Middlesex 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. Middlesex County is made up of the following cities and towns:

Centerbrook, Chester, Clinton, Cobalt, Cromwell, Deep River, Durham, East Haddam, East Hampton, Essex, Haddam, Higganum, Ivoryton, Killingworth, Middle Haddam, Middlefield, Middletown, Moodus, Old Saybrook, Portland, Rockfall & Westbrook
