Liberation Programs Westport Youth & Westport

At 70 North Ave. in Westport, Liberation Programs operates a site designed mainly for young people and their families. The team works alongside Staples High School, so counseling can fit around a school schedule. Most sessions take place at the office, and telehealth can be arranged when getting there is hard.

The team practices harm reduction, meeting individuals at their current stage instead of insisting on complete abstinence as a precondition. This may involve medications like buprenorphine, naltrexone, or Suboxone to reduce cravings and sustain treatment. Narcan is kept on hand for emergencies, and the staff work to reduce overdose risk even when a person is not yet ready to quit using altogether.

In addition to counseling, Liberation Programs provides prevention services for both adults and young people in the community. The staff includes recovery coaches, some of whom have experience helping clients who are pregnant or raising children. The center also maintains 18 temporary housing units for people in recovery, and mobile outreach vans bring referrals, medication prescriptions, and educational materials to community events and schools.

The core of Liberation Programs Westport is an intensive outpatient program (IOP) for adolescents and their families, with 30 days as the typical length. Counselors use cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and family therapy, and they may add medication-assisted treatment to a plan. Liberation Programs Westport Youth & Westport offers 30-day intensive outpatient care for teens and families in Westport. Sessions are mainly at the office, but telehealth can be arranged when needed.

The center treats substance use together with mental health needs in a single plan. Once intensive outpatient care ends, follow-up may involve a recovery coach, job counseling, housing help, and planning to prevent relapse. If a teen needs both addiction treatment and mental health support, then an integrated plan at this Westport center can address both at once. The program also offers prevention services to adults and young people in the community.
