[Canaan, CT] — Mountainside Treatment Center and the Teamsters Union are proud to announce a partnership to revolutionize addiction treatment for Teamsters members and their families. The collaboration will provide seamless access to compassionate, evidence-based care, empowering individuals and families to heal from addiction and reclaim their lives. 

According to the 2023 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), approximately 95 percent of people aged 12 or older with a substance use disorder did not receive any treatment. This translates to millions of individuals who could not access the care they needed due to geographic, personal, and financial barriers.  

While Mountainside is not currently in-network, they are an authorized provider for Teamsters union members which means they can receive quality, consistent support through this unique benefit.  

Mountainside has inpatient and outpatient locations in CT, NY, and NJ and serves MA virtually with a range of comprehensive treatment programs covered by Teamsters, each designed with the client’s individual journey in mind:  

  • Detox: Begin recovery safely with Mountainside’s medically supervised detox program, where their compassionate team helps manage withdrawal symptoms to make the first steps as comfortable as possible. 
  • Residential (Inpatient): Provides a structured, healing environment that combines evidence-based therapies, holistic wellness practices, and 24/7 support, helping clients focus fully on their recovery journey. 
  • Extended Care: Offers a structured, sober living environment that reinforces recovery skills and builds resilience for lasting change. 
  • Outpatient Services: Allows clients to receive expert care while integrating recovery into daily life, providing the flexibility to balance treatment with personal responsibilities. 
  • Virtual Outpatient Services: Receive the same high-quality care from the comfort of your home through this virtual outpatient program, designed for accessibility and convenience without compromising support. 
  • Family Services: Through Family Recovery Coaching and Family Outpatient Services, these services help families heal together and strengthen their role in their loved one’s recovery. 
  • Adolescent Services: Offers age-appropriate care, designed to support young people in building a foundation for recovery in a compassionate and understanding environment. 

Mountainside is committed to providing the highest quality of care in a compassionate and supportive environment. Their holistic approach incorporates a variety of evidence-based therapies, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and motivational therapy (MT). They offer a range of complementary therapies, such as yoga, meditation, and acupuncture as well as free community resources such as weekly support groups and events.
