Direct Care Adolescent Per Diem

Stonington Institute began serving recovering alcoholics in 1957 as Starlight Farms, a working farm where adults in recovery were introduced to the principles of Alcoholics Anonymous. Our main campus is located in North Stonington, CT, in its original private and peaceful rural setting. We have additional clinical sites in Groton, CT. Transportation and off-campus housing assistance make our programs and services accessible to a statewide clientele. Those programs include: medical detoxification, rehabilitation/residential treatment, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient treatment (both day and evening) and ambulatory detoxification, as well as residential addictions treatment for active duty and retired military servicemembers. The Institute accepts private insurance, state-funded plans and self pay arrangements.

Direct care workers are responsible for the day-to-day supervision and safety of clients with developmental disabilities. This includes facilitating various therapeutic groups and activities in a residential setting. This individual functions as a team member in the delivery of services.
