No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Bridgeport offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.

Veterans are one of the 11 groups they offer a dedicated program for.
Does Southwest Connecticut MH Systems treat people in Spanish?
Yes. They treat people in Spanish. Confirm it for the first appointment specifically, because in Bridgeport that can depend on who is rostered that day.

What about the medication my doctor prescribed?
The medication review is part of intake, and it is one of the reasons intake asks so many health questions. Pregnancy changes medication decisions substantially and needs specialist input. Bring the containers with the labels on, not a bag of loose pills.
Is there a bed available now?
It depends on the level of care and on the week, which is why only a phone call can answer it. Centers often keep a cancellation list, and it moves faster than the main one. Ask who to call if things get worse while you are waiting, and write that number down.
