About Turnbridge Westport
In downtown Westport, Turnbridge Westport is an addiction treatment center where licensed clinicians offer outpatient care and intensive outpatient care in Connecticut. This flexible care is often allows you to keep a job while you're in treatment.
Which teens can join?
I noted that your teen has to be 14 to 17 to join the Adolescent After School Intensive Outpatient Mental and Behavioral Healthcare Program. Care includes individual and group sessions and they're after school programs so you don't have to pull a teen out of class.
Can adults get care too?
I found that they have a clinician at Turnbridge who focuses on adults and families and specializes in addiction and trauma. She is trained in dialectical behavior therapy and in attachment based family therapy. She uses both in the outpatient and intensive outpatient groups she facilitates.
She also has training in cognitive behavioral therapy for depression. A second clinician is licensed as an alcohol and drug counselor with more than 10 years of experience in addiction work and in mental health.
Turnbridge's Westport center is the Fairfield County site in Connecticut.
Amenities
Yoga and meditation are great activities to support your recovery process during alcohol or drug rehab. These therapies have been around for centuries, and they are an effective way to improve well-being. Combining addiction treatment, yoga, and meditation can reduce cravings, improve sleep, relieve anxiety and depression, provide stress relief, promote relaxation, support emotional healing, and improve energy levels.
Treatment centers with a yoga studio offer a special form of holistic therapy during the recovery process. Yoga boosts mindfulness, a sense of calm, and healthy reflection during drug rehab via breathing exercises, stretching, and a progression of specific postures.
Wilderness rehab programs offer all the benefits of a traditional drug rehab, but with the added benefits of outdoor adventure. Venture out into the forest to learn new skills, explore the beauty of nature, and relieve stress. Engaging in wilderness activities is a great way to gain self-discovery and release negative emotions.
Art and music are mediums that connect with our feelings, making them a great recovery tool during addiction treatment. Studies show that combining art/music and drug rehab can have a greater therapeutic impact than drug rehab alone, as you’re able to access parts of your brain and body that you may not have access to during traditional talk therapy. Benefits of art/music therapy include lowering stress and anxiety, promoting healthy neurochemicals, and providing stress relief.
Residential drug rehab provides the comforts of home with the therapeutic support needed to successfully recover. Benefits of an inpatient program include increased safety, a higher success rate, and the time and distance given to focus on recovery. Residential drug rehabs are often the preferred method of treatment, as they can be tailored to meet specific needs, offer focused therapeutic care, and provide the necessary tools to sustain recovery.
In order to maintain a sense of autonomy, many private rehab facilities offer clients the ability to choose their own private rooms. The privacy and personal space ensure that the recovery process is as comfortable as possible.
Private drug rehab provides a comfortable, secure environment that allows you to focus on doing the work to get your life back on track. Benefits include a higher staff-to-client ratio, increased one-on-one time with therapists and healthcare providers, private rooms for clients, and customized forms of therapy.

Animal & equine therapy are evidence-based complementary therapies drawing on the emotional, psychological, and physiological benefits of regular contact with animals. Addiction recovery programs may incorporate the care of therapy dogs, cats, horses, and other animals into their treatment model to support clients’ development of recovery-focused life skills, including personal responsibility, time management, and empathy. Contact with therapy animals may reduce stress, enhance mood, decrease depression and anxiety, and increase clients’ self-esteem and sense of wellbeing.
In Connecticut, cognitive behavioral therapy helps individuals identify impulsive thoughts and feelings of fear and self-doubt. It equips them to manage these negative thoughts and feelings without the use of substances.
Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) is an integrative, community-based care strategy designed to address the needs of persons with severe and/or complex mental illness or behavioral disorders. ACT is typically provided by a multidisciplinary team of medical and mental health care providers, social workers, therapists, and other specialists, including addiction recovery professionals. These services are frequently provided in the home and community to clients in crisis, those who are clinically unstable, and those who are unable or unwilling to travel to a hospital or clinic for in-person treatment.
EMDR Therapy is a neurobiological treatment modality used to address trauma disorders and related mental and behavioral health challenges. Short for eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, EMDR is designed to help clients cope with distressing memories and emotions, including fear, sadness, and anger. EMDR may help clients in addiction recovery manage the psychological and emotional triggers that contribute to substance misuse and/or addiction relapse.
Alcohol rehab in Connecticut is not a one-size-fits-all solution. That’s why a variety of programs and treatment methods are available to meet you where you are. Through personalized treatment, alcohol rehab is designed to help you achieve sobriety and maintain long-term recovery from alcohol use disorder.
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.
Levels of Care
When you have a co-occurring disorder, you have both a substance abuse disorder and a mental health disorder. Dual diagnosis in Connecticut specializes in treating both conditions simultaneously, which is crucial for successful recovery.
IOP and outpatient groups are facilitated at Turnbridge. That's a primary clinician's work, and it uses DBT, ABFT, trauma care and spiritual wellness.
Once you’ve completed rehab treatment, you must learn how to manage stress and life challenges without relapsing. Aftercare rehab in Connecticut is designed to provide the support you need for this process. It may include financial, educational, career, social, and mental support. Many people remain in this care for a year after initial recovery.
Drug rehab in Connecticut typically starts with detox. This is the process of ridding your body of all addictive substances. This happens under supervision, so medical staff can treat withdrawal symptoms and help you through the process.
Licensed clinicians can see clients on an outpatient basis and also an intensive-outpatient basis. That's the clinical center in downtown Westport.
