Medically Monitored Inpatient Services (ASAM Level 3.7) Danbury, CT • Taking the First Step Together
When you or someone you love is ready to break the cycle of addiction, knowing where to start can feel overwhelming. At MCCA, we provide a safe, compassionate, and expert-led sanctuary to help you take those crucial first steps.
Our state-licensed, ASAM 3.7 Level of Care programs offer 24-hour medical supervision and emotional support in a professional inpatient setting. Under the careful guidance of our physicians and nursing team, we don’t just manage the physical challenges of withdrawal—we help interrupt the momentum of active addiction, providing the breathing room needed to establish the very first days of a lasting recovery.
We welcome patients and families with dignity, respect, and a clear plan for the future. To ensure the safest and most effective care, MCCA offers two specialized inpatient units on our Danbury campus:
1. The Withdrawal Management Unit (ASAM 3.7WM)
Formerly Residential Detoxification
The first few days of choosing sobriety are often the hardest. Our specialized Withdrawal Management (Detox) Unit is designed to keep you safe, comfortable, and medically supported as your body clears alcohol or other substances.
- 24/7 Compassionate Care: Our onsite team of physician, APRNs, nurses, and clinical experts continuously monitors your health and vital signs.
- Comfort & Stabilization: We utilize carefully managed, physician-approved medications to significantly ease discomfort and reduce withdrawal symptoms.
- A Supportive Start: From day one, you will have access to counseling, encouraging peer-led groups, and recovery coaching.
- Planning for Tomorrow: Recovery is a journey. Our team begins mapping out your next steps and aftercare options from the moment you arrive, ensuring you are never left wondering what comes next.
2. McDonough House: Intensive Inpatient Unit (ASAM 3.7R)
Medically Monitored Intensive Inpatient Services
For individuals who have completed detox but still need close medical monitoring and deep therapeutic support to fully stabilize, McDonough House provides a highly structured and healing environment.
This unit is specifically designed to help you navigate post-acute withdrawal symptoms, rebuild physical strength, and begin healing the mind. When your time at McDonough House is complete, we coordinate a seamless, warm handoff to the next stage of your journey—whether that is a transition to a residential recovery community or a flexible Intensive Outpatient program.
