Fair Haven Community Healthcare is an outpatient center in New Haven that brings addiction care and mental health care together under one plan. Clinicians look at the whole picture, meaning substance use, emotional health and past trauma, and then put together a course of care matched to each person's situation rather than a single template applied to everyone. Connecticut rehab centers like this one often combine addiction and mental health services in a single outpatient setting.
The center describes its work as coordinated, which in practice means services are arranged around one plan you help shape with your clinician. Alongside reducing substance use, the focus lands on building practical skills for daily life and on steady relationships with staff and peers. For people comparing drug rehab options in Connecticut, an outpatient center can fit when housing and support at home are stable.
For anyone comparing options across the state, this is a community health setting rather than a residential campus. People live at home or elsewhere in the community and come in for scheduled visits. That structure suits someone who has stable housing and a support network, and it is worth asking about directly if your situation is different. Fair Haven Community Healthcare New Haven serves a mix of ages and backgrounds through its outpatient programs.

Fair Haven Community Healthcare provides outpatient care, so visits are scheduled and the person returns home between sessions rather than staying overnight. Treatment planning starts with an assessment, and the plan is matched to the diagnosis and needs identified in that assessment. The center offers both individual counseling and group therapy as core parts of its outpatient addiction treatment. If your assessment points to a need for daily structure, then ask whether the center can coordinate with a more intensive program nearby.
Therapy here covers a lot of ground: individual counseling, cognitive behavioral therapy family therapy and dialectical behavior therapy group therapy. The center also lists life skills work, nutrition counseling, online therapy, and therapy focused on trauma. A typical program runs 5 days, and it's worth asking what that looks like against your own schedule before you start. For those seeking dual diagnosis treatment in Connecticut, co-occurring disorders are among the conditions the center treats.

Help
Is Fair Haven Community Healthcare New Haven an inpatient or outpatient program?
This is outpatient care. The SAMHSA listing shows only outpatient services, with a common program length of 5 days, so you come to scheduled visits and go home afterward. If you need overnight monitoring, especially for alcohol or benzodiazepine withdrawal, ask the center to refer you to a program that offers those services, since withdrawal from those substances can turn dangerous quickly.
Does Fair Haven Community Healthcare New Haven accept Medicaid?
The listing does not confirm Medicaid, though it does show cash pay rates. Of the 156 SAMHSA-listed Connecticut facilities, many take Medicaid, so it is worth asking. Call the center with your plan details and have them verify coverage before you schedule, since network participation changes and the listing may not reflect current contracts.
What therapies does this New Haven center offer?
Among the services the center lists are individual counseling, cognitive behavioral therapy family therapy and dialectical behavior therapy group therapy. Life skills, nutrition counseling, online therapy, and trauma-specific therapy are also listed. Ask which of them suit your assessment, since the plan is built around your diagnosis and needs instead of being handed out identically to each person who comes in.
Is this center able to treat co-occurring disorders?
Yes. The conditions treated include co-occurring disorders, as well as trauma, post traumatic stress disorder, anger, chronic pain management, gambling, and perinatal mental health. When facing a mental health diagnosis alongside a substance use disorder, inquire how the program treats them together in one plan rather than separately.
How do people afford to go to rehab in Connecticut?
What you pay hinges on the level of care and on your coverage. The center lists cash pay rates, and staff can walk you through the cost of a visit before you commit to anything. The listing doesn't spell out insurance details, so call and ask them to check your plan directly. At no cost, the helpline can also help you compare which other Connecticut programs take Medicaid and other plans.
