About Wheeler Health – Hartford Family Health & Wellness Center – Hartford

Wheeler Health – Hartford Family Health & Wellness Center is located in Hartford, Connecticut. They offer integrated primary care, mental health services and treatment for substance use disorders across all age groups. Their treatment options include general outpatient and intensive outpatient care.

They deliver quality and personalized care. This is evident from the beautiful comments from past clients. Their accreditation from the Joint Commission further confirms this fact. Their recovery programs are LGBTQIA-responsive and they offer several specific LGBTQIA-focused services as well. It’s especially convenient that they accept Medicaid, Medicare and various commercial insurance.

The treatment model for all their substance use recovery programs involves proven therapeutic practices like dialectical behavioral therapy delivered via group, individual and family sessions. Their outpatient substance abuse treatment for children and youths serves those aged 9 to 18 years. This focuses on early intervention, assessment/evaluation and recovery support. Intensive in-home treatment is available for adolescents and youths aged three to 24 dealing with co-occurring conditions. They also offer substance use recovery services for court involved youths.

Their adult recovery program incorporates medication assisted treatment for opioid and alcohol addiction. This evidence based technique uses FDA approved medicine and counseling to treat opioid addiction. The facility uses buprenorphine-based medicines, Brixadi and naltrexone for this purpose. These medicines curb cravings and minimize withdrawal symptoms. This allows you to undergo group and individual therapy. This comprehensive approach addresses the physical and psychological aspects of addiction. Their therapeutic activities are focused on developing solid coping skills, relapse prevention and life skill training.

This location also offers outreach and engagement programs for seniors over 50 with mental health/substance use disorders. This program involves assessment, addiction education, case management and referral to community health services. Slightly similar programs known as Women’s REACH are available for pregnant and parenting women with substance use or co-occurring disorders. Aftercare services may involve connections to their various community recovery resources for ongoing support. Comments from past clients reflect a positive experience and outstanding quality of care.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Intensive Outpatient

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

Medically Assisted Detox

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

Outpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Treatments

Programs

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

LGBTQ Program

Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.
