About Natchaug Hospital- Sachem House

In the town of Mansfield Center, Connecticut, Natchaug Hospital’s Sachem House provides medication assisted treatment (MAT) that uses medication and counseling to help adults overcome opioid alcohol or drug addiction. Outpatient treatment of opiate dependence with buprenorphine is the program’s main feature. The key to their strategy is therapy, which is conducted in small relapse prevention groups.

In order to facilitate your healing process and reduce any stigmas surrounding MAT in this small town, privacy is given top priority. Treatments for opioid use disorder include buprenorphine based drugs such as Suboxone, Zubsolv, Bunavail as well as naltrexone and its extended-release versions such as Vivitrol and Revia. Acamprosate and Disulfiram are also offered in their treatment plans for alcohol use disorder.

Their flagship Suboxone program seeks to help patients stop using opiates with the least amount of disturbance to their daily routine. You’ll get personalized care with their outpatient services for adults 18 years of age and up. Their MAT has flexible treatment hours to fit their dosing and group and individual counseling into your schedule.

Their adult partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) programs offer a therapeutic setting to teach coping mechanisms and improve functioning for individuals who need more intensive support. Group therapy is at the heart of each treatment plan and encourages participants to share experiences and feel validated. These programs combine structured clinical support with up to six hours of treatment per day five days a week to help patients avoid inpatient hospitalization and make the transition home easier following inpatient care.

Levels of Care

Dual Diagnosis

Dual diagnosis programs address substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions simultaneously. This integrated approach to care improves the likelihood of long term recovery and stability by addressing the root causes of addiction.
Outpatient

In outpatient therapy, you’ll attend therapy sessions several times each week while living at home. This is ideal if you have a strong support system and a lower risk of relapse. Outpatient treatment offers flexibility to maintain work, school or family obligations.

Detox Service Setting

Outpatient Detox

Outpatient detox gives you access to medically supervised withdrawal services while still allowing you to live at home. You’ll attend a clinic for treatment and monitoring. This flexible option is suitable for those with mild to moderate withdrawal symptoms who have strong support systems.
MAT

Medication assisted treatment combines medication and counseling to manage withdrawal and reduce cravings for opioid and alcohol addiction. Medications may include methadone, buprenorphine or naltrexone. MAT is tailored to your needs so you can actively participate in your treatment journey.
