Conditions and Issues Treated
Alcoholism
Alcoholism is one of the most common addictions in Connecticut. Alcohol addiction (often referred to as alcoholism or alcohol use disorder) is characterized by a deep craving for alcohol and the inability to quit drinking regardless of any adverse effects. Alcohol use disorder ensues when the chemical changes from long-term alcohol use drive the brain to acclimate to normal functions creating a dependency. Many people who struggle with alcoholism find it challenging to quit without the help of a treatment facility such as APT Foundation. The alcoholism treatment at APT Foundation in West Haven, Connecticut is designed to give you the support you need to quit drinking once and for all.
Drug Addiction
Drug addiction is a chronic disease characterized by a physical and psychological dependency on drugs. Drug addiction occurs when extensive drug use causes changes in a person’s brain chemistry, resulting in uncontrollable cravings to use regardless of the adverse effects. The only way to overcome drug addiction or other addiction disorders is to receive addiction treatment. APT Foundation in Connecticut offers many treatment options for those struggling with drug addiction. If you or someone you love is struggling with drug addiction, get help as soon as possible. Prolonged drug use can result in a destructive addiction cycle where you must continue using drugs to avoid distressing withdrawal symptoms. Regardless of your situation, help is available in Connecticut.
Opioid Addiction
Opioids/opiates are among the most addictive substances worldwide. Prescribed for various medical needs, opioids encompass a large class of prescription drugs such as morphine, oxycodone, and hydrocodone, and illegal substances such as heroin and opium. People who misuse opioids can develop an opioid addiction very quickly. Opioid addiction, also known as an opioid use disorder, is a condition in which someone compulsively seeks the drug. In West Haven, Connecticut, there are many treatment options to choose from for an opioid/opiate addiction. The most effective form of opioid addiction treatment is drug detox, followed by inpatient drug rehab. APT Foundation in West Haven, Connecticut offers opioid addiction treatment tailored to your unique needs and situation.
Substance Abuse
Substance abuse refers to the act of misusing drugs or alcohol. Substance abuse problems can refer to illicit drugs — such as heroin, cocaine, or methamphetamine — or legal drugs, such as alcohol or prescription medications. Substances frequently abused in West Haven, Connecticut include alcohol, marijuana, prescription drugs, methamphetamine, cocaine, opiates/opioids, hallucinogens, and more. The main difference between substance abuse and drug addiction is that individuals with substance abuse problems can quit or change their unhealthy habits. In contrast, addiction is a disease in which someone can’t just stop using when their addiction causes them harm. People engaged in substance abuse put themselves at risk for developing a substance use disorder, a severe mental health condition that can make it difficult for people to stop using drugs or alcohol on their own. APT Foundation in West Haven, Connecticut works to address substance abuse and help people to build fulfilling lives in recovery.

Levels of Care Offered at APT Foundation
Addiction Treatment
If you're dealing with a drug or alcohol addiction in Connecticut, there are many ways to get help. You can choose from programs that let you stay at the treatment center, or you can visit for treatment while living at home. There are also programs that focus on treating both addiction and mental health issues at the same time. Plus, you can join support groups that keep on giving help even after you finish a program.
At APT Foundation, we understand that everyone's journey to recovery is unique. That's why we create a plan that's just for you, based on what you need and what you're going through. Our goal is to help you tackle your addiction from all sides, and teach you how to stay healthy and free from addiction for a long time.
We offer lots of different ways to help you at APT Foundation in Connecticut. This includes talking one-on-one with a therapist or sharing your experiences in a group setting. These talks can play a big part in your recovery.
Aftercare
Aftercare programs help people stay on track after they finish addiction treatment. Think of going to treatment as the first big step towards getting better. Usually, this treatment lasts for a short time, from 30 to 180 days. But recovery takes much longer.
Here at APT Foundation in Connecticut, our aftercare programs are here to help when the main treatment is done. Once someone completes their treatment, they team up with our staff to make a plan for what comes next. This plan is all about keeping up with their recovery. Also, they can choose to keep getting help from us to stay strong in their journey to stay healthy and free from addiction.
Intensive Outpatient Program
At APT Foundation, we have a program called Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) in Connecticut. This program is for people who are dealing with problems from using drugs or who also have mental health issues. If you've been to a full-time drug rehab before, our IOP can give you extra help to stay on track.
When you join our IOP at APT Foundation, you'll come in for treatment a few times a week, for a few hours each time. It's a step up from our regular outpatient program because you'll spend more time with us. This program is great for people who want to get strong treatment but still live at home.
