Drug & Alcohol Rehab in New Milford, CT143 West St, Suite V — the heart of Litchfield County
Lantana Recovery's Connecticut campus offers PHP, IOP, standard outpatient, and sober living with DBT-based programming that's rare in New England — serious clinical structure and a real recovery community. Also serving Charleston, SC.
Start wherever you are. A 10–15 minute clinical pre-assessment — based on ASAM criteria — determines the right level of care for you, so you're never guessing at what you need.
Flagship Program
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
Our most structured level of care: full clinical days, Monday through Saturday, without the lockdown of a 24/7 facility. In New Milford, PHP runs 9 AM – 3 PM on a DBT-based curriculum — pair it with Lantana Living sober housing for a residential-style experience grounded in real life.
Dedicated three-person treatment team from day one
DBT-based group programming, every clinical day
Psychiatric evaluation within your first 48 hours*
Focused group sessions led by licensed clinicians — process work first, skills and education second. A step down from PHP that keeps room for work and family.
Medically supervised withdrawal management on an outpatient basis in New Milford — meet with our medical provider early for a personal detox plan, with MAT available where appropriate.
A lighter-touch continuing care option for clients stepping down from IOP — keep momentum, stay connected to your therapist and community. Offered right here in Connecticut.
Certified recovery residences with Lantana's own clinical and peer support staff embedded in the house — not just a house manager. Optional, and ideal if you're traveling to us for treatment.
If you need a level of care we don't provide — like inpatient detox — we coordinate concierge placement at a trusted partner facility, then welcome you back to Lantana to continue your recovery. We handle it all from your very first call.
Addiction isn't just biology, environment, or behavior — it's all three. That's why every PHP client gets a dedicated three-tiered treatment team from day one, something you'll rarely find at the outpatient level of care.
01
Medical Provider
Board-Certified Psychiatric NP
Untangles the biological side of addiction — full psychiatric evaluation, medication management, MAT/MOUD support, and co-occurring mental health care. Every client is seen on the front end.
02
Primary Therapist
Licensed Clinician · Weekly 1-on-1
Leads the behavioral and psychiatric work with at least one 45–60 minute individual session every week — and brings your chosen family members into the process when you're ready.
03
Recovery Manager
Case Manager + Peer Support
Handles real life while you focus on recovery: FMLA and employment coordination, finances, legal matters, life skills, discharge planning — with the lived experience of someone who's been there.
Seen fast, supported early. Our standard of practice is a psychiatric evaluation within your first 48 hours of programming — a standard we meet roughly 90% of the time. You'll also meet a care continuum coordinator who guides your intake on day one and plans your aftercare before you leave.
Why Lantana New Milford
Boutique care. Real community. Proven structure.
Built for working adults across Western Connecticut who need serious clinical support without stepping away from their lives — and a recovery community that doesn't end at discharge.
DBT-based programming, rare in New England
Our New Milford curriculum is built on Dialectical Behavior Therapy — emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills woven into every clinical day.
A classic New England downtown
Recovery rooted in a real community — 143 West St sits in the heart of New Milford, close to Danbury, Litchfield County, and all of Western Connecticut.
Community that outlasts treatment
The most consistent theme in our reviews: clients leave with lifelong friendships, an alumni network, and a community that keeps showing up long after the program ends.
Evidence-based, measured weekly
CBT- and DBT-informed care with measurement-based outcomes: PHQ-9 and GAD-7 assessments every single week, so your team adjusts your plan based on data — not guesswork.
Structure that rewards progress
Our phased system builds accountability first, then earns you freedom — family passes, overnight passes, and leadership roles in the community as you hit your own treatment goals.
Family healing, included
Your therapist keeps the family members you choose informed and involved — and our free virtual family program, Stigma, meets every Tuesday evening, open to families at any stage.

I spent a total of 11 weeks in Lantana programs — 6 weeks of PHP and 5 weeks in IOP. I am truly grateful for my experience with the staff and clients there. Although they are a newer program, they take client feedback to heart and are willing to work with you on your recovery and mental health goals. They changed my life.
