This place is a mess starting with the people who run it. Richard the director can care less about anyone. Drugs are brought to facility on a daily basis, but he will kick you out for not apologizing or having a vape. Gina looks like she has a hangover everyday like she drinks every night. Very overcrowded and all the food is frozen and nasty. If you are homeless it may be the place but if you are looking for recovery stay away.

Hello my experience was truly a blessing wouldn't be here today without the help support from stonington detox, and starlight program. The staff was exactly what I needed and the tools support and education I received to help me identify things that lead or contributed to my disease with alcohol. It has put me in a different life path and I actually work at star light program so I can give back and try to help clients like myself..so in short stonington saved my life and I will always be in d...

I truly wish that I could give zero stars. I commend those who flourished after this. My experience was much different. I stayed in a "house" in New London, located across from the court house (the pictures you see online are false). It was dilapidated and literally falling apart. My room was in the attic. 33 steps up, which was stifling in June. During the 23 days I was there, I saw thefts and drugs use, as well as sharing drugs, residential staff not present for days at a time, staff assig...

I spent a 3 day detox and 29 day program at Stonington 31 years ago. The entire experience got me onto a footing that has kept me sober this long. The introduction to 12 step programs was paramount in my recovery and sustained sobriety. Still attending several a week. I was allowed to give back by joining their volunteer program also good and grounding experience. If you plan to go here, the results are up to you. You'll be given all the tool you need. Thanks Stonington. Sid H Wing

I've been calling for over a week and a half now, and haven't been able to speak to anyone! It's ridiculous and so unprofessional. Also my significant other is there and its been overdoses?? That shouldn't even be possible at a REHAB/DETOX It's ashame how no one takes their job serious. They need to shut the whole Facility down. I'd love to be able to get into the detox TO BE ABLE TO EVEN DO SO but can't even get a answer. Was told I'd get a call back and STILL haven't. So frustrating. People...

i was there for a day and didn’t even make it through the night I went home and decided to detox at Hartford hospital. The staff is nice but they completely take away your individuality and aren’t able to accommodate anything for your special or unique needs. It felt like jail. they don’t allow you to have any personal items for comfort with I think is cruel because going through this is hard enough why make it harder. I’m a performer a model a dancer I play instruments I read tarot cards and...

After attempting to find a bed to detox, Stonington went out of their way to make sure I was being supported with bed and ride. That let me know someone cared. Looking forward to the next steps. Will update it future actions. Phillip
