About Connecticut Center for Recovery
Connecticut Center for Recovery helps clients begin their journey to recovery through outpatient care for addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions. They offer multiple levels of support—including day treatment, intensive outpatient programs (IOP), and extended care—tailored to each client’s needs.
Create a New Normal with 12-Step & Evidence-Based Care
Connecticut Center for Recovery blends the 12-Step model with evidence-based therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and trauma resolution. Their approach fosters love, peace, patience, and acceptance—helping clients shift focus from addiction to building a positive life. Through individual and group therapy, family counseling, peer support, life-skills training, and, when needed, medication, clients gain healthy coping tools and address the root causes of mental health and substance use challenges.
Fit Treatment into Daily Life
Connecticut Center for Recovery offers day treatment and IOP programs—including a convenient telehealth IOP—for clients needing structured care without full-time residential support. Through individual and group therapy, family involvement, and holistic services, clients address core mental health and addiction issues while living at home or in sober housing. These programs support steady reintegration and reduce relapse risk—whether beginning recovery or stepping down from higher levels of care.
Stay Connected to Care & Community
Connecticut Center for Recovery offers thoughtful aftercare to support long-term healing. Clients can continue weekly one-on-one therapy for up to a year and stay connected through alumni programming that includes peer support and occasional reunions. This ongoing connection helps maintain progress, strengthen community bonds, and ease the transition into independent, sustained recovery.
