It's what you make of it, staff is dedicated and the nurses are great. Most of them. If you follow the program, keep your head down and take advantage of the counseling support services offered you will be successful and over time you'll notice you've changed your life recovering one day at a time. Nothing worth while comes easy. You gotta fight and work hard. You're the architect of your own future. Best wishes.

Accepted Insurance

Health Care Resource Centers Hartford works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
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.
inpatient iconInpatient Rehab
aftercare iconAftercare
heart-hands iconIntervention Services
Intervention services can be crucial to successfully plan and complete a drug intervention in Connecticut. A professional interventionist can walk loved ones through the careful step-by-step process of carrying out an intervention. This process may be necessary if an individual is causing physical harm to themselves or others, when it is apparent that they aren't going to get help, or when they deny they have a problem at all.
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically 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.

Treatments

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
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.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
lgbtq-program thumbnail image
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.

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Clients participating in dialectical behavior therapy in Connecticut can expect to attend weekly skills focused group meetings as well as one on one sessions with the therapist. Individual sessions usually last one hour, and groups, made up of four to 10 people, last 1.5 to 2 hours. The focus is to help clients accept situations, recognize emotions, and acknowledge the need for change.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

During rehab treatment, you and your therapist will identify any life skills that you need to develop. Your treatment will include methods to strengthen those skills so you can have a successful long term recovery. These skills include thinking skills, self awareness, and interpersonal skills.

This clinic, while suffering major staff shortages, still manages to take good care of us (methadone patients) and the nurses are amazing ANGELS!!! I wish some of the clients, well, alot of them, were a little more GRATEFUL and realize how blessed we are to have a clinic that doesnt stigmatize against dual diagnosis patients, like me. The staff does the best they can, as much as they can - and im so blessed to be able to recieve treatment there. THANKS, HCRC@FISHFRY!!!

Comments BY : JAMIE CIRONE BELOW... A BIG DITTO HERE... I have been to clinics with 6X as many clients handle recovery and treating people with dignity at EVERY STEP. INCLUDING NOT ALLOWING NURSES TO DO SIDEWORK ON CLIENTS TIME. THE ONLY THING NURSES SHOULD BE DOING AT MEDICATION WINDOWS IS MEDICATING. THATS IT. EVERYTHING ELSE MEDICAL, MESSAGES, WHATEVER SHOULD BE DISCUSSED IN PRIVATE, IN BACK, AND SHOULD NEVER IMPEDE THE NEXT CLIENT IN LINES WAITING TIME. BEFORE COVID, EVEN DURING COVID A FEW TIMES, THE LINES ARE SO LONG, THEY GO FROM THE FRONT DOOR TO THE ROAD. ITS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. AND ITS ALWAYS SOMETHING. "COMPUTERS ARE DOWN" (I. E., NOBODY GOT TO WORK ON TIME THIS MORNING TO START THE PROCESS, SO WERE DOING IT NOW WHILE THE WORKER RUSH IS IN FULL SWING, AND PEOPLE HAVE PLACES TO BE. THEY ACT LIKE WE DONT HAVE LIVES AND BECAUSE WE ARE ON METHADONE, WE HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO BUT STAND OUT FRONT FOR 45 MINS, NOT EVEN MENTIONING THE POOR PEOPLE WHO ARE AT THE MERCY OF MEDCABS...... IM SWITCHING AS SOON AS I POSSIBLY CAN. PERIOD. IVE HAD ENOUGH.

I have been opioid free for 3 years now, thanks to the program at hcrc. Their liberal medication program (a.k.a. along with benzodiazapienes) has worked well in curbing my anxiety and cravings, and If I had to pick an hour every day at AA or doing this program, I would do methadone all day every day. I could not stay sober without it, and to those people who say it isn't sobriety, ill take whatever it is over using every day of the week.

THEY SAVE LIVES AT HCRC!!!The staff: nurses, counselors, administrative are the best- 100% hands down in the state. They know all about what it really takes to help someone w/an opiate addiction. They treat clients w/dignity, as human beings- something most of society doesn't.*a special note of thanks to Sang and Carol; you know who you are and if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to turn my life around. I love you guys!!!

A friend was in route to this clinic was less than 5 mins away and called to let them know that there was a accident in highway which would prolong them from getting there,so my friend arrived at clinic 3 minutes after closing and was greeted by locked door and somone came out amd said jackie had to make the decision on weather or not they would be let in and not just ine person but a couple,now it should be known that my friend had a small altercation with thus nurse the day before and rather than the nurse saying no we are closed,she came out of the office which im told isn't even near the entrance,just to see who it was amd once she saw it was him whom sge had a issue with the day before she denied not only him but his girlfriend as well and for a place thats supposed to be helping people there are alot of things going on in this place that i feel if the people who actually ran knew about they would have to make many changes because it's run so inefficiently i think your common kitchen manager could run this place more effectively amd take in mind this is a place thats supposed to be helping people change thier lives bit from what im told if you have a job it feels to them like these people wpuld rather them have no jobs so the clients could be fully available for the most simplest things that mostly could be handled by a simple phone call rather than jamming people up who may come on a lunch break amd have no time for unexpected delays amd again things that could be avioded by a simple phone call to get some information they may need prior to your arrival.All in all it seems from what ive been told this place is in major need of a managerial or all around change of who's in charge and it seems like from again what ive seen amd been told that these people treat you like a drug usuer and not a regular memeber of society.
