Dear Waterstone Community,

We sincerely hope that you and your loved ones remain safe as our nation works to contain the spread of the COVID-19 virus. As a trusted ally in outpatient addiction therapy and integrated psychotherapy, we’d also like to address any concerns you may have regarding our ongoing treatment programs at Waterstone during this crisis. While it is crucial for each of us to adhere to active precautionary measures, like you, we have not lost sight of the massive impact that addiction continues to have on our country. For this reason, we will continue to provide personalized cutting-edge treatment programs to our patients and clients with increased vigilance towards patient safety that includes disinfecting procedures that go well beyond active CDC-recommended mitigation strategies. While we continue to provide in-person one-on-one therapy sessions that are staggered to avoid unnecessary contact with other patients, we are also happy to report that our new “Telehealth” system is a well-functioning solution. This system is providing patients remote access to our team for consultation and group therapy sessions. Simply call our office at 203-245-0412 to set up an appointment or make a referral. Please feel free to contact us with any concerns you may encounter. It is our goal to retain a robust dialogue with you and for all of us to emerge from this challenge together. Until then, we will keep you informed as new information becomes available and we wish you and your families our most sincere best wishes during this time.

Please reach out if you need us. We are here to help!

Testimonials

The Fresh Start Treatment Program

The gold-standard for care in treating opiate addiction is Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT). Waterstone Counseling Center has combined this standard of care with the philosophy of our organization which has resulted in compassionate and cutting-edge treatment available to anyone in need. Our “Fresh Start Treatment Program” is unique in that it offers comprehensive, multidisciplinary and fully immersive recovery treatment with the flexibility of an outpatient setting. This allows our clients to address their life responsibilities such as employment and childcare while receiving the best possible care. We apply goal-oriented and integrated psychotherapy with the aim of helping our clients create sustainable change. Our multidisciplinary team of highly trained physicians, nurses, psychologists, social workers, patient coordinators and case managers collaborate to provide our clients with the comprehensive care that is required to achieve stabilization in early remission and then long-term recovery.

Because opiate addiction is life threatening, chronic, and resilient, our model is designed uniquely to provide as much access to services as is possible in an outpatient setting including: ongoing group and/or individual psychotherapy, regular meetings with the prescribing physician, medication monitoring, access to specialty trauma therapy, and weekly urinalysis.
