About Retreat Behavioral Health
Retreat Behavioral Health was an adult addiction and behavioral health treatment facility located at 915 Ella T Grasso Blvd in New Haven, Connecticut.
The program specialized in substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions, offering trauma informed care through a blend of clinical and holistic therapies. Its mission centered on treating the whole person, pairing evidence based treatment with experiential healing in a welcoming residential setting.
Medical Detox
Retreat Behavioral Health's core focus was residential addiction treatment paired with medical detox for adults navigating substance use and dual diagnosis concerns.
Stays typically ran 30 days or longer within an 80 bed facility featuring separate men's and women's wings, private or shared bedrooms, and access to gardens, walking trails and lounge spaces.
Clinical care combined group counseling and private psychotherapy, psychiatry and CBT, interpersonal therapy and 12 step oriented programming, with medication assisted treatment available when appropriate.
Holistic Therapies
A defining feature of Retreat was its wide ranging holistic menu designed to complement traditional therapy. Offerings included yoga and equine assisted therapy, art and music therapy, gardening, massage therapy and culinary classes, all delivered within a trauma informed framework.
This integrative approach supported healing for grief and loss, chronic relapse, self harm and pain management alongside core addiction care.
Next Steps

Retreat accepted private insurance including Aetna and Cigna, Humana and Carelon Behavioral Health, along with self pay options.
