For people who need medically supervised withdrawal from alcohol, benzodiazepines, or other substances, care at The Ridge Recovery Center Windham starts with detox. The 16-bed withdrawal management unit occupies the building's main floor and may involve medication-assisted treatment and ear acupuncture to ease symptoms and lessen cravings. Someone who drinks heavily or uses benzodiazepines should withdraw under clinical care, since stopping suddenly can be dangerous. Adults then move into residential rehab with structured daily programming and support around the clock. That residential phase usually runs 28 or more days. People who want a longer stretch of structure can use the extended stay program, which has nine sober living suites billed by the day, week, or month.
Evidence-based and holistic approaches are blended by the clinical team. Cognitive behavioral therapy, individual sessions with a clinical psychologist, relapse prevention counseling, and medication-assisted treatment are among the offerings. Art and animal therapy, acupuncture, meditation, mindfulness, and life skills groups fill out the weekly schedule. A program at The Ridge Recovery Center Windham brings a trauma informed approach that speaks to both addiction and mental health. Mental health support, family counseling, and 12-step facilitation may be part of someone's plan. Groups take up subjects like life skills, and yoga and hiking happen on the grounds.
