About Retreat Behavioral Health | South Connecticut

Retreat at South Connecticut was founded with the intent to provide a tranquil and healing environment where individuals can receive authentic and holistic drug and alcohol treatment and co-occurring disorder treatment. As one of the leading residential treatment centers in CT, we’ve been helping individuals overcome substance use for years, with a trained staff of professionals on board who can help our patients forge a better life for themselves, regardless of where they are in the recovery process.

We offer comprehensive, personalized support to every single patient who comes in our doors, with traditional and holistic therapies that get to the root cause of drug and alcohol addiction.

What Our Patients Say About Us

My therapist was PHENOMENAL!

Whether you are a 1st time treatment/detox seeker or have relapsed and are searching for a new facility, this is your place. The staff are amazing and go above and beyond for the patients. This was my one and hopefully only experience, but I am incredibly grateful that I chose Retreat (New Haven). My therapist was PHENOMENAL! If you are willing to do the work, commit to yourself that YOU are worth the time & energy needed that it takes to truly recover, and remain sober then I highly recommend you give Retreat a try. It is a welcoming community and hopefully you will be as pleasantly surprised as I was about the services available, especially if you are a first responder or an active duty/veteran service member.

This is your break, this is your safe space.

This place is life saving and life changing. I've been to a million different places and this is by far one of the nicest facilities I've ever gone. Between the staff, the nurses, the food, the cleanliness, just overall care - you get hope. You go there hopeless and leave with not only knowledge, skills, and ability, but tools and a plan. There's many places that don't treat you as human beings, but at Retreat you are treated with Grace, respect, understanding, and as an individual. The majority of the staff do their best to not only make sure you're comfortable but go beyond that and make sure you get a sense of "yourself" again. The nursing staff is BEYOND amazing, I can not express how wonderful they are, and truth be told, with what they deal with, they are so phenomenal. They do their best to make sure you are always comfortable, which is something you don't get anywhere else. 10/10 I would send anyone looking for mental health/behavioral health, addiction treatment, or whatever - this, this is your place. This is your break, this is your safe space.

Staff was very helpful and patient. I’ve been to multiple programs similar to this one and have never seen such a clean building let alone dealt with people that work there that actually act like they care would definitely recommend over any other place in Connecticut from my personal experience.

I love this place. I came here 2 years ago for one addiction, Unfortunately I replaced it with different one, but I knew I HAD to return. It's like a resort. They take complete care of you. COMPLETE CARE so that patients like myself could focus totally on our recovery. Everyone in there, like I was, have a chance to press 'reset' on our lives. They also teach you that once I'm out of here, they provided all the tools for me to stay sober.... now it's up to me to apply them. And don't let me get started on their kitchen & housekeeping staff. I asked their head chef for specific dish and if they made it? He replied, "No, but let me see what I can do," This was on a Tuesday. THAT Friday we were ALL eating that dish. (Can't say what it was.......just in case) Their servers were always nice and polite to me. Their housekeeping staff were always smiling at us. I can go on & on. I would give it 10☆ if they had that option. I went in 'Lost', walked out going 'Back Home'. I miss them. I made friends there that became family. Thank you guys!!!! ALEX GHIRLANDA
