What Our Patients Say About Us
Reviews
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.
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 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.
I’d like to Thank the entire staff at Retreat for the amazing care I received during my stay. My first call was answered and within an hour I was picked by their transportation. Once I arrived I welcomed by staff. My Therapist (CV) was the best he recognized my needs along with his team of therapist who helped me get through my anxiety, depression and my substance abuse. I’m truly grateful for those who also crossed that path during my time at Retreat and looking forward with aftercare with these folks.
