About Chemical Abuse Services Agency - Proyecto Nueva Vida
Located just minutes from downtown Bridgeport and easy to reach via I-95, the outpatient and day treatment program (PHP) supports adults dealing with substance use disorder (SUD). Services are offered in both English and Spanish, with particular attention to Latino and African American communities. The center provides structured day treatment and outpatient care, helping clients maintain work, family, and community responsibilities while they pursue recovery. It also accepts people referred by the court system or through child welfare.
Treatment is grounded in evidence-based individual and group therapy, family counseling, psychiatric evaluations, and buprenorphine treatment for opioid addiction. To meet varied needs, the program includes gender-specific groups and problem gambling services. The care team combines therapeutic counseling with recreational and experiential activities that build confidence, empowerment, and resilience. Plans are tailored to strengthen each person’s natural support systems while addressing the emotional, physical, and cultural aspects of addiction.
A peer mentorship initiative encourages community connection and pride in recovery. Clients can participate in family support discussions, community service activities, and substance-free social events focused on spiritual growth. Additional support includes HIV/STD testing, workforce and vocational referrals, and advocacy that amplifies the recovery community’s voice. Overall, this model promotes belonging, dignity, and hope, helping individuals grow stronger by supporting others.
