About Connecticut Counseling Centers Danbury
You’ll find Connecticut Counseling Centers’ Danbury location in Connecticut. It’s about 35 miles northwest of New Haven. You can access intensive and standard outpatient care, including medication assisted treatment (MAT). They welcome adults who’re battling addictions and various co-occurring disorders. They’re open on weekdays and Saturdays.
Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) for Opioid Use Disorders
One feature I noticed was that they provide MAT for opioid addiction. They prescribe FDA approved medications, such as buprenorphine, methadone, or naltrexone. These prescriptions can ease withdrawal symptoms and cravings that may hinder recovery.
You’ll benefit from an integrated approach, incorporating nursing, medical, psychiatric, and counseling services. Along with daily medication, you’ll receive medical assessments, co-occurring disorder treatment, HIV and Hepatitis C services, additional service referrals, and more.
BIRTH Program
What strikes me most is their BIRTH program. For more than 30 years, this specialized track has provided MAT for opioid addiction and additional services for expectant mothers.
You can access initial and ongoing prenatal evaluations, medical and psychosocial case management, education, postpartum care, and more. They help you provide a healthy foundation for you and your baby to promote long term recovery.
Inclusive Services
Another thing that caught my eye was their inclusive services. They provide separate men’s and women’s groups that focus on the unique experiences and impact of gender on addiction. Both tracks include referrals to specialties and urine testing if needed.
You can also participate in Spanish speaking groups hosted by their bilingual staff for members of the Hispanic and Latino communities. You’ll benefit from a supportive environment that respects and honors your background and needs.
Bridge to Recovery Program
Their Bridge to Recovery Program also stood out to me. This peer mentoring track offers ongoing support for clients recovering from opioid addiction. It’s specifically for those having a hard time with their programs. Peers use their lived experience to help guide your own recovery.

In outpatient therapy, you’ll attend therapy sessions several times each week while living at home. This is ideal if you have a strong support system and a lower risk of relapse. Outpatient treatment offers flexibility to maintain work, school or family obligations.

Dual diagnosis programs address substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions simultaneously. This integrated approach to care improves the likelihood of long term recovery and stability by addressing the root causes of addiction.
