About Fresno New Connections Inc
Fresno New Connections has served the recovery community since 1975, offering outpatient and intensive outpatient programs for adults and adolescents in Fresno County. The center specializes in dual diagnosis treatment and provides accessible substance abuse treatment through telehealth options.
Fresno New Connections stands as one of Fresno's longest-serving addiction treatment centers, providing outpatient substance abuse treatment to the local recovery community since 1975. Located on North Cedar Avenue, this outpatient clinic serves Fresno and surrounding Fresno County areas with specialized programs for individuals seeking flexible treatment options that allow them to maintain work, school, and family commitments while building their recovery foundation.
The recovery center offers both standard outpatient programs and intensive outpatient (IOP) treatment under one roof, creating seamless transitions between care levels as clients progress through their recovery journey. Their intensive outpatient program provides structured support for those stepping down from residential treatment or requiring more intensive intervention than traditional outpatient care. Both programs address substance use disorders and alcohol use disorders, with particular expertise in co-occurring mental health conditions that often complicate the recovery process.
Treatment at Fresno New Connections incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients develop practical coping strategies and address underlying thought patterns that contribute to addiction. The center's approach recognizes that sustainable recovery requires addressing both substance use and mental health challenges simultaneously, making them a valuable resource for dual diagnosis treatment in the Fresno area.
The facility serves both adolescents and adults, including individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing, ensuring accessibility across diverse populations. As a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic participant, Fresno New Connections accepts Medicaid and offers self-pay options, making addiction treatment accessible to community members regardless of insurance status. Their telehealth services expand access to recovery support, particularly valuable for ongoing aftercare and maintaining connection to the recovery community.
Outpatient and Intensive Outpatient Programs
Fresno New Connections provides flexible outpatient addiction treatment options designed for individuals who need professional support while maintaining their daily responsibilities. The center's outpatient program allows clients to attend therapy sessions and treatment activities while living at home and continuing work or school commitments.
Their intensive outpatient program offers more structured support, typically involving multiple sessions per week to provide comprehensive addiction treatment without requiring residential placement. This IOP serves as an ideal step-down option for individuals completing residential treatment or as primary treatment for those whose substance use disorder requires intensive intervention but not 24-hour supervision.
Dual Diagnosis Treatment Approach
The recovery center specializes in treating co-occurring mental health conditions alongside substance use disorders, recognizing that many individuals in recovery face multiple challenges simultaneously. Their dual diagnosis expertise addresses both alcohol use disorders and substance use disorders while providing concurrent mental health support.
Treatment incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify triggers, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and address underlying thought patterns that contribute to both addiction and mental health symptoms. This integrated approach supports long-term recovery by treating the whole person rather than focusing solely on substance use.
Community Access and Support
As a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic participant, Fresno New Connections demonstrates commitment to accessible addiction treatment within the local recovery community. The center accepts Medicaid and offers self-pay options, reducing financial barriers that often prevent individuals from accessing needed substance abuse treatment.
Their telehealth services expand treatment access beyond traditional office visits, particularly valuable for ongoing recovery support and maintaining connections to care. Operating Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 7 PM, the center accommodates working schedules while providing comprehensive outpatient treatment services to Fresno County residents.
