Aware Recovery Care In-Home Addiction Treatment in Connecticut

In-Home, Long term, makes complete sense, chronic treatment for chronic disease, very experienced staff, compassionate and caring and dedicated. Unlike any other program that I have every had the pleasure of completing. N/A - Just that there aren't locations other than Connecticut and now New Hampshire. I learned about Aware Recovery Care when I saw an advertisement in Connecticut Magazine. I contacted them by phone and had a lovely conversation with one of the employees there..This was back in December of 2015. He invited me to come into the office where I met with him and several other people. We talked about my depression, impending divorce, and the fact that I was turning increasingly to alcohol to relieve my symptoms of depression and to numb myself from feeling emotional pain. We discussed insurance, and he told me that the program would be covered under by Anthem Blue Cross/Blue Shield plan. I signed up and began the program. At first, Aware was concerned that I might need to go to the hospital for withdrawal treatment, but I assured them that I had in the past quit spontaneously on my own and never suffered any consequences. I declined to go to the hospital. Next, they put me in contact with a nurse practitioner who I met with several times so that she could evaluate my health and mental status and be sure that I was not in any danger. I don’t recall her name, but she was lovely and very encouraging. During this time, I was regularly meeting with one staff member...who was counseling me and putting me in touch with the staff nurse for urine screenings and blood pressure readings. Everyone was extremely compassionate and kind. It has been nine months now that I have been on the program. In addition to my regular contact with the staff, I am in a very good place. Everyone has been wonderful. Staff has always been there for me and I always felt that I could call them at any time of the day or night for help if I was feeling lost, or if I was feeling the need to abuse alcohol again. Another staff member..was also wonderful and provided all kinds of useful advice and comfort to me as I tried to navigate all the impending divorce issues. One counselor has become my “spiritual life coach” and helped me to figure out all kinds of things….like how to take care of myself, find ways to alleviate my pain that did not involve alcohol, and how to structure my time in a way that is productive and self-affirming. I have grown so much throughout the year. I feel capable, confident and able to manage the many, many challenges of my life including the recent death of my dear Father. I’m probably forgetting a few names of people at Aware that have helped me, so please forgive me for that. I do so appreciate everyone that I came in contact with for their kindness and their compassion. Truly, I could not have accomplished all that I have this year without your love and support. I would highly recommend this program to anyone that is suffering from alcohol addiction. While I did not attend rehab before attending Aware, I can see how this program would complement rehab for its focus on getting the client to a place of wholeness, self-sufficiency, and self-awareness. I am more than happy to speak to future clients if they want a reference for the program, or if they simply want to know more about how it all works. I am truly indebted to Aware for a remarkable period of Recovery. Thank you, and God Bless each and every one of you for what you do. Sincerely.
