What the SAMHSA Record Shows About Positive Directions

Positive Directions is a mental health treatment operated by Private non-profit organization in Westport, 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 90 Post Road West, Westport, CT 06880.

On the services side, the facility self-reports 7 distinct service lines (Co-occurring disorder treatment, Cognitive behavioral therapy, Dialectical behavior therapy, Mental health treatment, Outpatient, Suicide prevention services, Telehealth), 0 substance or condition categories treated, and 9 clinical treatment approaches (Abnormal involuntary movement scale, Activity therapy, Cognitive behavioral therapy, Couples/family therapy, Dialectical behavior therapy, Group therapy, Individual psychotherapy, Integrated Mental and Substance Use Disorder treatment, Telemedicine/telehealth therapy). It serves 6 specific population groups (Adolescents, Adults, Persons with Alzheimer's or dementia, Persons with co-occurring disorders, Seniors, Young adults) with 0 languages of care. 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.
