APT Foundation: Comprehensive Addiction Treatment and Recovery Services
The APT Foundation is a non-profit organization deeply committed to providing accessible and high-quality substance use disorder treatment, behavioral health care, and primary care services in the New Haven, CT area. Recognizing the urgent need for timely help, APT operates on an Open Access Model, which is designed to help patients rapidly enter treatment. Most individuals who seek assistance can receive an evaluation and begin their personalized treatment journey on the same day, regardless of their financial circumstances or ability to pay. This commitment to immediate access ensures that critical care is available when it is needed most.
Integrated Care Model for Holistic Recovery
APT Foundation employs an integrated approach to care, understanding that addiction rarely occurs in isolation. To address the full scope of a patient’s well-being, primary care and psychiatric services are fully integrated and embedded within the substance use treatment programs. This means patients have access to medical doctors and advanced practice nurses for wellness check-ups, chronic condition management, and minor medical problems, alongside mental health groups and psychiatric care to manage symptoms.
Diverse Treatment and Support Programs
The foundation offers a continuum of care tailored to individual needs:
- Substance Use Treatment: This includes immediate evaluations through the Open Access Model and structured programs like the Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), which provides several weeks of intensive support followed by ongoing non-intensive outpatient services.
- Residential Services: APT maintains accredited residential facilities. These essential programs support men, women, and women with small children, offering a structured environment where clients learn productive social interaction and skills without the use of addictive substances. The goal is to initiate or resume a productive relationship with society.
- Vocational Services: Recognizing the importance of stability in recovery, the vocational services support clients in setting and achieving personal goals for education and employment, centered around individual aspirations and unique life circumstances.
- Telehealth and Contact: The APT Foundation is also equipped to provide telehealth appointments. To inquire about services or schedule a visit, contact them at (203) 781-4600.
