About

About Stonington Institute

Stonington Institute is a substance use treatment facility located at 75 Swantown Hill Road in North Stonington, Connecticut, set on a 26-acre campus in New London County. The rural, campus-style setting operates as an unlocked therapeutic environment — a deliberate design choice that distinguishes it from more institutional programs. For individuals or families in Connecticut seeking medically supervised detox paired with longer-term residential treatment, Stonington Institute offers both under one roof.

The facility provides two core levels of care: medical detox and residential treatment. Medical detox is the clinical starting point for individuals whose withdrawal requires supervision, and Stonington’s residential program allows patients to continue treatment on the same campus after detox is complete. This continuity — from withdrawal management through residential care — means patients are not discharged and re-admitted elsewhere between critical phases of treatment.

Stonington Institute incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and the 12-step model into its treatment approach. The facility also addresses co-occurring disorders and trauma or PTSD alongside substance use, which is relevant for patients whose mental health conditions are intertwined with addiction. Recreational and wellness activities on the campus include yoga, volleyball, and martial arts training, and sober living is available as an aftercare option.

The institute serves a notably broad population: veterans, pregnant women, young adults ages 18 to 25, seniors, men, women, individuals with HIV/AIDS, those who are deaf or hard of hearing, and court-ordered clients. Payment options include Medicaid, state insurance, TRICARE, private insurance, and self-pay, making the program accessible across a range of financial situations. For Connecticut residents — or those willing to travel to New London County — Stonington Institute represents a clinically structured option that moves patients from detox through residential care in a single, rural setting.

  • Medical detox and residential treatment on the same 26-acre campus — no transfer required between withdrawal management and ongoing care
  • Unlocked, campus-style therapeutic environment in rural North Stonington, CT — a departure from institutional detox settings
  • Accepts TRICARE, making it a viable option for veterans and active-duty military seeking medically supervised detox
  • Serves a wide range of populations including pregnant women, veterans, court-ordered individuals, and those who are deaf or hard of hearing
  • Sober living available as an aftercare step, extending the continuum of care beyond residential discharge

Medical Detox and Residential Treatment in North Stonington, CT

Stonington Institute provides medical detox followed by residential treatment at a single location in North Stonington, Connecticut. For individuals facing withdrawal, starting the process at a facility that can also house them through residential care removes a logistical and clinical gap that many patients encounter when detox and rehab are at separate sites. The campus setting in New London County offers a degree of separation from everyday environments that can support early recovery.

The 26-acre campus operates as an unlocked, campus-style therapeutic environment. This structure reflects a philosophy that recovery is supported — not enforced — and allows patients to engage with programming in a setting that functions less like a locked unit and more like a therapeutic community. Sober living is also available on-site as an aftercare option for those completing residential treatment.

Who Stonington Institute Accepts

Stonington Institute serves a wide range of adults seeking medically supervised detox or residential treatment. The facility is equipped to work with veterans, pregnant women, young adults (18–25), seniors, men, women, individuals with HIV/AIDS, those who are deaf or hard of hearing, and court-ordered clients. This breadth of accepted populations reflects a clinical infrastructure capable of addressing varied needs alongside substance use treatment.

Payment is accepted through Medicaid, state insurance, TRICARE, private insurance, and self-pay. TRICARE eligibility is particularly significant for veterans and military families who may be comparing detox programs across Connecticut. Prospective patients or their families should contact the facility directly at (860) 445-3695 to confirm insurance coverage and current availability.

Treatment Approach: CBT, 12-Step, and Dual Diagnosis

The clinical framework at Stonington Institute includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and the 12-step model. CBT is a structured, goal-oriented therapy that addresses the thought patterns connected to substance use, while the 12-step model provides a peer-informed framework that many patients find useful during and after residential treatment.

The facility also treats co-occurring disorders and trauma or PTSD — conditions that frequently accompany substance use disorders and that, if left unaddressed, can undermine detox and residential outcomes. Recreational programming on the campus includes yoga, volleyball, and martial arts training, offering physical outlets that complement the clinical components of treatment.
