About

Located just a short distance from downtown Bridgeport and easily reachable via I-95, this outpatient and partial hospitalization program (PHP) caters to adults struggling with substance use disorders (SUD). The center provides services in both English and Spanish, with a dedicated focus on supporting Latino and African American populations. Care options include structured day treatment and outpatient services that allow clients to maintain their work, family, and community roles while actively engaging in their recovery journey. The program also accommodates individuals referred through legal channels or child welfare systems. Support for recovery is enhanced through a combination of evidence-based individual and group therapies, family counseling, psychiatric assessments, and the use of buprenorphine for those dealing with opioid dependence. Specialized gender-focused sessions and services for problem gambling address a range of complex issues. The team merges therapeutic counseling with recreational and therapeutic activities aimed at fostering empowerment and resilience. Each client receives personalized care that reinforces natural support systems while addressing the emotional, physical, and cultural aspects of addiction. A mentoring program led by peers encourages community engagement and pride in recovery. Clients are invited to participate in family support discussions, community service initiatives, and alcohol- and drug-free social gatherings that nurture spiritual development. Additional services encompass HIV/STD testing, job training opportunities, and advocacy efforts that amplify the voice of the recovery community. This holistic approach cultivates a sense of belonging, dignity, and hope, empowering individuals to find strength through helping others.
