CT Renaissance Waterbury West Waterbury

At its Waterbury West site, CT Renaissance runs a residential program lasting 90 days for adult men addressing substance use. Men in the program learn to spot the circumstances that tend to set off their drinking or drug use, and they build practical skills for avoiding a return to it. The clinical work spans one-on-one counseling, group sessions, and meetings that include family members, along with classes that teach about substance use, help with daily living skills, and attendance at self-help groups.

When someone is close to finishing, the team works through a discharge plan with him and points him toward outside organizations if that is what he needs. Help with securing a place to live and a job is part of this too. Underneath it all, the purpose is to give each man groundwork he can stand on for enduring sobriety.

Programs at CT Renaissance Waterbury

CT Renaissance Waterbury West provides a single level of care: residential rehab for men. The typical program lasts 90 days, and treatment combines individual and group work. Evidence-based approaches are used, among them cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and motivational enhancement therapy. Family therapy and trauma-specific therapy are offered as well, and medication-assisted treatment is available when appropriate.

Counseling aimed at preventing relapse, paired with lessons in everyday living skills, gives men room to rehearse different responses to stress and craving. Classes on substance use and self-help meetings round out the schedule. Planning for the transition out, including referrals elsewhere when appropriate, makes up the aftercare piece.
