They have a great program and most of the staff is great Dan the director is a great guy they have two couslors that are kind of rude but other then that it s a good program just know it s only 30 days for parole and court people and self refral is up to 6 months
Their methods are tried and true. Apt has provided a safe and secure environment for me to straighten out my life. They've provided all the space flexabbilities that I could NEVER in a million years found anywhere else.I am grateful for the staff and the overall whole Apt foundation approach to risk reduction. There isn't another clinic in CT that can even come close to Apt. Happy recovery you all.
It all depends on the person and how ready they are to get clean or not...the apt foundation offers a lot of resources for getting your life back on track but they're not going to j hand it to you, no one can do it for you, you have to do the footwork and be totally honest with them and with yourself..its a program designed to help individuals that are willing to actually help themselves...are there a lot of faults with the program? Absolutely! But that can be said about every program. As an addict it can be very easy to only look at and focus on the negative...it gives us something to blame and "justifies" our inability to quit...but when one changes their perspective and chooses to focus on the positives around them wonderful things start to happen. So the apt foundation can go either way...it can be a foot in the "right" direction for those who are ready to be honest with themselves and who are willing to do the work necessary to achieve and maintain a better lOR it can be j another "excuse" to not take responsibility or accountability for bettering yourself and your life.....so before listening to any of the reviews on here, positive or negative, take into consideration that said review depends largely on where the person who wrote it is in their recovery process and how ready they may or may not be to truly recover...with all that being said, I personally like the apt foundation...unlike other clinics I've been in they really try to work with you if you're willing to do the work...their harm reduction method I feel is much more beneficial than other clinics who will do a rapid detox if you test positive to marijuana...apt tests for it but could careless if it comes back positive or not...they are more concerned with people abusing drugs that are dangerous to use with methadone such as benzodiazepines, alcohol and other opiates...also, for the people who are ready and able to stay clean, apt is a fairly easy program to achieve "bottle privileges" at, and even offers two week bottle privileges to individuals who have proven they can be trusted with such responsibility....and even for those who are not yet ready to fully recover going to apt can still be beneficial and life saving by at least keeping them off the streets as much as they would be without it
Here is where I receive treatment with respect and compassion.
Here Is where I am changing my life!
Enough positive things just cannot be uttered about APT- especially the West Haven branch. The staff are simply awesome, their program is fairly administered and they are not sheep. While rules must be followed, they know life happens and they always work WITH me to find an equitable solution. They are professional, personable, compassionate and caring. The entire staff at the west haven branch should be commended and applauded for their consistently excellent client service.
The APT foundation is a harm reduction program and as such provides services to work around addiction. They are what most would consider "an easy program" and it is. Remember recovery isn't given to you by the program, you give yourself to the program to gain your recovery. If you're not willing to do whatever it is you have to do. It's not the programs fault.
With the assistance of the APT residential facility and the APT aftercare program I have maintained my recovery for 8 years and 5 months.
I could not be happier with the treatment I have recieved. But, in all honesty. I was desperate for change and was willing to do anything I had to to make it happen.
The choice is yours. Do you want it or not?
Great people good staff God bless amen brothers and sisters
Sorry for being so difficult at times.

After much thought
I knew that this was the best program for me.
The people there are amazing one is more helpful than the next.
They couldn't have been any kinder or considerate of my feelings.
I truly suggest that if you're Life is being controlled by the medications you are taking.
Stop by this most informative Group of people.
Life will only get better. I promise
Doctor Natalie is the best. She was amazing she s so friendly she sits down and talks to you like she s your bestie and actually helps you unlike some other. I will request to see her from now on. I felt very comfortable with her.
Went to the apt foundation after leaving the root center to continue my maintenance program and couldn t have been happier with the services from the very beginning. I got there at 11 and they took me right in abs got through the in take process fairly quickly. The nurses were great, the dr was very knowledgeable and also gave me second options as I told her I was looking to get off methadone. I couldn t of asked for a better first time there and looking forward to meeting my counselor and hopefully living maintence free in the next year!
