Supported Sobriety is an unique 24-hour, recovery-oriented, person centered support service for adults living with concurring disorders; Developmental Disabilities and Substance Use Disorders. We can provide supports to adults with developmental disabilities in their home with this unique program that incorporates the 12-step model by specially trained staff. This curriculum assists those living with co-occurring disorders and ASD and other learning disorders, to acquire the necessary comprehension of the disease of addiction and competency with recovery tools in order to achieve and maintain sobriety.

Our Day Services programs offer a variety of supports for people with Intellectual and Development Disabilities. Depending on the location, services available may include a combination of supports such as community integration, base site programming, employment opportunities, problem-solving and decision-making in everyday living, participating in community events and leisure activities, or assisting people to prepare for vocational, recreational, or other community-based programs.

Individualized day services focus on community integration, communication, and problem-solving and decision-making in everyday living, assisting people to prepare for a vocational, recreational, or other community based programs. Skill building areas may include socialization, ADLs such as self-care and caring for one’s home, mobility, and participating in leisure activities.

Self-Directed Supports

As in our residential settings, we believe in self-direction for all consumers and their families and in everyday practice, we seek to support and enhance people’s abilities and rights to exercise self-determination in their lives. These services are tailored to the individual’s preferences and desires. Actual services and levels of support would be adjusted based on the needs and desires of the individual being supported.

Residential services are provided to an individual living in his or her own home or apartment with or without roommates, depending on the location. These sites serve individuals of various need levels, including individuals with significant medical, physical, or behavioral challenges. Staffing levels vary by the needs of the people being served. The focus of these services is to enhance independence and quality of life. Dungarvin's residential services are very flexible and easily modified to meet changing abilities, interests, choices, and needs of individuals.

We provide residential support services to adults individually and in small groups, living in typical homes throughout the community.

Community Companion Homes

The CCH model offers a family setting to people with intellectual disabilities. In this setting a community member becomes a licensed care provider who opens their home to an individual with a disability. Community Companion Home Licensees are licensed by the Department of Developmental Services (DDS) and accept the responsibility for caring for one or two adults with a disability in the licensee’s own home.

The Licensee plays an active role in the individual’s team and the collaborative development of a support plan. They also help the individual integrate with their family and the community, teach the individual to use community resources and services, ensure the person’s health and medical needs are met, and comply with licensing regulations of the Connecticut Department of Developmental Services.

We take great care in selecting the right match, considering shared interests and backgrounds to ensure a harmonious bond between the Licensee and the individual. The process involves an initial application with health checks, references, background checks of all household occupants over 16 years of age, and a Home Study interview. Additionally, the applicant’s home undergoes a fire safety check. Once this initial application process is completed, the licensing division of DDS Central Office will then survey the home.

As a Licensee, you receive a monthly payment for each individual living in your home, providing a flat rate for room & board and a reimbursement for care based on their unique needs.  For many, the most important reward is not financial. It is the satisfaction that comes from becoming part of a dedicated group of service providers who make life better and more fulfilling by opening their hearts and their homes.

Dungarvin provides all your state mandated trainings free of charge. We provide re-training as needed. You will have the support of our Quality Assurance Team, a regional Nurse, and Program Directors, to name a few. We want you to succeed and will do everything our power to help you.
