Fairfield County

To save time we are narrowing the search for you. Services such as shelters, sober living homes, and support groups are, in many cases, gender-specific.

For this reason, we have created separate pages, one for men, and one for women. There is also a page just for members of the LGBTQ+ community to search for services. Fairfield County is made up of the following cities and towns:

Bridgeport, Brookfield, Cos Cob, Danbury, Darien, Easton, Fairfield, Georgetown, Greenwich, Hawleyville, Monroe, New Canaan, New Fairfield, Newtown, Norwalk, Old Greenwich, Redding, Redding Center, Redding Ridge, Ridgefield, Riverside, Sandy Hook, Shelton, Sherman, Southport, Stamford, Stratford, Trumbull, Weston, Westport & Wilton
