Opioid Addiction Treatment Center in Bennington Planned

BENNINGTON, Vt. - Aug. 2, 2018 - PRLog -- An addiction treatment center that will center on opioid use disorders has been alluded to in Bennington, Vermont.

Acadia, a behavioral healthcare provider, has indicated that they plan to open an addiction treatment center in Bennington but have not gave specifics on when it will open or who would be in charge.

United Counseling Service (UCS), currently the only healthcare provider in Bennington providing medication-assisted treatment (MAT) services, will lose state funding after December. Once that happens, their addiction treatment center will not be able to help people struggling with opioid use disorders.

UCS officials appealed the choice to cut funding to their drug and alcohol abuse treatment center but they were denied, putting their future in risk. They might be forced to transfer their patients to another program if they close.

Acadia provides several different addiction treatment programs at their facilities throughout the nation.

When patients enter Acadia, they undergo the detoxification process. Inpatient treatment is not only the next step but also often the most intense part of the addiction recovery process. It is usually the ideal form of substance abuse treatment for patients who have co-occurring disorders.

Residential drug treatment programs are not as intense as inpatient rehabilitation but include constant care and all other services of an inpatient program.
