About the Role

Natchaug Hospital is Eastern Connecticut’s leading provider for children, adolescents, and adults with mental illness and substance use addictions. We offer a variety of programs including inpatient and outpatient behavioral health, residential treatment for court-involved teenage girls, geriatric services, clinical day treatment schools, and chemical dependency services. Through our multi-site network of care, we constantly strive to meet our mission of helping people find their way while educating and empowering individuals to participate in their own care and recovery.

Program Summary

In the Adult Partial Hospitalization Treatment and Intensive Outpatient Treatment programs, we focus on creating a therapeutic environment where people can learn strategies for coping and improve their functioning. Each client’s treatment plan is centered on group therapy, allowing for sharing of experiences while gaining support and validation. These intensive, structured clinical treatment programs provide up to six hours of treatment a day, five days a week, for individuals who need comprehensive care for psychiatric and chemical dependency issues but do not require inpatient or residential hospitalization. The programs help prevent hospitalization and support transition to home after inpatient or residential treatment. Natchaug brings this clinical care closer to people’s homes by offering programs throughout Eastern Connecticut.
