Bridges Healthcare Addiction Recovery Services in Milford
Bridges Healthcare operates its main Milford behavioral health campus at 941-949 Bridgeport Avenue, Milford, Connecticut. Bridges is a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic that provides mental health and addiction recovery services, and its current Addiction Recovery program specifically serves people struggling with alcohol, opioids, and other substance use disorders. Adults looking for recovery services can access outpatient clinical care, intensive outpatient programming, recovery support, and related behavioral health services without the location being misrepresented as a residential alcohol rehab or inpatient detoxification facility.
Outpatient Alcohol and Substance Use Treatment
Bridges’ current outpatient substance use program provides support and education for problems related to alcohol and drug use. Individual and group treatment can help clients examine patterns of use, triggers, motivation, coping strategies, and the consequences substance use has had on health, work, relationships, and daily functioning. Bridges also treats co-occurring mental health concerns, which is important when alcohol misuse occurs alongside depression, anxiety, trauma, or another psychiatric condition. Care can be coordinated within the same behavioral health organization rather than forcing clients to separate addiction and mental health treatment.
Intensive Outpatient Program
The Bridges Intensive Outpatient Program is designed for people whose needs cannot be met through weekly individual or group counseling alone. The organization expanded its IOP offerings to improve access for people facing substance use and mental health challenges. For someone in recovery, IOP can provide a more structured schedule while allowing the person to continue living in the community. Current Bridges materials also identify relapse prevention and recovery support as important parts of its addiction services.
Medication Services and Open Access
Bridges offers medication-assisted treatment, but its published clinic-based MAT program is specifically focused on opioid use disorder and should not be described as an alcohol medication program. People seeking alcohol addiction treatment can still receive assessment, counseling, IOP, psychiatric services, and other appropriate supports. Bridges also introduced adult Open Access at its Milford location, allowing adults to begin intake for mental health or substance use concerns without a scheduled appointment during designated hours. Anyone at risk for dangerous alcohol withdrawal should disclose that history so staff can determine whether a medical detox setting is needed first.
Insurance, Sliding Fees, and Contact Information
The current Milford address is 941-949 Bridgeport Avenue, Milford, CT 06460, and the 24/7 help line is 203-878-6365. Bridges states that it accepts most insurance plans, including HUSKY/Medicaid and Medicare, and it maintains a sliding-fee discount program for uninsured or underinsured clients who qualify. Before beginning alcohol rehab services, callers should verify current insurance participation, expected costs, Open Access hours, and whether standard outpatient or intensive outpatient alcohol treatment best matches their needs. This update also corrects the unrelated 860 phone number that appeared in the old directory record.
