About Connecticut Counseling Centers Inc

Connecticut Counseling Centers Inc in Danbury, Connecticut, provides a full range of outpatient substance use services and mental health support to guide people on the path to recovery. They offer a whole body approach to addiction treatment, which tackles the physical, behavioral and psychological aspects of substance use. They also have bilingual staff to serve the cultural needs of their Hispanic/Latino clients.

For clients struggling to break free of their chemical dependency on opioids, the Connecticut Counseling Center offers medication assisted treatment (MAT) programs. These specialized substance use programs use medications that decrease cravings and soften withdrawal symptoms, as well as block the euphoric effects of opioids. This helps clients wean off illicit opiates by stopping the constant physical and psychological ‘need’ for the next hit.

Alongside medications, clients undergo a program of counseling including individual, couples, and family therapy. This helps clients identify the underlying triggers of their substance use, work to change their behaviors and heal fractured relationships with loved ones.

Additional services provided in the medicated assisted treatment program include yearly medical assessments, identification and treatment of co-occurring mental health disorders and comprehensive treatment planning. Some of their specialized services include care management for pregnant clients, HIV and hepatitis C education and care and referrals for housing and employment services. Other outpatient substance use services from the Connecticut Counseling Center include a specialty program for pregnant clients struggling with substance use issues and peer mentorship programs for clients undergoing medication assisted treatment.
