Medical briefcase icon 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.

Heart icon Treatment

alcohol iconAlcoholism

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.

drugs iconDrug 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.

check iconDual Diagnosis

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

mental-health iconMental Health and Substance Abuse

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

opium iconOpioid 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.

Hand holding medical sign icon Clinical Services

inpatient-file iconCognitive Behavioral Therapy

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.

intervention iconGroup 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.

mental-health iconIndividual Therapy

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.

house-medical iconTrauma Therapy

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.

family iconFamily Therapy

Family therapy sessions work to strengthen the family unit by addressing addiction related conflicts and fostering support between family members. Your therapist guides family members in developing effective communication strategies and creating an environment that aids in your loved one's recovery.

I was there for a while and they change my psychiatric twice for no reason. I don't even know who they are because they keep rescheduling my appointments and they do not tell me why.

I am no longer surprised that the Google reviews are low. The program participant that I referred exhibited symptoms and did not pose danger to others. The participant was started on a medication and within days was discharged without aftercare or referral while in a state of crisis. The program posed a danger to the participant.

NOT A SAFE SPACE! Only come here if you enjoy a hostile environment where no one listens to you (ie constantly cutting you off and not giving you the space to speak your mind) while responding to you in a very condescending/patronizing tone.

This place is absolute garbage, especially Dr. Mike and Kelly Prior. Absolute horrendous attention to the hippocratic oath, put me on dangerous meds, and had no patience to hear my concerns with my treatment or diagnosis. Completely unwilling to listen or complete an accurate medical history to get the full spectrum of your behavioral health needs.They listen to shoddy science and are not up to pace with contemporary medical literature concerning the overdiagnosis of psychiatric conditions in adult populations. All of this seemingly just to get money from you and entwine you in the carcinogenic, cold, clinical, sterile grips.STAY AWAY AT ALL COSTS BE FOREWARNED.

Brought up concerns about potentially having ADHD, and I was accused of seeking out drugs when all I wanted was answers. Recently got a new psychiatrist at a different practice, and within weeks I was diagnosed with ADHD.

I was going here for almost 2 years and no showed once because I wasn t given a reminder and forgot, then I showed up for my next appt at 7:50 where I was told it was supposed to be for 7:40 and that I was discharged and couldn t come back. I asked to speak to the doctor (Dr. Mike) but he refused so I sat there for an hour and he finally came out to talk to me but he didn t even really care to try to help me continue to see him just said there was nothing he could do. Receptionists are lazy and rude. Also I had tried to talk to him on the phone a few months ago about possible interactions with my medicine and cold medication but never got a call back. Don t let them fool you they don t actually care about you you re just a payment.

my adult daughter missed an appt (they always did contact her day before as reminder - mentally ill people don't often stay on track), never contacted her before or after the appt. sent her meds to pharm in january. she called office early feb & they said she was dismissed because he missed an appt.she apologized & said she didn't recall having an appt & they always used to send a reminder. It was bascially "tough luck" no meds and no appt for you and she stands to lose her job without the meds. Mike is good. Policies for mentally ill people are horrble

On January 10, 2023, I had the unfortunate experience of meeting with Morgan Jennings, APRN. Even though I had never had a prior appointment with this supposed nurse practitioner, she refused to refill a prescription for a medication that I had been taking (with great success) for 3 months, citing holistic concerns. I found her reasoning laughable, especially since 3 psychiatrists over a 15-year period had no problem issuing a prescription for this medication with full knowledge of my previous eating disorder! Amazing how someone with far less medical training and expertise knows more than board-certified physicians! She also indicated in her after-visit summary that I appeared unkempt (disheveled). I apologize for not meeting Ms. Jennings grooming standards, however, I truly doubt this overly critical, judgmental b**ch will be appearing on the cover of Vogue anytime in the near future. However, thank you for the insulting comments!Since Hartford Healthcare has not bothered to respond to the plethora of 1-star reviews left within the last year, I m assuming that we are not worth their effort because we are perceived as mentally ill or because we receive Husky/Medicaid, or both. However, I advise anyone seeking redress for their egregious neglect to consider proceeding as I have by contacting the CT Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services, the CT Department of Public Health, and finally CT Husky Healthcare to file formal complaints against this clinic, as well as the individual providers. Currently I have a meeting scheduled with a Legal Aid counselor to discuss any civil litigation related to Ms Jennings abrupt dismissal of my medication without initiating a slow withdrawal to mitigate any adverse side effects.

These more recent reviews are really bothersome. But I think I know why.Look, in early 2015, this place literally saved my life. I just completely cracked in half one day, mentally, and was on the verge of suicide. I missed ten weeks of work on FMLA. But between intensive outpatient work, medication management, and solid follow-up, I returned to a normal life in a few months.That said: the four or five key people in my recovery (Social workers, psych PA, MD, prescription manager etc) no longer work there. They dropped like flies, one-by-one, all going to other practices, one as far as Florida.Granted the information I have is anecdotal, but the turnover here since, let's say 2018, has probably made things worse. And then the pandemic made healthcare in America worse as a whole because it exposed us as a nation of 330 million narcissists, half of whom can't heed simple medical advice.So I think things have changed here. That's too bad. But a decade ago, I was downright eager to come here...

It is nearly impossible to describe this place without using profanity. I would only recommend these people to my worst enemy.
