— You are not alone
The hardest part is admitting it. You have already done that.
Most of the working adults who walk through our doors have been quietly carrying this for years. They have jobs. They have families. They are exhausted. They are not weak.

— The program
A structured outpatient program built for adults with real lives.
IOP runs 3 days a week for 8 weeks. Intensive enough to interrupt the pattern, flexible enough to fit around work and family. Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) is built in for clients who qualify.
02·MAT
Medication Assisted Treatment
For alcohol and opioid use, MAT is the standard of care. Our prescriber works alongside your clinician. No separate appointment, no extra referral, no waiting list.
03·Approach
Harm reduction, not abstinence only
We work to your goal, whether that is full abstinence, cutting back, or stabilizing on MAT. The work is honest because it has to be.
04·Continuum
Continuum of care
IOP, group, individual, recovery coaching, alumni support. One team, one record, one place, for as long as you need it.
"I can't afford it."
We are in-network with the major commercial insurers in Connecticut, including Aetna, Anthem, Cigna, ConnectiCare, Optum, and Oxford. We verify your benefits during the pre-screen so you know your out-of-pocket before the intake. Self-pay options are available.
"I don't have the time."
Pick AM or PM. Our evening track was built for people with full-time jobs. Most of our clients keep working through the entire program.
AM Track
9:00 AM to 12:00 PM
Mon, Wed, Thu. For overnight or non-traditional schedules: second shift, healthcare workers, shift workers, parents.
PM Track
5:30 PM to 8:30 PM
Mon, Wed, Thu. For full-time professionals, court-mandated clients, and parents handling daytime childcare.
— What to expect, 8 weeks
An 8-week curriculum built on the 8 dimensions of wellness.
Each week of IOP focuses on one dimension. Click any week to see what we cover, who you will meet, and what the room actually looks like.
Week 01 · Stabilization and safety
The emotional dimension
We start where you are. The first week is about getting you steady. That means medical clearance, MAT options if appropriate, and the language to describe what is happening.
- Whole-person assessment with a licensed clinician
- Medication Assisted Treatment evaluation, if appropriate
- Personalized weekly plan with AM or PM track
