860-980-1339About Wheeler Clinic
The Wheeler Clinic offers medical and dental care, behavioral health, and addiction treatment for all ages. They are located in Hartford, Connecticut. They’re on a large campus in the west end of Hartford.
They can link you to many other Wheeler programs in the plaza such as gambling treatment, mobile crisis intervention, parenting support, and family violence education programs. I appreciate that they provide LGBTQIA-responsive services and care for seniors.
Medication-Assisted Treatment in Connecticut
You can get started with medication assisted treatment (MAT) at the Wheeler Clinic. You’ll be prescribed FDA-approved medication to help you recover from an opioid use disorder.
There are several medication options which your provider will discuss with you that can include Suboxone and Brixadi. MAT has been proven to be an effective way for clients to reach long-term recovery. It also helps to prevent overdose and relapse.
Substance Use Treatment in Hartford
The Wheeler Clinic offers individual, group and family therapy for substance abuse. I appreciate that they are fully integrated with medical care so that you can focus on all aspects of your health. They even feature Spravato if you have any conditions related to mental health depression.
One of the best offerings at this clinic is their same-day access. They allow walk-in clients to come and get a first-time evaluation every weekday.

Levels of Care
-
Inpatient
Inpatient and residential programs provide round-the-clock medical and emotional support as you live at the treatment facility. This level of care may be recommended if you have severe addictions or mental health conditions since it removes outside distractions and allows you to focus solely on therapy.
-
Outpatient
In outpatient therapy, you’ll attend therapy sessions several times each week while living at home. This is ideal if you have a strong support system and a lower risk of relapse. Outpatient treatment offers flexibility to maintain work, school or family obligations.
-
Dual Diagnosis
Dual diagnosis programs address substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions simultaneously. This integrated approach to care improves the likelihood of long term recovery and stability by addressing the root causes of addiction.
Detox Service Setting

Inpatient Detox
Inpatient detox occurs in a dedicated treatment facility. You’ll live there around the clock and receive intensive medical support and supervision to help manage your withdrawal symptoms. It is suitable for individuals with moderate to severe addictions as it ensures a stable detox environment.
-
Outpatient Detox
Outpatient detox gives you access to medically supervised withdrawal services while still allowing you to live at home. You’ll attend a clinic for treatment and monitoring. This flexible option is suitable for those with mild to moderate withdrawal symptoms who have strong support systems.
-
MAT
Medication assisted treatment combines medication and counseling to manage withdrawal and reduce cravings for opioid and alcohol addiction. Medications may include methadone, buprenorphine or naltrexone. MAT is tailored to your needs so you can actively participate in your treatment journey.
