The place has changed drastically (for the better) since APT took it over. Parole and Probation would not allow people to come here otherwise. Lots of Food, amenities, an outside smoking area, gym, cell phones allowed, Good staff etc etc. There's now full fencing with locked gates around the facility. It's amazing what there funding has done to the place now that new management is NOT stealing it. Which was the case yrs ago when it was called "Crossroads". If your new to the logistics of getting in here then ask ask ask questions. They don't freely tell you much of anything without asking. Possibly due to the high number of return clients. That's the only reason for 4 not 5 stars IMO.

Other Forms of Payment

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.
inpatient iconInpatient
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

Drug rehab in Connecticut provides the professional support that is often necessary to break free from drug dependency. With proper treatment, individuals can make changes that restore balance and health to their lives and achieve long-term recovery.

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Programs

Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

I wish I could give you A Big Zero with your Corrupted, Rude and Racist Lying You know what. This place was a very sad situation for many of us trying to do some recovery. Don t Ever Place A Person You love or who is struggling with addiction into this place. The staff is very Dirty to those who truly want to clean up. Don t Trust The Staff.

I stayed for3 months it was wonderful. They teach you great coping skills and most of the staff are very nice, helpful and comforting no matter what your situation and the counselors really do care especially Dan. I've been clean almost a year thank you Apt.

The Place SHOULD be closed Down!!!If you get food stamps, they take them. When I was there I witnessed a lot of racial tension. The counselors are often too busy to give the individual treatment required to overcome addiction. Majority of patients are CSSD, using Crossroads as a jail diversion program rather than a rehab. This means that most people I was around all day were still getting high. It is by no means a safe environment for those looking to stay clean. In the kitchen food safety is appalling. Clients assigned to work in the kitchen are given no training whatsoever in food safety. Staff is disorganized and often combative with each other. Groups are inconsistent and unorganized. This is not a place I would recommend to someone who is serious about getting clean and doing so in a safe organized environment.THIS WAS 4 YEARS AGO, WRITTEN BY COREY KING, KING COREY? ALL I CAN SAY IS NOTHING HAS CHANGED, MAYBE THE FACES. More than 50% of all people staying in halfway houses are there to avoid going to jail, that's MORE than half of the tenants, drug and alcohol addicted criminals using these so called sober houses as a place to go when you DON"T want to do your jail time. No one's buying it anymore!

I was at the rsd in Bridgeport, I have been to one or two places over the years and this I would have to say was the worst by far. The real problem was the complete lack of professionalism on all the staffs part. Mostly a guy named Danny who hates all white and Spanish clients, and is a very underhanded person who I believe but can not prove set up a few clients including myself after having a verbal argument with him.a few people had property broken and cell phones, and cigarettes go missing after having an issue with him and no one does anything about it. The head of the program Dan I another one of the problems at this program could care less about anything other then the money the program makes. He had proof that his workers were grime balls and setting people up and refused to look at it. The counselors Laura, and Jeff were the worst I have ever seen as they felt rehabilitation was one part learning to color and one part watching movies...... If you are forced here due to court or doc you should think twice you would be better off not being threatened daily to go back to jail or have a bad report for court just for asking for help getting the things you need to transition back into the community. This is bottom of the barrel treatment from a place that cares more about getting people on meth then they do about anything else.....apt is a legal drug dealer and offers all new clients to be put on meth no questions asked as soon as u walk in the door.... in short this place will do more to put you on meth then they will to help you off drugs, 3 new clinics in a few years they love people on meth, but don't ask to walk off it at this program it's not happening...... good luck and keep away from apts new venture

This place some staff member is rude, says racist comments towards the patients. I was on the phone with my son and one staff was being rude telling him to hang up. My son told him give him 2 minutes he was talking to me and his kids for Christmas. He got into an argument with my son and threaten to call the police on him for no reason. Why do they allow this type of nonsense from their staff. This place suppose to be a treatment center that helps with addiction issues among other things. They suppose to encourage the patients to focus and feel better about themselves. They need to reevaluate the staff and hire more reliable, respectable employees. They have to have patience they are dealing with people that want the help and change. I hope it gets better.
