Newport Institute treats young adults aged 18 to 35 for mental health conditions, substance use and co-occurring disorders, and this Connecticut site on Congress Street provides residential treatment with a partial hospitalization program and intensive outpatient care as step-down. Residential tracks are separated by gender, in home-like rather than institutional settings, and the clinical model treats the underlying condition — trauma, depression, anxiety — rather than the substance use alone, which is the usual reason a young adult's treatment has not held before. The program is accredited by The Joint Commission. Most major private insurance is accepted along with self-pay; Newport states that it takes public insurance such as Medicaid only in limited locations and situations, so coverage should be confirmed for this site specifically.

Silver Hill Hospital in New Canaan is a provider of mental health care services.

Outpatient Rehab·Opioid Treatment Program

Connecticut Counseling Centers is a not-for-profit providing licensed outpatient substance use and mental health treatment for adults, and this is its Norwalk site. Medication-assisted treatment here covers all three FDA-approved medications for opioid use disorder — methadone, buprenorphine and naltrexone — delivered with medical, nursing, psychiatric and counseling support, and the organization has been expanding methadone access through a new opioid treatment program. Intensive outpatient programs run for substance use, mental health and co-occurring conditions, with gender-specific groups available, and bilingual staff serve Spanish-speaking clients. The organization is CARF-accredited, licensed by the Connecticut Department of Public Health and funded in part by the Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services. Medicaid, Medicare, private and military insurance are accepted.

Newport Academy's Darien location is an outpatient site for adolescents, running partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programming for mental health conditions, co-occurring disorders and substance use — the step-down levels of the residential care Newport provides elsewhere.

Discovery Mood & Anxiety Program runs a six-bed, gender-inclusive residential mental health home on Mine Hill Road in Fairfield, Connecticut, for adolescents aged 11 to 17. It treats anxiety, depression and trauma using cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy, and its small size means a household rather than a ward. Where a young person needs more than residential care can give, Discovery's Stamford home provides higher levels of care within the same organization. It is part of the Discovery Behavioral Health network, which describes its approach as measurement-based. Private and military insurance are accepted.

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.

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.

Outpatient Rehab

McCall Behavioral Health Network – Danbury is the Danbury location of a Connecticut nonprofit that has helped individuals and families heal from substance use and mental health disorders for more than 50 years.

Center for Discovery Fairfield provides residential eating disorder treatment for women and non-binary adults aged 18 and over, and has done so since opening in 2015, taking clients from Connecticut, New York and New Jersey. Treatment follows the center's CARE-CFD model, which combines trauma-focused nutrition therapy, collaboration between the patient and the care team, attention to the whole body including the nervous system, and an explicitly weight-inclusive stance. Co-occurring conditions are treated alongside the eating disorder, and there is a dedicated pathway for veterans. The program is in-network with major insurers including Anthem BCBS, Aetna, Optum, Cigna and TRICARE East, and private and military insurance are accepted.

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.

Outpatient Rehab

Liberation Programs' Stamford clinic provides outpatient and intensive outpatient treatment for substance use and mental health conditions, including opioid use disorder. The agency began in Stamford in 1971 — Liberation House was its first site — and now runs services in Bridgeport, Greenwich, Norwalk, Stamford and Westport, working with adolescents, men, women and families. It says most of the people it serves are on Medicaid and that services are provided regardless of ability to pay: staff help clients obtain coverage through the Affordable Care Act, check eligibility for state and federal benefits, offer a self-pay sliding scale and, in limited circumstances, provide scholarship treatment. Scholarship beds may be available for people with opioid use disorder whose insurance will not cover inpatient care, and the organization has beds for women and children.
