About Community Health Center — Middletown – Stamford
Near the Connecticut River in Middletown, Connecticut, you’ll find the Community Health Center (CHC) of Middletown. This center serves as the central hub for CHC’s network of support services in Middlesex County, which includes the provision of their substance use management program.
CHC is fundamentally committed to helping the community by giving individuals who are struggling with an addiction a way forward. This commitment includes providing care for people using Medicaid, as well as offering other forms of financial assistance, such as variable fees and a Pharmacy Assistance Program to help with filling prescriptions.
When a person comes to CHC for assistance, the staff will create a personalized care plan designed to assist them with their particular addiction in their particular context. This care plan combines individual therapy interventions and community support with medication assisted treatment (MAT).
The medications prescribed help reduce cravings or limit severe withdrawal symptoms, giving you time and energy to engage in therapy and build healthier habits. CHC’s philosophy is that there’s very rarely a quick solution to an addiction, which is why they insist on walking longer journeys with their clients.
The Middletown Center’s substance use program is managed by a partner called the Center for Key Populations. What’s unique about their services is that they take into account that many people who face addiction often also face co-occurring medical problems and barriers when trying to get help. Their care is infused with programs to help people suffering with HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis C, and homelessness.
