About Project Courage – Bridgeport
Nicknamed “Park City” for over 1,300 acres of parks, Bridgeport, Connecticut is also home to Project Courage. They provide gender-specific addiction and co-occurring disorder treatment for adult parenting or pregnant women. You can access affordable, inclusive outpatient care to advance in recovery.
One great thing I noticed about them is they provide care, regardless of your ability to pay. They accept Medicare, Medicaid and Anthem Blue Cross. Even if you don’t have insurance you may be eligible for discounted fees with their sliding scale policy.
With outpatient care, you can live at home and attend treatment. They provide two outpatient options: a day or evening partial hospitalization program and standard care. You can access treatment best practices including trauma therapy, 12 step programming, group and individual therapy, psychiatric evaluations, medication assisted treatment and more.
What stands out most to me is their dedication to removing treatment barriers for women. They understand that daily responsibilities and lack of resources can interfere with recovery. You’ll benefit from childcare services, lunch and transportation to treatment. They also provide culturally competent services in English and Spanish. You can access empathetic care in an inviting, diverse environment.
Another notable feature that caught my eye was their auricular acupuncture approach. This method can assist with detox and treatment by stimulating your endorphins and helping your body release toxins from substances. I think this is a wonderful alternative if you don’t want to include medications in your recovery journey.
Lastly, I think their STD services are fantastic. Injecting substances can expose you to HIV and other diseases. They provide testing so you understand your status and can take precautions to stay safe. You can also access counseling to navigate prevention strategies and make informed decisions for your health.
