MCCA Opens New Outpatient Addiction Treatment Facility In New Haven

MCCA (Midwestern Connecticut Council of Alcoholism) is proud to announce the opening of their newest outpatient addiction treatment facility in New Haven, CT. Treatment for alcohol and drug addiction, as well as mental health disorders is offered at the 419 Whalley Avenue location.

Intensive Outpatient Treatment (IOP) is one of the primary services offered at this new facility for people needing treatment for alcohol and drug addiction. IOP is an excellent option for people who require therapy but are unable put their life on hold and enter into an inpatient program. Research shows counseling and group support is one of the most effective ways to treat addiction. The New Haven facility also offers groups for early intervention, relapse prevention, anger management, as well as treatment for mental health disorders.

During his time in Norwalk, Bill earned a reputation as a true champion in the fight for the underprivileged. Prior to this he was the District Regional Programs Director at The Connection Inc. in New Haven.

"Being one of the pioneers in the treatment field here in New Haven, I'm elated to be a part of this community. We are invested in bringing hope and help to people who are displaced and struggling with addiction," said Okwuasa. "It's time to break this epidemic, reunite families and regain our loving community."
