Accepted Insurance

The Lighthouse works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

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.

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

heart-hands iconIntervention Services
Intervention services helps family or friends of addicts stage an intervention, which is a meeting in which loved ones share their concerns and attempt to get an addict into treatment. Professional intervention specialists can help loved ones organize, gather, and communicate with an addict. They can guide intervention participants in describing the damage the addict's behavior is causing and that outside help is necessary to address the addiction. The ideal outcome of an intervention is for the addict to go to rehab and get the help they need.
sober-living iconSober Living Homes
Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.
12-step icon12-Step
12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).
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).
inpatient iconInpatient
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

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.

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.

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

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.

Clinical Services

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

Fitness therapy blends exercise with psychotherapy for a fun, inspiring, and effective way of treating addiction and other issues. By incorporating movement into counseling sessions, clients become more empowered, motivated, and goal-oriented, all while strengthening their bodies and becoming more flexible. Fitness Therapy is usually used to complement a course of treatment (inpatient or outpatient) to make it even more successful. Increasing the connection between a patient’s mind and body helps both with healing as well as in creating new, healthy habits.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

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. At the Lighthouse, they have a Recovery 365 coaching program provided by first-rate, extensively trained Sober Coaches.

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

Trey what you are doing is so valuable! If my first wife and my granddaughter had had the opportunity to be in The Lighthouse they might be with us today! Just being in treatment for one month does not get the job done... You are doing the job by helping them find long term recovery by providing The Lighthouse and your facilities.

As a physician that specializes in Addiction Medicine, it is critically important to have a team of non-clinician recovery professionals that you can trust. The Lighthouse is exactly that: a dignified, collaborative, empathic, mission-driven and highly-professional team that is truly committed to partnering with individuals and families in their recovery. For example, whether it was working late into the night with a client and their family to facilitate entrance into a detox, or accompanying an executive in a high-stakes situation, I have routinely seen Lighthouse recovery coaches go to extraordinary lengths to provide the individualized and high-touch support that is often paramount in early recovery.

I recommend The Lighthouse to anyone I can. The new sober living residence for women is AMAZING & beautiful. Newly furnished with all the amenities - including a tennis court & swimming pool. Back in the day when I was getting sober, I’d have gone to the women’s sober house in a heartbeat. It’s hard to find upscale sober living for women - and this is it! I eagerly visit the women when I can and love the program. - Heather Sinclair

When I first got sober, I was really shy within my sobriety. I knew I wanted to be sober, but reaching out to others for help was tough for me. There are many amazing opportunities the Lighthouse can provide a person new to sobriety, but the one that stands out the most for me is the support and fellowship within the Lighthouse programs. I see many new to sobriety come into the Lighthouse like me, shy and not sure how to ask for help. The other residents and Lighthouse staff completely embrace and help each other to face sobriety together. The Residents and Recovery 365 clients have the opportunity daily to ask the staff and numerous men and women from the local recovery programs, how they got sober and what worked for them. It's amazing to see how quickly the Residents/Recovery 365 clients immerse themselves within the Lighthouse sober community. I see sobriety take hold within the clarity of their eyes, their laughs and their ability to now be present/clear minded for their families. It all started for me with over coming the fear of saying "I need help. If you want to build a strong foundation in sobriety, I highly recommend The Lighthouse as a great place to start.

If only this place had existed when I got out of rehab and was rebuilding my life, career and shattered home front, my recovery would have had a better foundation early on! And perhaps, things would have been easier for me? My reentry into life smoother, perhaps? Thankfully, 6 years later I’m still sober. And when I visit The Lighthouse regularly, to meet with these men who currently are where I was early on in recovery, I can see from the vast support, strong fellowship and frequent meetings, that these guys have the best possible chance at living sober, successful, and happy lives. The place is magical! And beautiful to boot.
