The History of Waterstone's Addiction & Behavioral Health Services
In 2015, three health professionals including a psychologist and two physicians, came together joined by a common goal; to make a positive impact on the devastating opioid epidemic. Their desire was to provide state-of-art outpatient care based on a foundation of best addiction treatment practices, acceptance of all insurances and the goal of saving lives from the destruction and fatality associated with this epidemic.
Today, the Waterstone outpatient treatment model encompasses all of our foundational goals and has evolved to include a full array of behavioral health services. All of our programs are now developed and managed by specialists with treatments that are highly individualized, collaborative, accessible, compassionate, flexible, and comprehensive. Our results speak for themselves and motivate us to continue providing what we believe to be the best outpatient substance use and behavioral health programs in Connecticut.
