Turnbridge Westport is the current successor to Clearpoint Recovery Center at 162 Kings Highway North in Westport, Connecticut. Turnbridge acquired Clearpoint in 2020 and renamed the program Turnbridge Westport, while retaining the Westport outpatient location. The current official site describes the center as a comprehensive outpatient addiction and mental health provider offering standard outpatient and intensive outpatient care for adolescents and adults. People seeking help for problematic drinking can receive structured treatment while continuing to live at home, attend school, or work when outpatient care is clinically appropriate.
Outpatient and Intensive Outpatient Care
Turnbridge’s Westport IOP provides at least three hours of treatment per day, three days per week, with some clients receiving up to 15 hours of care weekly. Treatment can include individual therapy, group therapy, family support, psychiatry, medication management, and aftercare planning. For someone addressing alcohol addiction, this schedule provides more structure than occasional counseling while preserving day-to-day responsibilities. The program also uses a gradual step-down model so the amount of support can change as recovery becomes more stable.
Evidence-Based Therapy and Dual Diagnosis
Current Turnbridge outpatient services include cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, EMDR, group therapy, individual therapy, and psychiatric care. The center treats substance use together with co-occurring mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, trauma, and other psychiatric disorders. This integrated approach can be important when alcohol has become a coping strategy for emotional symptoms or when mental health problems increase the risk of returning to alcohol after a period of improvement.
Medication and Alcohol Treatment
Turnbridge’s addiction information identifies naltrexone and Antabuse as medications that may be used in treatment for alcohol dependence. Medication decisions require medical assessment and are only one part of a broader recovery plan. Someone seeking alcohol treatment should discuss current drinking, previous withdrawal, medications, other substance use, and medical history so the treatment team can determine whether outpatient care is safe and whether medication is appropriate.
When Detoxification Should Come First
The Westport center is outpatient treatment, not a 24-hour medical alcohol detox unit. Turnbridge states that outpatient care is generally intended for people who are medically stable, have completed detoxification when needed, or do not have active physical dependence requiring continuous monitoring. A person with previous alcohol withdrawal seizures, delirium, or serious medical instability should disclose that history before stopping alcohol abruptly.
Current Contact and Insurance
The verified address remains 162 Kings Highway North, Westport, CT 06880. Turnbridge’s current Westport page directs people seeking a comprehensive alcohol or drug evaluation to 877-575-0350. The outpatient program is in network with Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield and Optum and states that it can work with most major insurance companies. People seeking rehab for drinking problems should confirm benefits, authorization requirements, outpatient versus IOP placement, and any personal financial responsibility before beginning care.
