About Capitol Region Mental Health Center Hartford
Capitol Region Mental Health Center Hartford is a community healthcare provider located in Hartford, Connecticut. This facility truly serves as a hub for all individuals within the local community who need support if they're facing challenges with their mental health or have a co-occurring substance use disorder. You won't be denied care if you cannot pay, and they have discounted sliding scale fees based on your income and family size. They also accept Medicaid and Medicare.
There's an adult inpatient program here as well as adult and youth outpatient programs. They also work with often marginalized individuals within a community including the unhoused and those involved in the criminal justice system.
The services here are broad, helping connect individuals from all walks of life with quality care. For example, they have a Deaf and Hard of Hearing Team. This team works to provide quality yet specialized care if you have a hearing impairment or are deaf and are navigating a behavioral health challenge. All members of this team use American Sign Language to provide clinical services, education and even vocational support.
They also have a forensic services division that offers support such as jail diversion. Highly focused services are applied to help address behavioral health challenges, including struggles associated with substance use. These services and other intervention supports are offered through the Advanced Supervision and Intervention Support Team.
Another aspect of this organization that I appreciate is its advocacy efforts. Many people who seek treatment often struggle to speak up for themselves when they feel they're not being heard. The advocacy program will help you find solutions that arise to grievances you may have against the clinical provider or your care team.
