The Bethel Port Rehabilitation Program helps men and women dealing with substance use disorder start and then make progress on a healthy path to sobriety. The Bethel building is a halfway house home, a chemical-free environment offering two distinct programs based on clients’ needs. Our Short-Term Program includes vocational planning and efforts to secure employment. Our Extended-Care Program is designed for individuals needing more structured treatment, with an emphasis on relapse prevention. Both programs are managed by exceptional teams of counselors dedicated to their clients’ success.
