SCADD’s Braxton House is the organization’s current low-intensity residential transitional treatment program for men in New London. Older directory data tied a SCADD men’s program to 1000 Bank Street, but that address is no longer listed among SCADD’s current treatment locations. SCADD now names Braxton House as its New London transitional program for men, and Connecticut’s DMHAS Addiction Services Availability system lists Braxton House at 40 Coit Street. For men continuing recovery from alcohol or other substance use disorders, the program provides structured residential support while clients work toward greater independence.
Transitional Residential Care for Men
Braxton House is classified by DMHAS as a Level 3.1 halfway house/transitional living service. SCADD describes this level of care as an opportunity for residents to strengthen recovery skills, practice relapse prevention, build confidence, and take increasing responsibility for daily life. A man recovering from alcohol addiction may benefit from the program after medical stabilization or a more intensive residential phase when he still needs structure but is ready to focus more heavily on community reintegration.
Employment and Community Reintegration
SCADD’s transitional model encourages residents to seek employment and participate in educational, vocational, family, and social life. Treatment includes individualized planning, group and individual counseling, case coordination, peer support, and involvement with community recovery meetings. These supports can help men identify alcohol triggers, develop routines that reduce relapse risk, repair relationships, and create a realistic plan for housing, work, healthcare, and continued treatment after leaving the residence.
Integrated Behavioral Health Support
SCADD states that its programs screen for both substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions and use trauma-informed practices. Medication-assisted treatment is available throughout the organization and may support recovery from alcohol when a clinician determines that medication is appropriate. Case coordination can also connect residents with primary care, mental health providers, and recovery coaches so alcohol treatment is not separated from other medical or behavioral health needs.
Detox Before Transitional Care
Braxton House is transitional residential care, not medically monitored withdrawal management. Men who are still at risk for dangerous alcohol withdrawal, including those with previous seizures, delirium, or serious medical complications, should be assessed for detoxification before entering this level of care. SCADD’s William M. Walsh Recovery Center provides the organization’s dedicated withdrawal-management service in New London.
Braxton House Admission Details
The verified current address is 40 Coit Street, New London, CT 06320, and DMHAS lists 860-447-1717 as the program phone.

SCADD’s financial information also describes insurance billing, copays and deductibles, grant-based options, and individualized payment plans for people without insurance. Men seeking alcohol rehab should call to confirm eligibility, bed availability, referral requirements, insurance authorization, and expected costs before planning an admission.
