  • Intensive Treatment Program (ITP) is a 42 bed, short-term, flexible length of stay, residential program that offers individual counseling, group therapy, family involvement and regular in-house 12-step meetings. Patients receive individualized treatment plans, continuing care updates and discharge plans. It is one component in a continuum of care for adults in need of substance abuse services. Middlesex County is the primary service area, with surrounding towns secondary, and other parts of Connecticut served as program space allows. ITP is designed for patients who demonstrate serious refractory single or multi-chemical addictions and who require substantial structure and environmental changes, in order to gain progress toward recovery. Emphasis is placed on teaching patients about the disease process and sober living skills, and how to have fun during recovery. ITP has 20 hours per day of psychiatric coverage. Patients with psychiatric symptoms can be seen and assessed by a psychiatrist. This is a dual capable program with 24 hour nursing coverage. The staff meets medical and acute psychological needs on a 24 hour basis. Counselors provide treatment, via group and/or one-to-one counseling. Patients regularly attend AA/NA meetings. A comprehensive discharge plan with specific discharge criteria is developed for each patient within 4 days of admission. Dual diagnosis patients with mild to moderate psychiatric symptomology, that does not preclude their ability to function in the residential environment, are managed on an individualized and creative basis. An APRN and psychiatrist are available to provide in-house consultation and psychopharmacological treatment and management for the dually diagnosed. In addition to the above services, our Senior Citizens are encouraged to attend a specialty group designed to address the lifestyle changes and other unique issues of this population. These groups discuss topics such as the potential for substance abuse, increased use of medications, structuring free time in retirement, adjustment to lower income, grief and loss issues, etc. Nutritional assessment and counseling is also available.

  • Acute Care and Evaluation (ACE) is one component of a continuum of care for adults in need of substance abuse services. It operates as the primary local resource for the evaluation and treatment of acute alcohol and drug detoxification with the purpose of medical stabilization as its primary objective. Middlesex County is the primary service area with secondary and tertiary service areas spanning a 100-mile radius. ACE is a 19 bed inpatient, medically monitored detoxification, evaluation and medical treatment unit. The average length of stay is 4 days. Short term counseling and discharge planning are provided to all patients on a regular basis. Protocols are in place for alcohol, opiate, and polysubstance detoxification including daily group activity designed to educate and prepare the patient for the next appropriate level of care. Safe containment and stabilization is provided for individuals who are entering treatment on an intensive level. All patients receive one-to-one counseling to encourage and motivate to achieve the appropriate level of care that is needed. This assessment often includes a complete bio psychosocial assessment, which affords a more comprehensive assessment process and determines either an internal (RCI) or external treatment program. Our staff includes a Medical Director, Manager, APRN, RN's, Certified Nursing Assistants/Counselor Assistants and Counselors.Nutritional assessment and counseling is also available when needed. A 16-hour, 7 day per week, (8 a.m. - midnight) RN-staffed Acute Care and Evaluation unit administers services to Catchment Area 10. The Acute Care and Evaluation unit provides a centralized location with specialized staff to provide assessment, intervention and referral services to substance abusers. This program was established in 1985 by legislative mandate and was initially designed to relieve area hospital emergency room utilization of substance abusers; nearly 200 patients are served monthly through the Admissions and Evaluation Center, demonstrating a successful achievement of this goal. Further, through screening and referral to Rushford's Acute Care Unit, 75-80% of the patients are diverted from admission to CVH Addiction Services and Middlesex Hospital, thereby avoiding an excessive demand on those providers.

The first 25 listed. Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
