About Root Center for Advanced Recovery – Hartford Dispensary
Root Center for Advanced Recovery provides addiction and mental health treatment for adolescents and adults. They have locations throughout Connecticut, including the Hartford Dispensary in Norwich. When you arrive, you’ll see that they specialize in medication assisted treatment and outpatient services to help you overcome substance abuse.
After they perform an assessment to learn more about your needs, your provider will create a tailored treatment plan to help you reach your recovery goals. Some of the services they offer at this clinic include individual, family, and group therapy, medication management and psychoeducational lectures. If you need to visit frequently to stay healthy and sober, they have an intensive outpatient program.
If your team decides that FDA approved addiction medications can help your recovery journey, they may prescribe buprenorphine, naltrexone or methadone. When combined with counseling and behavioral therapy, these meds can help reduce the physical and psychological aspects of addiction.
One former client says this is the place to go if you’re looking to beat your addictions and improve your behavioral health. Another said his counselor is very supportive and truly cares about his recovery.

Levels of Care
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.
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.

Treatment
Alcoholism
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
Drug Addiction
Drug rehab in Connecticut provides the professional support that is often necessary to break free from drug dependency. With proper treatment, individuals can make changes that restore balance and health to their lives and achieve long-term recovery.
Opioid Addiction
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 Abuse
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.
Clinical Services
Group Therapy
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.
