South Central Rehabilitation Center at 232 Cedar Street in New Haven is Cornell Scott-Hill Health Center’s current 24-hour addiction treatment location for inpatient withdrawal management and related outpatient services. Cornell Scott identifies the site as offering addiction treatment, behavioral health care, methadone and Suboxone services, and a 24/7 detox program. For people who need help stopping alcohol safely, SCRC is one of the clearest withdrawal-management resources in the Cornell Scott system because its inpatient withdrawal management program specifically treats physical dependence on alcohol and other drugs.
24-Hour Inpatient Withdrawal Management
Cornell Scott describes a 26-bed, coed inpatient detox program at 232 Cedar Street. Medical staff monitor patients through withdrawal and provide medication when clinically appropriate to reduce symptoms and complications. The average detox stay is about five days, after which staff connect patients with continued recovery services. This level of care can be especially important for people with heavy daily alcohol use, a history of withdrawal seizures or delirium, significant medical problems, or other signs that stopping alcohol without supervision could be dangerous.
Outpatient Addiction and Behavioral Health Care
SCRC also provides outpatient substance use and mental health treatment, psychiatric evaluation, and medication management. That allows alcohol treatment to continue after medical stabilization instead of ending when detox is complete. Individual and group services can address relapse risk, psychiatric symptoms, motivation, coping skills, and other needs that affect long-term recovery. Cornell Scott also connects patients with case management, recovery supports, overdose prevention, and additional services across its New Haven treatment network.
Medication Services
The Cedar Street location provides methadone and buprenorphine treatment for opioid use disorder and also offers Vivitrol through Cornell Scott’s addiction services. Methadone and Suboxone should not be described as medications for alcohol use disorder. People whose primary concern is alcohol can ask the clinical team whether medication specifically appropriate for alcohol addiction is recommended after assessment. Treatment decisions depend on diagnosis, medical history, other substance use, and the individual’s recovery plan.
Choosing the Next Level of Care
Detox is an important first step, but it is not the same as complete addiction treatment. After withdrawal management, some people may benefit from outpatient care, intensive outpatient treatment, partial hospitalization, therapeutic living, mutual-support groups, or other continuing services. Cornell Scott’s Recovery & Wellness Center at 149 Minor Street provides additional structured treatment that can be coordinated after SCRC when appropriate.
