Frequently Asked Questions
Most rehab facilities in Connecticut accept private insurance, self-pay, and sometimes offer financing options. It's best to contact the admissions department of your chosen facility to verify your insurance benefits and discuss payment plans. State-funded options may also be available for those who qualify.
Inpatient (or residential) treatment requires you to live at the facility 24/7, providing an immersive, highly structured environment. Outpatient treatment (like PHP or IOP) allows you to live at home while attending scheduled therapy sessions, offering more flexibility to maintain work or family commitments.

When comparing alcohol and drug rehab centers in Connecticut, consider clinical quality, level of care, location, and practical factors like insurance coverage or out-of-pocket cost. Many facilities in Greenwich, Stamford, and New Haven offer a full continuum of care, while rehabs in the Litchfield Hills often emphasize smaller, retreat-style settings. Use this checklist when comparing rehab centers in Connecticut so you can match the level of care to your needs.
- Level of care: Does the program offer medical detox, residential treatment, and/or outpatient care?
- Co-occurring care: Can they treat co-existing mental health conditions like depression, PTSD, or anxiety?
- Insurance & payment: Are they in-network with your health plan or willing to verify benefits up front?
- Specialty programs: Look for tracks for teens, veterans, professionals, or gender-specific care if relevant.
