Mountainside is a nationally acclaimed substance abuse treatment center providing individualized alcoholism and drug addiction treatment to men and women aged 18 and over. Private rooms available.

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.

High Watch Recovery Center is a drug and alcohol rehab for adults. We are based in Kent, Connecticut. Our focus is on residential addiction treatment. High Watch Recovery Center further specializes in the provision dual diagnosis treatment, equine-assisted therapy.

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

The health center says it accepts all insurance, naming Medicare, Medicaid (Title 19), HUSKY and Charter Oak, and its Recovery and Wellness Center holds ASAM Level I accreditation.

Community Mental Health Affiliates (CMHA) is a private non-profit behavioral health provider headquartered in New Britain, Connecticut, with eight locations across central Connecticut and in Waterbury. It was the state's first fully Joint Commission accredited Behavioral Health Home and is a SAMHSA-certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic. Its residential continuum includes a 12-bed supervised program staffed by an Intensive Assertive Community Treatment team; the 16-bed Parkview 5, which CMHA describes as one of only two programs at that level of care in the state, with an average stay of about 18 months and usually a waiting list; and a 19-bed Transitional Living Center that steps clients down from Parkview 5 with nursing cover and two respite beds. Medicare, private insurance and self-pay 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. Treatment draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, DBT and EMDR, involves families directly, and is delivered under the Joint Commission's Gold Seal of Approval. Private and military insurance and self-pay are accepted.

Newport Academy's Todd Hill campus in Bethlehem is a residential treatment center for adolescents in rural Litchfield County, Connecticut, treating mental health conditions, trauma, co-occurring disorders and substance use, with intensive outpatient care alongside. Teaching continues through an accredited academic curriculum so a student does not fall behind while admitted, families are treated as part of the work, and therapy draws on CBT, DBT and EMDR. Newport holds the Joint Commission's Gold Seal of Approval and publishes third-party outcomes research. Coverage is through private or military insurance, or self-pay.

The Patrick F. McAuliffe Center is Connecticut Renaissance's co-occurring residential program at 70 Central Avenue in Waterbury. Connecticut Renaissance is a CARF-accredited non-profit corporation established in 1967 that runs residential, outpatient and community-based behavioral health, addiction and criminal-justice programs for adults and adolescents across Fairfield and New Haven counties, including specialist treatment for problem gambling for adults 18 and over and family-based services for younger people affected by someone else's gambling. The organization says most insurances are accepted and that a sliding fee scale is available for people who would otherwise have difficulty paying; Medicare, military insurance and state-financed coverage are also recorded for this location.

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.

Center for Discovery's Wellington campus in Fairfield, Connecticut provides residential eating disorder treatment, one of several Center for Discovery sites in the state alongside Southport, Greenwich and Congress Street in Fairfield. Treatment follows the organization's CARE-CFD model, combining trauma-focused nutrition therapy, collaboration between the patient and the care team, whole-body and nervous-system awareness and a weight-inclusive stance, and there is a dedicated pathway for veterans. Commercial insurance is accepted, including Anthem BC/BS, Aetna, Optum, Cigna and TRICARE East, and military coverage. The program does not accept Medicare or Medicaid.

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.

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.

Trinity Glen is MCCA's men's residential substance use treatment program on West Cornwall Road in Sharon, Connecticut, part of MCCA's network of addiction treatment services across western Connecticut.

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.
