What Our Patients Say About Us
Reviews
I loved my time at retreat. My counselor was amazing and really listened to me and lead a great group, as well as many of the other facilitators. The food was amazing. Overall I had a good 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.
Retreat in New Haven, CT is beyond amazing! Renny and the staff TRULY care and make a difference. Their support is genuine and endless. I will forever be grateful to them and they will always be my second family! I hope one day to work there with these amazing humans. I can't say enough great things about this place! My therapist Peter was beyond helpful, down to earth and immensley supportive. I found out in my stay that he was fairly new to the facility and you would have NEVER known that. I may have thrown in the towel if it were not for him. I am forever in debt to him and all of his help and genuineness!! For you or anyone in need of help do not hesitate. This is the place!
