About The Ridge

The Ridge treats drug and alcohol addiction with personalized, evidence-based care. Their 51-acre property helps clients heal in peace, with a 4:1 staff-to-client ratio for attentive care. The Ridge offers residential treatment, a partial hospitalization program (PHP), an intensive outpatient program (IOP), outpatient care, and a 72-hour One-Bite (treatment to avoid formal disciplinary action by a medical board) assessment. They cater to professionals with a specialized tech-friendly professionals program for CEOs, lawyers, pilots, business owners, and the like. Clients begin their recovery process with a biopsychosocial assessment, physical evaluation, and addiction assessment. The Ridge then provides medically supervised detox and medication-assisted treatment (MAT) as needed. Their staff includes 2 addictionologists: a psychiatrist and medical doctor. The Ridge’s specialty therapists and counselors facilitate cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing techniques, and case management. After residential treatment, clients can attend a 52-week aftercare program with weekly day or night group therapy—always led by a masters-level clinician. The Ridge prioritizes comprehensive dual-diagnosis treatment. They include family and loved ones in the process, inviting them on site for educational lectures, therapy, and support groups. The Ridge treats mental health as it occurs with addiction, including disorders like depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and bipolar disorder. The Ridge offers multiple wellness therapies for whole-person care. Clients can enjoy acupuncture, 1.5 hours of indoor or outdoor fitness each day, music therapy, and yoga. Clients can also play volleyball, basketball, pickleball, and more at The Ridge. The Ridge also has a pool, sauna, walking trails, and a fully-stocked pond for fishing. Their chef creates 3 meals a day, catered to clients’ individual needs and preferences. After residential or outpatient treatment, The Ridge gives each client 12 months of aftercare, which includes weekly group therapy, alumni gatherings with guest speakers, and activities.

As a premier treatment facility in Hamden, Connecticut, The Ridge is committed to delivering exceptional care in a warm and healing environment. The center's evidence-based programs are continually refined to reflect the latest advances in addiction medicine and behavioral health.
