Liberation Programs Main Street Clinic Stamford has offered addiction treatment since 1971, combining residential care with an intensive outpatient program. The clinic sits downtown near Route 1 and can house up to 64 people in its residential setting at a time. Sessions usually take place at the office, but telehealth can be arranged when needed.
The team applies a harm reduction model, connecting with people wherever they are in the process of changing their substance use. Counseling and medication can therefore begin even if someone is not yet ready to quit altogether, and the aim is to reduce the chance of overdose. This center offers alcohol rehab in Connecticut, with medications including buprenorphine, naltrexone, or Suboxone that ease cravings and encourage continued participation in care, and Narcan (naloxone) is supplied so an overdose can be answered right away.
Inpatient care created for women who are pregnant or parenting rests on trauma-informed therapy. A mother can bring as many as two children, ages 0 to 10, and the Families in Recovery Program layers in life skills training plus peer support. Outside of treatment itself, the center offers prevention services to adults and young people, keeps recovery coaches on staff, and provides 18 housing units for those who need somewhere to live while in recovery.
Liberation programs main street clinic
This clinic provides detox, co-occurring mental health treatment alongside outpatient treatment as well as residential rehab, plus an intensive outpatient program (IOP) for people who do not require 24-hour housing. Among the 156 SAMHSA-listed addiction treatment centers in Connecticut, it offers a full continuum under one roof, from withdrawal management through outpatient counseling. Therapy choices include cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, family therapy, group counseling, life skills training and relapse prevention counseling.
Medication-assisted treatment forms a central piece of the program, using buprenorphine, naltrexone, or Suboxone to reduce cravings. For Stamford residents with opioid use disorder, medication-assisted treatment is available and can be combined with one-on-one counseling. Approaches are individualized and evidence-based, so the plan addresses both substance misuse and any accompanying mental health condition.
