McCall Behavioral Health Network - Carnes Weeks Center/Intensive Resid

Intensive Residential Treatment in Torrington

Set in downtown Torrington, Carnes Weeks Center provides a structured, 7–28 day residential treatment program for adults (18+) experiencing substance use and co-occurring behavioral health conditions. Operated by the nonprofit McCall Behavioral Health Network, the facility offers 24-hour clinical support in a welcoming, community-oriented setting designed to foster safety and stability during early recovery.

Evidence-Based Care and Medications for Addiction Treatment

The program integrates established therapeutic approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, relapse prevention, and 12-step facilitation. Residents also receive psychiatric evaluation and medication management as part of a comprehensive care plan. Medications for addiction treatment (MAT), including naltrexone, buprenorphine, and Vivitrol, are available to help reduce cravings and support long-term recovery. This evidence-based approach addresses both substance use and mental health needs simultaneously.

Holistic and Experiential Healing

Carnes Weeks emphasizes a whole-person model of care that engages the mind, body, and spirit. Residents participate in movement and mindfulness practices, including yoga and adventure-based counseling, to promote self-awareness and emotional regulation. Complementary therapies such as auricular acupuncture and drum circles enhance relaxation and focus, while psychoeducational groups cover topics like anger management, the biology of addiction, and relapse prevention to build strong recovery foundations.

Family Connection and Continuing Support

Recognizing that recovery extends beyond treatment, the center encourages family participation through structured sessions and visitation. Residents also benefit from peer mentoring, recovery coaching, and case management services that connect them to community resources such as housing, employment, and ongoing therapy. Before discharge, staff collaborate with each client to create a personalized aftercare plan that supports continued progress and long-term wellness after leaving the program.
