About APT Foundation Inc
APT Legion Clinic in New Haven provides care for people dealing with substance use and related mental health challenges. Services include group, individual, and family therapy, medication management, and medication-assisted treatment (MAT). The clinic also runs an intensive outpatient program (IOP) that typically takes place three days each week and features at least 9 hours of group therapy, plus individual counseling and psychiatric consultation during that time.
Treatment at APT Legion Clinic is trauma-informed and grounded in clinical evidence. Programs may include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and motivational interviewing (MI). Clients can join daily groups covering topics such as trauma, stress, job and life skills, relapse prevention, psychoeducation, goal planning, expressive arts, tai chi, meditation, mindfulness, and other supportive offerings. MAT is available using medications such as methadone and buprenorphine, with psychiatrists overseeing prescriptions and helping with medication adjustments as needed. When required, sessions can be completed through telehealth, including during public health emergencies. The clinic also offers family and couples therapy to support clients in working toward their relationship goals.
