Summary
Connecticut’s urgent battle to save teens from substance use crises hits a wall: no providers accept Medicaid for 24-hour residential care, despite federal funding and state efforts to expand access. With overdose deaths and ER visits soaring, officials scramble to fill a critical gap—especially for girls, where services have vanished for years. Low reimbursement rates, developmental needs, and logistical chaos stall progress. The state’s desperate search for solutions, even outside its borders, underscores a systemic failure: without affordable, specialized care, teens slip through the cracks, and recovery remains out of reach.
