Headquartered at 232 Cedar Street in New Haven, Cornell Scott-Hill Health Center (CSHHC) serves approximately 57,000 patients each year across 38 locations, integrating addiction treatment with primary care, pediatrics, women’s health, dental, pharmacy, and behavioral health services in a Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) model.

As the largest provider of outpatient behavioral healthcare in southern Connecticut, CSHHC’s adult behavioral health team supports patients with co-occurring mental health conditions in coordination with their addiction care. This integration helps reduce the gaps that often exist between behavioral health and medical care, particularly for patients with complex needs.

CSHHC is accredited by The Joint Commission and has been recognized by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) as a Health Center Quality Leader, a High Value Care center, and a leader in Advancing Health Information Technology for Quality. The organization holds Patient-Centered Medical Home recognition and has been recognized as a HRSA Health Disparities Reducer, underscoring its commitment to equitable care.

Services are available to patients regardless of insurance status, with eligibility based on income and family size, and CSHHC uses a sliding fee scale. Patients can reach the main number at 203-503-3000 or the rehabilitation center directly at 203-503-3300.

Medically Supervised Detox Programs

Cornell Scott Hill Health Center South Central Rehabilitation Center maintains 24/7 medically supervised detox capabilities for patients requiring immediate withdrawal management from drugs and alcohol. The facility's medical detox protocols provide continuous monitoring during the acute withdrawal phase, ensuring patient safety through medically supervised care.

Short-term residential detox services address the immediate physical aspects of withdrawal while preparing patients for transition to outpatient programming. The center's medical supervision extends beyond standard business hours, providing round-the-clock care during the most critical phases of detox when medical complications are most likely to occur.

Outpatient Addiction Treatment Services

The rehabilitation center operates comprehensive outpatient programs Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM, serving patients with substance use disorders and behavioral health conditions. These outpatient services complement the facility's detox programs, creating continuity of care from initial withdrawal management through ongoing recovery support.

Outpatient programming addresses drug and alcohol addiction through structured treatment schedules that allow patients to maintain work and family responsibilities while receiving intensive addiction treatment. The center's outpatient approach provides flexibility for patients transitioning from inpatient detox or those seeking addiction treatment without residential placement.

Dual Diagnosis Treatment Capabilities

Cornell Scott Hill Health Center specializes in dual diagnosis treatment, addressing both substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions within integrated treatment plans. This approach recognizes that many individuals seeking detox services also require behavioral health treatment for underlying psychiatric conditions.

The facility's dual diagnosis capabilities ensure that patients receive comprehensive assessment and treatment for both addiction and mental health disorders simultaneously. This integrated approach reduces the risk of relapse by addressing all contributing factors to substance use rather than treating addiction in isolation from co-occurring conditions.
