APT Foundation North Haven Clinic North Haven

The clinic serves adults coping with substance use and mental health concerns at the same time, and has done so in Connecticut since 1970. Care centers on each person's circumstances instead of one fixed track. A person may seek help with alcohol, opioids, or another drug, and the staff also ask about anxiety, depression, trauma, or grief that may be mixed in. It is one of 156 SAMHSA-listed rehab centers in Connecticut that offer outpatient addiction treatment.

A care plan here brings both threads together. Medication management and counseling are coordinated rather than handled as separate errands, and psychiatrists are involved in prescribing decisions. The clinic describes its approach as trauma-informed and strengths-based, which in practice means asking what a person has survived and what they can build on. This Connecticut alcohol rehab program treats co-occurring disorders alongside substance use. Telehealth sessions are available when appropriate, including during public health emergencies.

The foundation behind the clinic says it wants care to be reachable regardless of what someone can pay, and it uses an open access approach rather than screening people out on finances first. That matters in a state where the need is plain. As one of the drug rehab centers in Connecticut, it serves people from North Haven and nearby towns. Families and partners are included when that helps, through family and couples sessions.

The clinic's listed services cover outpatient care and mental health support delivered together with substance use treatment, so people continue living at home between appointments. Anyone wanting more structure can enroll in an intensive outpatient program that meets three days per week, with a minimum of nine hours combining group therapy, individual counseling, and one psychiatric consultation weekly. Adults whose needs go beyond a weekly session can step up to the Connecticut intensive outpatient program.

Therapy options listed include individual counseling, cognitive behavioral therapy, group therapy, family therapy, art therapy, acupuncture, psychoeducation, stress management, and trauma-specific therapy. The approaches the clinic states include evidence-based, medical, holistic, individual, strengths-based, and trauma-informed care. Medication-assisted treatment is a specialization, and the clinic reports that methadone and buprenorphine may be part of a plan with psychiatric oversight. People with an opioid use disorder can ask about medication-assisted treatment in Connecticut at this number.

Following treatment, the clinic lists continuing care, discharge planning, employment counseling, outpatient treatment, and support meetings. When a person needs more than outpatient care, staff should lay out the referral path prior to admission, because this setting has no residential beds.

Location, duration, and language options

The clinic is an outpatient site at 352 State St in North Haven, so there is no residential stay; a typical program length is listed as 90 days, though the actual schedule depends on the individual plan and progress. Sessions run in English and Spanish, and telehealth is offered when appropriate. Daily groups cover topics such as trauma, stress, grief, relapse prevention, psychoeducation, and goal setting, alongside activities that include acupuncture, expressive arts, tai chi, horticulture, meditation, and mindfulness. If a clinician recommends a residential level of care, then this clinic is not the setting for that phase and a referral elsewhere would be needed.

Paying for treatment here in North Haven

Among its payment options, the foundation lists cash pay rates, and it states that access through its open access approach does not hinge on ability to pay. What an insurance plan covers for outpatient care or medication-assisted treatment varies from plan to plan, so call the clinic and ask them to check your benefits before you pick a starting date. If cost is the barrier, ask the clinic what options it can extend and what the state Medicaid program may cover. The helpline below can help you compare choices at no charge, and its staff are trained to connect callers with licensed providers.

Ask these before admission

• Does my insurance plan cover outpatient care and medication-assisted treatment here, and what will I owe?

• Who prescribes medication here, and how often would I see a psychiatrist?
• What happens if I need a residential level of care instead of outpatient?
• Can sessions be held in Spanish, or with a telehealth option, if I need either?
