CORAS Wellness and Behavioral Health Dover provides outpatient addiction and behavioral health services at 1114 S. DuPont Highway, Suite 102, in Dover, Delaware. The current Dover program is the successor to the older Connections CSP listing associated with this address. Delaware Health and Social Services lists CORAS at this location as both an opioid outpatient treatment program and an outpatient treatment program, with outpatient and intensive outpatient levels of care. The clinic’s direct phone number is 302-672-9360.
Alcohol Treatment and DUI Services
Alcohol treatment is part of the services available through CORAS in Dover. The organization describes itself as a provider of drug and alcohol addiction treatment, and the Dover clinic offers state-approved DUI education and treatment in addition to broader addiction counseling. For someone whose main concern is alcohol use, the program can provide an assessment and help determine whether regular outpatient care, intensive outpatient treatment, or another level of care is appropriate. Treatment can address drinking patterns, triggers, relapse risk, family or work problems, and other issues that can interfere with recovery from alcohol addiction.
CORAS also provides individual and group counseling, mental health services, medication management, and care for people with co-occurring substance use and behavioral health conditions. The Dover clinic offers an intensive outpatient program for people who need more structure than standard outpatient counseling while continuing to live at home. People who need residential alcohol rehab or a medically monitored withdrawal setting can ask about placement within the broader CORAS treatment network or another appropriate program.
Medication Assisted Treatment and Recovery Support
The Dover location is also a certified opioid treatment program. Medication assisted treatment may include methadone and other medications used for opioid use disorder, combined with counseling and behavioral support. These medications are not a general substitute for alcohol treatment, so patients seeking help specifically for alcohol addiction should discuss their drinking history and treatment goals during assessment. CORAS also provides DUI and alcohol education services for individuals referred through the court or motor vehicle system.
Payment options are broad. CORAS states that it accepts Delaware Medicaid, Medicare, most commercial health insurance plans, and self-pay. Uninsured Delaware residents may also qualify for treatment funded through the Delaware Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health. Coverage and out-of-pocket responsibility can vary by service, so patients should verify benefits before beginning care.
CORAS Dover is an outpatient facility rather than a stand-alone residential alcohol detox center. Anyone with a history of severe alcohol withdrawal, seizures, delirium, significant medical illness, or a need for 24-hour supervision should ask whether a higher level of care is required before stopping alcohol use. For people who are appropriate for community-based care, the Dover clinic offers a combination of alcohol and substance use counseling, intensive outpatient treatment, DUI programming, mental health support, and ongoing recovery planning in one location.
