South Central Rehabilitation Center (SCRC) is a multi-disciplinary, integrated healthcare facility providing evidenced based medicine for the treatment of chemical dependency, mental illness, and primary medical conditions (especially the infectious complications of addiction such as HIV and hepatitis C) in New Haven, CT. SCRC provides specialty care in each of these domains. First, SCRC provides state-of-the art treatments for chemical dependency through the use of methadone and buprenorphine maintenance for the treatment of opioid dependence. Additionally, pharmacological treatments for alcohol, cocaine, and nicotine dependence are incorporated into the chemical dependency treatment at SCRC. As part of the chemical dependency treatments, SCRC operates a regional 29 bed medically-monitored detoxification facility. Triage of individuals seeking detoxification occurs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Second, SCRC provides treatment for mental illness including pharmacological therapies and skilled mental health counseling. Third, SCRC provides primary care including HIV and hepatitis C specialty care. SCRC is one of only a few addiction medicine programs in the USA that has integrated these complex treatments to improve patient outcomes.

SCRC has a multi-disciplinary staff including medical providers, psychiatry, social work, counseling and nursing. The medical providers work with the SCRC Medical Director around patient treatment protocols, policy and procedures. A Program Director is available 24 hours per day to oversee administrative issues, and works in concert with the Medical Director to ensure that standards of care are adhered to within the facility.
