About Gifford Healthcare Addiction
Gifford Healthcare Addiction is a Joint Commission-accredited substance use treatment facility located at 1422 VT-66 in Randolph, Vermont. Operating within the Gifford Health Care system in Orange County, the center provides medically supervised withdrawal management and outpatient addiction services to individuals and families navigating the early stages of recovery. Its dual designation as a medical detox and outpatient provider makes it one of the few facilities in central Vermont offering both withdrawal management and continuing outpatient care under one clinical umbrella.
The facility offers two confirmed levels of care: medical detox and an outpatient program. Medical detox provides supervised withdrawal management for individuals whose substance use requires clinical monitoring before transitioning to less intensive treatment. The outpatient program supports patients who have completed detox or who require structured addiction treatment without residential placement, allowing them to maintain outside responsibilities while receiving care.
Clinically, the program addresses co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis alongside substance use, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a documented therapeutic method used in treatment. Trauma and PTSD are also recognized conditions treated at the facility, meaning patients dealing with underlying trauma alongside addiction can receive integrated care rather than being referred elsewhere for mental health support.
Gifford Healthcare Addiction serves a notably broad range of populations, including adolescents, young adults, veterans, pregnant women, seniors, men, women, individuals requiring court-ordered treatment, and those with HIV/AIDS support needs or Deaf and Hard of Hearing accommodations. Payment access is broad: Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance, state insurance, self-pay, sliding scale fees, and financial assistance are all accepted. The facility is open seven days a week, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
