Southwest Community Health Center – Albion Street

Southwest Community Health Center provides mental health and addiction treatment at its Albion Street location in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Along with outpatient addiction treatment like counseling, this location offers several other specialty services, including dental and internal medicine. This clinic is near the edge of the Long Island Sound, so if you’re up for some sightseeing you’ll find plenty of scenic locations along the coast to enjoy.

If you’ve been using intravenous drugs, you’re at a heightened risk of HIV/AIDS exposure. As part of their mission to improve your overall health rather than just treating your addiction in isolation, this clinic provides HIV testing.

This center notes that all of their services are open to people who are unhoused, but to better serve this often overlooked group they maintain a presence at shelters in the area. This includes five locations in Bridgeport. Those needing specialty care like substance use disorder treatment will get referrals.

You don’t need to be at one of these shelters to receive care. You can always visit the clinic. When you’re seen, you can expect additional support from the team to help you stay safe and stabilize your living situation.

They accept many private insurance plans as well as Medicare and Medicaid. They also have a sliding fee scale to help the uninsured.
