About us
The New Haven, Connecticut-based New Era Rehabilitation Center (NERC) is a private clinic that specializes in treating substance abuse, dual diagnosis, drug addiction, alcoholism, and opioid addiction. Established in 2002 by physicians who have undergone board certification, NERC has expanded to become a comprehensive treatment facility providing a variety of services. The Center of Substance Abuse Treatment and the Connecticut Department of Public Health have granted the center licenses, and it has sites in both Bridgeport and New Haven. The company as a whole is recognized by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO), and the New Haven facility is further certified by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF).
Patient-focused care is central to the therapeutic approach of New Era Rehabilitation Center. The facility places a strong emphasis on treating drug dependence using tried-and-true, scientifically supported medical techniques while always keeping the needs of the patients and their families in mind. As part of its all-inclusive services, NERC provides methadone maintenance to those who are addicted to opioids. With an emphasis on long-term rehabilitation, their programs are designed to promote behavioral changes and favorable health outcomes.
NERC is a family-friendly institution that is proud of its dedication to provide patients with fair, compassionate, and respectful care. Family participation in the healing process is valued at the center, since it is seen to be essential to the long-term health and wellbeing of those receiving treatment. Patients benefit from feeling understood and cared for in this encouraging environment, which increases the efficacy of their treatment regimens.
NERC’s listing with the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) demonstrates its commitment to provide addiction treatment services that meet the highest standards of care. This dedication to quality guarantees that patients get the greatest assistance available as they heal.

We understand that choosing an addiction treatment center can be overwhelming, especially with so many options, promises, and marketing messages. That’s why we’ve developed a clear, standardized rating system designed to cut through the noise and highlight what truly matters: safety, quality of care, and transparency. Our goal is to give individuals and families the information they need to make confident, informed decisions during a critical time.
In this guide, we explain exactly how we rate treatment centers—from accreditation and staff credentials to therapy options, facility environment, and family involvement. You’ll see how we assign scores, award badges, and update listings to ensure accuracy and fairness. Most importantly, our system focuses on elevating centers that prioritize ethical, evidence-based care, not just those with the best marketing. This way, you can trust that the ratings you see reflect meaningful standards that help you find the right fit for lasting recovery.
