SCADD’s John N. Dempsey Adult Behavioral Health program provides outpatient substance use and mental health treatment at 932 Bank Street in New London, Connecticut. SCADD’s current outpatient page identifies this location as one of the program’s two New London service sites and describes individual counseling, group treatment, intensive outpatient programming, medication management, medication-assisted treatment, and primary care. Connecticut’s DMHAS Addiction Services Availability system independently lists 932 Bank Street as a current SCADD outpatient location, making this a verified community-based option for adults seeking help with alcohol use.
Outpatient and IOP Options
The Adult Behavioral Health Clinic provides regular outpatient care as well as an intensive outpatient program. SCADD states that its IOP operates five days per week and emphasizes relapse prevention, psychoeducation, identifying triggers, and applying recovery principles to everyday life. Adults working on alcohol addiction can receive a higher level of weekly structure through IOP or a less intensive schedule when clinically appropriate, allowing treatment to continue while the person remains at home.
Therapy, Education, and Relapse Prevention
Current services include comprehensive screening, evaluation, referral, individualized treatment planning, individual sessions, and group therapy. SCADD also lists gender-specific psychoeducation, anger management, grief and loss work, cognitive behavioral skill building, and aftercare planning. These approaches can help clients examine the thoughts, emotions, relationships, and situations connected with alcohol use while developing practical strategies for coping with cravings, stress, and relapse risk.
Coordinated Mental and Physical Health Care
SCADD screens for co-occurring mental health conditions across its programs and uses trauma-informed care. Medication management and medication-assisted treatment are available, and SCADD states that MAT can support recovery from alcohol as well as opioid and prescription drug use when clinically appropriate. Primary care at 932 Bank Street adds another point of coordination for clients whose alcohol use affects physical health or who need routine medical follow-up during recovery.
Knowing When Detox Comes First
The 932 Bank Street clinic is not SCADD’s medical alcohol detox unit. A person with severe alcohol withdrawal risk, previous seizures, delirium, or serious medical instability should disclose that history during screening. SCADD can direct patients who need medically monitored withdrawal to the William M. Walsh Recovery Center at 47 Coit Street before or alongside continuing outpatient treatment.
Bank Street Access and Payment
The verified address is 932 Bank Street, New London, CT 06320, and the current SCADD phone is 860-447-1717. DMHAS currently identifies walk-in outpatient access at this address on Monday and Friday from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM, although schedules should be confirmed before traveling. DMHAS reports Medicaid and most major insurance plans, including self-pay. SCADD also offers insurance-benefit review, grant-option assistance, and individualized payment plans for uninsured clients. People seeking alcohol treatment should verify current hours, program fit, coverage, and any copay or deductible before starting care.
