They’re situated near I-84 for direct access to Hartford and a mile south of US Route 30 for quick connection to local neighborhoods. CTtransit Bus Route 24 has a stop near the clinic for easy access.
HVCC starts with comprehensive intake assessment and personalized treatment planning to ensure tailored therapeutic support. They’ll provide referrals to outside providers if your assessment indicates the need for high-intensity inpatient care, since they only have outpatient treatment. Therapeutic support here is delivered in group and individual settings to help you address underlying psychological issues and build strong coping and relapse prevention strategies. Groups encompass relapse prevention, substance abuse, parenting education and recovery maintenance.
Your tailored care may incorporate medication-assisted treatment (MAT), especially if you’re dealing with opioid addiction or alcoholism. This technique pairs FDA-approved meds with counseling to deliver wholesome care. Their MAT involves a prescription of Suboxone to help you alleviate painful withdrawal symptoms and curb cravings. The program also involves ongoing therapy and assessments to monitor the success of your medication-assisted recovery.
They’ll link you to community services that support lasting healing via case management as you move forward. These include services that help with affordable housing, vocational and educational assistance and medical care. This enables you to maintain stability and stay on track with your goals.
