About Connecticut Renaissance – Bridgeport Programs – LYNC

Since 1967, Connecticut Renaissance has delivered personalized behavioral healthcare and substance use treatment rooted in proven methods. They operate 11 facilities across Fairfield and New Haven counties, including one in Bridgeport, Connecticut. It hosts their specialized LYNC (Linking Youth to Natural Communities) program.

The facility supports adolescents and families with services such as therapy, life skills training and case management. Services can be paid for through Medicaid and commercial insurance. They also offer an income-based sliding fee scale for the uninsured.

Support for Court-Involved Youths

This program focuses on connecting court-involved youth clients to community services to support sustainable behavior change. Connecticut Renaissance coordinates with local agencies to help individuals access resources such as flex funds for basic needs, educational services and vocational services. It should be noted that referral to the LYNC program is only accepted from the local juvenile probation office.

Effective Therapeutic Methods For Healing

Therapists use proven methods like cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients break harmful patterns of behavior and build healthier coping strategies. LYNC also provides life skills training to prepare youth for real-world challenges and long-term success.

They may offer a referral to additional treatment when appropriate. I really like that LYNC provides bilingual services to make it easier for families to feel understood, supported and fully engaged in the recovery process.

Connecticut Renaissance is conveniently located steps away from downtown Bridgeport. Outside of your treatment sessions, clients can enjoy shows at the Downtown Cabaret Theatre or check out some of the local restaurants in the area.

Didn't have my friend sign any type of documents or have really any idea what this was and then made them use a breathalyzer and pee in front of someone all without their proper consent.Made them terrified and I urge others to avoid this place as they don't know how to treat people with respect.

Let me first say that the overall Mission of what CT renaissance stands for and trying to do to help others is amazing!Although With employees like Alex Wichek and Program Director Johanna Carenna it is no wonder the State has not renewed their contract. I would not refer anyone to CT Renaissance.

absolutely unethical. these ppl actually falsified a drug test, saying I tested positive for an insane of morphine. when I confronted the owner (lady in the main office), she tried to play off as you re an addict, come on now . But I know she knows what she did. Essentially, this places makes sure you go in there (at least a certain sample of ppl) and fabricate dirty results JUST so they can claim to the govt agencies paying them: look at the turn around, came in high af on morphine and now the persons clean. what a waste of space and truly it is sad that this lady swears she has scruples but pls beware, better yet, run!!!

Other Forms of Payment

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
aftercare iconAftercare Support
Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

Drug rehab in Connecticut provides the professional support that is often necessary to break free from drug dependency. With proper treatment, individuals can make changes that restore balance and health to their lives and achieve long-term recovery.

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

During rehab treatment, you and your therapist will identify any life skills that you need to develop. Your treatment will include methods to strengthen those skills so you can have a successful long term recovery. These skills include thinking skills, self awareness, and interpersonal skills.

She don't know She's my soul mate

They treat people who struggle with mental health like criminals, the people who work here aren't experienced enough to actually help people process what they have went through, gone through, or going through, and I repeat you do not have any consent with these people they will supervise you and watch you urinate, with or without you being comfortable what so ever. It was so dehumanizing when they did it to me. And that place just has a stench of depression and despair. And it's hard to relate with people there, and connect with people. They are all weird in there
