Why families start early at the New Milford campus

The program is built on a simple observation: recovery rarely holds if the household a client returns to hasn't changed with them. So families join the working plan in the earliest weeks — learning what support actually looks like, what patterns to watch, and what their role becomes when treatment ends. Clients at the campus name that early involvement, together with the recovery manager and therapist relationship, among what made treatment feel supported rather than isolating.

A family isn't an audience to recovery — it's part of the system that has to shift along with the client. Someone can do everything right in treatment and still return to a home where the relationship patterns haven't moved at all. That's why our family program works with families on the role they'll play once their person is home again, not only while they're with us.

I spent a total of 11 weeks in Lantana programs — 6 weeks of PHP and 5 weeks in IOP. I am truly grateful for my experience with the staff and clients there. Although they are a newer program, they take client feedback to heart and are willing to work with you on your recovery and mental health goals. They changed my life.

I was referred to Lantana for aftercare and I'm so grateful I did it! The staff is so amazing and supportive. They listened to client feedback and made program enhancements. Ralph, Yana, Bill & Christian are so down to earth and easy to talk to! I will stay connected and look forward to alumni events!

Naz GardnerGoogle review · New Milford, CT

I have a strong connection to Lantana Recovery in New Milford, CT. I have been able to stay sober for many years through this connection. The culture here supports a strong 12-step fellowship presence through sponsorship and step work for those who desire it. The staff here is amazing — supportive and helpful. They can even help with getting clients connected to the local recovery community. The location is perfect too, tucked into a quintessential New England downtown.

Matthew RyderGoogle review · New Milford, CT

★★★★★
My husband had been in and out of different facilities for a six-month period. Once he was moved to Lantana there was significant improvement almost immediately, and my husband was able to move through the program and succeed. Thank you to the team at Lantana for understanding his issues and working toward a recovery and a plan for him to move forward.

Ann MorganGoogle review · New Milford, CT

★★★★★
This program and staff saved my son's life. They are kind and compassionate and treated us with respect. Addiction is a powerful disease and cannot be battled alone — it takes an army, and Lantana has built a great force to help families with that battle. We could not be more grateful for Mark, Mike, Christian and the entire team.

Melissa PeroGoogle review · New Milford, CT

★★★★★
Lantana has consistently helped clients of mine that have gone through their programs. The clinical staff is top notch and their support staff are equally impressive at providing excellent care to clients. After 15 years of working in the treatment field I am still very confident when I refer families to Lantana for help with their loved ones.

Thomas McAlindenGoogle review · New Milford, CT

★★★★★
The program at Lantana is wonderful. I went to Lantana directly after leaving a 30-day inpatient program and this was the best decision. The program helped me learn many coping skills for my recovery. The entire staff is amazing — they even helped with aftercare once I completed the program. I can't say enough about how wonderful this experience was.

Doreen SouzaGoogle review · New Milford, CT

★★★★★
Lantana Recovery is amazing! I can't say enough great things about this treatment center. They genuinely care and have a team that truly puts recovery first. The staff is compassionate and knowledgeable, creating a safe and supportive environment for healing. They don't just treat the addiction — they care for the whole person, offering tools and guidance that really make a difference. I highly recommend this center to anyone seeking real, lasting recovery!
