About Liberation Programs Inc
Located in Stamford downtown near Route 1, Liberation Programs provides counseling for people in residential care and in an intensive outpatient (IOP) program. The residential setting can support up to 64 clients at a time. Most services are delivered at their office, though telehealth sessions can be arranged when needed.
Liberation Programs works with clients using a harm reduction model, meeting people where they are in the recovery process. Services include individual, group, and family counseling, along with medication options such as Buprenorphine, Naltrexone, or Suboxone to lessen cravings and support engagement in treatment. Even when a person is not prepared to stop using drugs completely, Liberation focuses on lowering overdose risk. They also supply Narcan (naloxone) to allow immediate response in the event of an overdose.
For pregnant and parenting women, Liberation Programs offers gender-specific inpatient care that addresses individual and family needs through trauma-informed therapy. Mothers may bring up to two children between the ages of 0 and 10. The Families in Recovery Program (FIRP) provides customized life skills training and peer support to help moms and children transition back to the community.
Beyond direct treatment, Liberation Programs provides prevention services aimed at helping adults and youth reduce the risk of future substance use and mental health challenges. The program employs recovery coaches, including staff with specialized experience working with clients who are pregnant or parenting. For those who require housing during recovery, they offer 18 units. Mobile outreach vans connect people with treatment referrals, help arrange medication, and share educational resources, and staff members also participate in community events and schools to provide education about substance use.
