About this Facility

CASA Project Courage stands as a CARF-accredited addiction treatment rehab in Bridgeport, CT offering care to women and families. The center works to accommodate women offering transportation along with drop-in baby-sitting services.

At CASA Project Courage, the approach to treatment is both multi-faceted and individual-centric, addressing both addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions.

For those requiring immersive support, CASA’s residential treatment program offers a structured environment where clients can focus intently on their recovery. The program integrates therapeutic sessions, group activities, and life skills training, creating a nurturing setting for transformation.

Catering to individuals who need consistent therapeutic support but wish to remain in their home environment, the outpatient services at CASA strike a balance between flexibility and structure. Clients engage in regular sessions, blending therapy with daily life, ensuring continuity in their recovery journey.

At the forefront of CASA’s treatment methodology are evidence-based therapies. By employing proven therapeutic modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), the institution ensures that clients receive interventions grounded in scientific research and best practices.

Understanding that some individuals benefit from a combination of medication and therapy, CASA offers medication-assisted treatment (MAT). This approach involves the use of FDA-approved medications in tandem with counseling and behavioral therapies, enhancing the chances of successful, long-term recovery.

For those transitioning from treatment back to daily life, CASA’s supportive housing initiative provides a stable environment. This accommodation ensures that individuals have a secure place to live while they continue to build on the foundations of their recovery.

Treatment

Alcoholism

If the body experiences withdrawal symptoms in the absense of alcohol, they are considered alcohol dependent. This is one of the defining characteristics of alcoholism, also knosn as alcohol use disorder (AUD). If a person has reached this state, they typically need professional treatment to recover. Alcohol rehab in Connecticut can provide a safe, supervised detox to withdraw from alcohol, followed by inpatient or outpatient rehab, then a maintenance program.

Drug Addiction

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.

Dual Diagnosis

In Connecticut, dual-diagnosis addiction treatment recognizes the importance of addressing both mental health and substance use disorders in their specialized rehab programs, including outpatient, inpatient, medically assisted detox, and partial hospitalization. Using evidence-based therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and experiential therapies, addiction experts address substance use disorders and mental health challenges simultaneously, improving recovery outcomes and reducing the risk of relapse.

Mental Health and Substance Abuse

Connecticut’s dual-diagnosis rehabs typically provide comprehensive treatment for mental health and substance abuse. These specialized facilities integrate personalized treatment plans, psychiatric care, with therapeutic treatments like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), family counseling, and educational groups. Usually there are inpatient or outpatient programs depending upon whether you also need medically-supervised detox and have other support needs. A rehab’s clinical team can provide a comprehensive assessment to determine the appropriate level of care and medical support you may need.

Opioid Addiction

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Level of Care

Intensive Outpatient

Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) offer robust support for clients who are at an elevated risk of relapse, including those in early recovery and those in crisis. Clients in intensive outpatient treatment typically receive between nine and 20 hours of service per week, with the intensity and frequency of treatment decreasing as clients stabilize. The services provided in these programs vary, but generally include addiction counseling, recovery-focused life skills training, medication assisted treatment (MAT), and holistic therapies.

Outpatient

Outpatient rehabs offer a wide variety of therapeutic programs to address clients’ unique and evolving needs. They are generally most effective for clients who have completed inpatient treatment and are medically stable. Most outpatient treatment centers prioritize addiction counseling and recovery-focused life skills training. Many also provide medication assisted treatment (MAT) for clients in alcohol and opioid recovery. Evening, night, and weekend sessions are commonly offered to accommodate clients’ schedules.

Aftercare Support

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Clinical Services

Family Therapy

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.
