What Connecticut Valley Addiction Recovery Inc does
Mission
Connecticut valley addiction recovery, inc is dedicated to the treatment and support of individuals with substance use and related disorders. Cvar believes that healing the underlying behavioral and emotional problems contributing to addiction is crucial to achieving long term sobriety. If left untreated, these issues can easily lead to relapse, which is a disservice to all of the hard work put into recovery. The clinical team provides individual counseling, group therapy and case management to identify and heal the mental and emotional disorders which contribute to addiction.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Medications for the treatment of substance use disorder (sud), principally opioid and alcohol- cvar has expanded access to treatment of opioid use disorder including the prescription of medications approved for office-based treatment. Cvar remains the only non-profit single specialty multidisciplinary practice devoted to the care of individuals with sud. Arrangements with the local hospital emergency departments continue, under the program of rapid access to medication, to accept referrals of patients who are seen and evaluated in the ed and have medication treatment started. These referrals are seen within 24 hours (referrals made on weekends the following monday). A similar program has been developed for outpatient management of alcohol detoxification and treatment. Our focus on treating alcohol use disorder with fda-approved medications has been further developed and our use of that modality has increased. In 2025 cvar served 409 unique clients.
$670,405 spent$752,308 earned by the program70% of program spendingCounseling services for substance use disorder- all patients being treated for substance use disorders see a counselor for individual and/or group sessions. Expansion of our group offerings has been hampered by the loss of one therapist in the last year. Plans are to replace her and add another therapist (< 1 fte) to conduct groups. We continue to tailor our group offerings to include gender specific groups facilitated and a telehealth group to extend access to working clients and those without transportation. We use telehealth technology for individual counseling for those individuals with significant transportation issues or other, insurmountable, access barriers. Plans continue to evolve to have sufficient counseling capacity so that services can be offered to patients who are not currently receiving medication from our prescribers. The practice now is a referral partner with the vermont impaired driver rehabilitation program and will become associated with the new windsor county drug court with its inception in 2025. In 2025 cvar served 400 clients, there were 2661 counseling visits. Some patients come solely for counseling without medication assisted treatment.
$268,162 spent28% of program spendingCase management- in addition to continued cooperation with the vt blueprint for health, cvar was accepted into the vermont department of substance use preferred provider program, giving access to a block grant that provides resources to hire a coordinator to develop an outreach program. This is designed to increase awareness of the availability of sud treatment at cvar in the local medical and social service provider community, but also in a targeted and concentrated fashion to the population of unhoused individuals who struggle to access even basic services and needs, this initiative dovetails with the continued offering of case management services by a certified nurse case manager to assist clients with overcoming barriers to treatment and health such as housing, transportation, and health insurance. Cvar continues to manage a fund established with the generosity of donors, through which we are also able to offer limited financial assistance to help defray the cost of treatment to un- and underinsured individuals. This program is augmented by vermont dsu block grants earmarked for this purpose. In 2025 cvar served 164 clients.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $61k to $28k (−55%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2020 38% · 2021 32% · 2022 36% · 2023 22% · 2024 23% · 2025 25%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

1 of 8 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 31% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of CONNECTICUT VALLEY ADDICTION RECOVERY INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.

CONNECTICUT VALLEY ADDICTION RECOVERY INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 31% of grant income and the top three 71%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
58% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund CONNECTICUT VALLEY ADDICTION RECOVERY INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2021 67% · 2023 58% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $22k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
