About
The Brattleboro Retreat serves as a comprehensive dual diagnosis facility focused on assisting both adolescents and adults dealing with substance use disorders, behavioral challenges, and coexisting mental health issues. The center offers a diverse array of programs designed to help individuals achieve sobriety and overcome serious health issues. Its offerings encompass specialized programs, including inpatient care for both adults and adolescents grappling with substance dependency, a dedicated inpatient service for children aged 5-12 facing significant emotional and behavioral challenges, support for LGBTQ+ adults, a program tailored for first responders and military personnel, and virtual intensive outpatient (IOP) options. Treatment includes a combination of individual and group therapy, along with on-site 12-Step meetings. Group sessions cover important topics such as alcohol awareness, strategies for relapse prevention, anger management, and coping mechanisms. Before departure, clients collaborate with their primary counselor to establish a comprehensive aftercare plan.

The campus has an atmosphere reminiscent of a collegiate environment, featuring a central lawn, both indoor and outdoor recreational spaces, and is situated near a vibrant array of dining, shopping, and cultural attractions in downtown Brattleboro.
