Child and Family Guidance Center

What the SAMHSA Record Shows About Child and Family Guidance Center

Child and Family Guidance Center is a substance use treatment operated by Private non-profit organization in Bridgeport, Connecticut. The facility's N-SUMHSS record lists 2 primary care modalities (outpatient, telehealth), which shapes both how treatment is delivered and how intake is scheduled. MAT is not listed in the current record; callers seeking medication-assisted options should verify directly or check the rankings pages for nearby providers that do offer MAT. The full postal address on file is 180 Fairfield Avenue, Bridgeport, CT 06604.

On the services side, the facility self-reports 8 distinct service lines (Cognitive behavioral therapy, Mental health services, Motivational interviewing, Outpatient, Substance use treatment, Suicide prevention services, Telehealth, Trauma-informed care), 3 substance or condition categories treated (Alcohol, General substance use disorders, Opioids), and 10 clinical treatment approaches (Anger management, Brief intervention, Cognitive behavioral therapy, Community reinforcement plus vouchers, Contingency management/motivational incentives, Motivational interviewing, Relapse prevention, Substance use disorder counseling, Telemedicine/telehealth therapy, Trauma-related counseling). It serves 10 specific population groups (Adolescents, Adults, Justice-involved individuals, Persons affected by intimate partner violence, Persons who have experienced sexual abuse, Persons who have experienced trauma, Persons with DUI/DWI, Persons with co-occurring disorders, Persons with co-occurring pain, Young adults) with 1 language of care (Spanish). Those figures give a rough signal of programmatic breadth, a higher number of approaches and populations usually indicates more structured clinical programming rather than a single-modality operation. Payment-wise, the record confirms Medicaid, private insurance, a sliding-fee scale, payment assistance, plus 6 specific payment methods enumerated in the survey (Cash or self-payment, Federal, or any government funding for substance use treatment programs, Medicaid, Private health insurance, SAMHSA funding/block grants, State-financed health insurance plan other than Medicaid).

Child and Family Guidance Center reports 39 attributes across services, populations, payment, and language, in line with the Connecticut statewide median of 36 (237 facilities listed).
