Mountainside is located at the base of a mountain in the foothills of the Berkshires in the north west corner of Connecticut. Our natural surroundings combined with our compassionate approach to treatment provide the perfect backdrop for healing and recovery. |

For those residents who take part in Mountainsides Long-term treatment program they will have the opportunity to acquire job and life skills. As part of the program at Mountainside we have a fully functioning professionally managed restaurant. This serves as the vehicle for residents to gain job skills and get experience living in separate living quarters under the care and supervision of Mountainside Phase IV coordinators. Residents are expected to adhere to a set of guidelines focused on the next stage of recovery and work closely with their coordinator to identify and to plan the next step in their recovery and their lives. |
