About this Sober House
Intelligent Decisions is a sober house in Ledyard, Connecticut, in New London County, operated by Intelligent Decision, LLC. The Connecticut Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services lists the program as supported recovery housing.
A Sober House in Ledyard
Ledyard is a town of villages and back roads in the middle of New London County, and it holds a kind of recovery housing Connecticut has too little of: a house outside a city. The operator does not publish a street address, and placement runs through the organization. The state listing carries no gender restriction for this residence, so anyone applying should confirm who the house serves before going further. That is the first question, and it should be answered on the first call.
Rural Recovery Housing and the Question of Transportation
A house outside a city trades noise for distance. The quiet is real, and so is the mileage. Ledyard has limited fixed-route transit, and SEAT service in this part of the county is built around the casino corridor. A resident with a car, a ride share arrangement or a job on an employer shuttle does well here. A resident with none of those should ask directly how other residents get to work and to meetings, because in a rural town that logistics answer determines whether the placement holds.
Work Within Reach of This Ledyard Sober Living Home
Foxwoods Resort Casino sits on the Mashantucket Pequot reservation inside Ledyard, and it is one of the largest employers in eastern Connecticut. Mohegan Sun is a short drive west in Montville. Between them the casinos hire year round in food service, housekeeping, security and facilities, and they run employee transportation from several towns. Groton and Norwich add the shipyard, the submarine base and two hospitals a short drive away. For someone in recovery housing who needs a job that starts this week, this corner of the state is unusually well supplied.
How Connecticut Recognizes a Recovery Residence
Two public records matter in Connecticut. The DMHAS availability listing shows the state recognizes a program as supported recovery housing and routes referrals into it, and this house carries one. Certification is granted separately by the Connecticut Alliance of Recovery Residences, the state's NARR affiliate, and binds a residence to a code of ethics, written disclosure of fees and rules before move-in, a written relapse and discharge policy, and an outside complaint process. A house may hold either, both or neither, and both are checkable.
What to Ask Before Applying to This Sober House
Applications go to the operator directly. Confirm who the house serves. Then ask what the weekly fee is and what it includes, whether a house manager lives on site, how bedrooms are assigned, how residents get to work and meetings, what the relapse policy says in writing, and whether medication for opioid use disorder is accepted. In a rural placement the transportation answer carries as much weight as the rules do.
