Bridgeport Treatment Centers

Recovery Network of Programs (RNP) is a non-profit social service agency that has served Greater Bridgeport for fifty years, providing inpatient and outpatient substance use treatment to people dealing with substance use, homelessness and mental health problems together rather than separately — which is the point of the agency, since those three rarely arrive alone. Care is described as culturally responsive and respectful of a diverse community, and RNP depends partly on community donations to deliver it. The program takes Medicare and private insurance, and state funding is available.

The Chemical Abuse Services Agency (CASA) is a private non-profit community behavioral health organization that has worked in Bridgeport since 1987 and now also serves New Haven. Its supportive residential recovery runs as 90-day transitional programs for men aged 18 and over — two houses, one of ten beds and one of fourteen, both with 24-hour support — alongside withdrawal management, intensive outpatient and outpatient care, with longer stays sometimes available through the PILOTS program. CASA describes its care as culturally responsive, shaped around the Latino, African-American and LGBTQ+ communities it serves, and aimed at the trauma, shame and isolation underneath the substance use. Medicaid coverage is accepted, some cases individually evaluated, along with Medicare, private and military insurance, state funding, public assistance and self-pay.
