About The Village for Families & Children, Inc.

The Village is a mental health and support center in Hartford, Connecticut that works mostly with kids, teens and families. They can help youth with drug or alcohol addiction as well as families that are affected by addiction.

They offer outpatient therapy including individual, group and family sessions as well as specialized approaches like trauma therapy and dual diagnosis treatment. And I like that they also use experiential therapies like art, music and role playing to help the clients process emotions in a less traditional setting.

Age Appropriate Treatment for Youth

This outpatient clinic specializes in helping kids with serious emotional or behavioral issues, transitional age youth, and families dealing with PTSD or military related challenges. The place has been around for a long time and operates out of a historic campus designed to feel more like home than a traditional clinic.

Mixed Reviews from Clients

When I looked back at feedback from families and clients, they were mixed. Some people really appreciate the staff and the environment, while others mention issues like long wait times or concerns about how the facility is managed. A few clinicians have said they feel supported professionally, but also point out that high caseloads can be a challenge.

This facility takes Medicaid, private insurance, and some state-funded programs. If you're paying out of pocket, they offer self pay options too.

Recreational Amenities Designed with Kids in Mind

The campus has a renovated gym with new basketball hoops, updated floors, and murals meant to motivate kids. The whole layout is meant to feel safe and comforting, especially for younger clients.

Nearby spots include Elizabeth Park, which is quiet and good for clearing your head, as well as the University of Hartford just a few minutes away. There’s also Blue Back Square in West Hartford if clients want to grab food or walk around outside of session.

Private Rehab

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.

Private Rooms

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.

Addiction Treatment Programs

Teen & Adolescent Program

If you are looking for a young adult program in Connecticut, many options are available. Programs include inpatient, partial hospitalization programs (PHP), intensive outpatient programs (IOP), outpatient, aftercare, and dual diagnosis.

Adult Program

For those who have a substance use disorder, an adult program in Connecticut offers crucial support. Designed to treat individuals 18 and older, these rehab programs help adults learn how to live their lives free from dependence on substances.

Alcoholism

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.

Men's Rehab

Adults who attend men’s rehab in Connecticut have the opportunity to connect with other men who are struggling with similar addiction issues. This is important for recovery, as men are often more comfortable talking about their struggles with other men.

Women's Rehab

Women often find it easier to work through their addiction issues in women’s rehab in Connecticut. Surrounded by other women who understand their struggles, they can feel free to share openly and find support.

Opioid Treatment

When you attend opioid rehab in Connecticut, you’re provided with the tools that are necessary to break free from opioid addiction. Treatment offers accountability, structure, and a sense of community. Methods typically include medication assisted treatment, individual therapy, and group counseling.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

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.

Drug Rehab

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.

Rational Behavior Therapy (RBT)

Rational emotive behavioral therapy in Connecticut is a commonly used substance use treatment method. This treatment can be applied in individual, family, and group therapy settings. It helps participants recognize triggers and unhealthy thinking patterns and create coping mechanisms to maintain sobriety.

Levels of Care

Outpatient Rehab

Many individuals turn to outpatient rehab in Connecticut after they complete an inpatient program. This treatment is less intensive and usually involves attending several counseling sessions per week and attending a support group such as NA or AA. Outpatient rehab may be short or long-term, depending on the needs of the individual.

Dual Diagnosis & Mental Health

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.

Inpatient Rehab

Inpatient drug rehab in Connecticut is the most intensive level of care for addiction treatment. Upon admission, they engage in extensive psychotherapy, receive recovery-focused life skills training, and participate in evidence-based complementary therapies, such as meditation, massage, acupuncture, and/or animal, creative arts, recreational, and experiential therapy.

Detox & MAT

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.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a type of outpatient treatment program in Connecticut that combines the benefits of an inpatient program with those of an outpatient program. While in a PHP, you spend several hours multiple times a week undergoing treatment for drug or alcohol addiction, then you can return home.
