Farrell Treatment Center serves adults facing alcohol or other drug problems, and it also addresses mental health conditions that appear at the same time. The program has operated in New Britain since 1973. Rather than giving everyone one fixed plan, staff members create an individual course of care that treats the substance use and any co-occurring condition together.
According to the center, its care is compassionate and built around each person. Someone might stay in a structured residential setting, attend an intensive outpatient program, or meet for individual and group therapy while living at home. A clinician oversees residential care, and residents join psychoeducational sessions and group counseling that address substance use disorders and how mental health fits in. Residents may also address grief, loss, or trauma that could have shaped how an addiction developed.
The intensive outpatient program meets three days per week, and each session lasts three hours. Daytime and evening times are both available so people can work around their own schedules. Alongside substance use, clients may work on managing anger, lowering stress, recovering from trauma, and preventing relapse.
Services and care levels in New Britain
At its New Britain location, Farrell Treatment Center runs a residential track with medical oversight, an intensive outpatient program, and one-on-one and group therapy on an outpatient basis. Which of these a person enters depends on their circumstances. Facilities of this kind in Connecticut appear in listings with residential and outpatient services for adults, and a clinical evaluation determines the appropriate level. Alongside medical supervision, residents take part in educational sessions and group counseling. The intensive outpatient schedule runs three days each week, three hours per visit, and includes daytime and evening times. For people who do not require a more structured environment, individual and group outpatient therapy remain options.
If you are weighing residential versus outpatient care, then a phone call can clarify which level fits your situation and whether your insurance covers it. When you call a Connecticut addiction treatment center, ask how the level of care is decided and what happens if your needs change mid-program. Therapy options listed include one-on-one counseling, group therapy, an introduction to the 12 Step program, medication-assisted treatment, psychoeducation, relapse prevention counseling, and spiritual care. The center also lists a personalized treatment approach. After the main program, aftercare includes group therapy and support meetings.

FAQ
What does Farrell Treatment Center Connecticut New Britain offer?
Care at the center includes residential treatment, intensive outpatient treatment, and outpatient therapy for individuals and groups. Residential care is supervised by medical staff and covers psychoeducation along with group counseling. The intensive outpatient program meets three days each week, three hours per session, with daytime and evening tracks available. Counseling options span one-on-one sessions, group therapy, medication-assisted treatment, and relapse prevention support.
How long is treatment at this New Britain center?
A common stay is 30 days, though the center states that the time each client spends there is adjusted to what that person needs. The suitable length depends on the level of care, whether mental health conditions are addressed at the same time, and how treatment is progressing. It is worth asking the center how it settles on a length of stay and what support comes afterward.
Does Farrell Treatment Center accept Medicaid or insurance?
What is available shows self-pay rates, but it does not say whether insurance or Medicaid is accepted. Contact the center to confirm that your plan is taken and what your share would be. If Connecticut Medicaid is an option for you, ask the center directly about participation. Staff on you can confirm coverage with help from the helpline and openings at no charge, and nothing is required of you.
What should I know about alcohol or benzodiazepine withdrawal?
Quitting alcohol or benzodiazepines can carry real risk, which is why a clinician belongs in charge of it. MedlinePlus describes alcohol withdrawal as ranging from mild to severe, and benzodiazepine withdrawal may also be serious. The center provides medication-assisted treatment and residential care with medical oversight. Ask how your withdrawal would be monitored and who would respond if symptoms worsened.
How do I verify insurance for a Connecticut rehab center?
Phone the admissions line at the center and ask if your plan is in network and which paperwork they require. Keep your insurance card on hand. The helpline can also help you check coverage at Farrell Treatment Center or at other SAMHSA-listed programs in Connecticut. Checking your benefits does not obligate you to start treatment.
