About CHR Real Life Real Hope

Central Hub to Begin Recovery in Windsor
The CHR administrative office is your go-to place to contact to get an assessment and referral to any of their many programs and services. Each client gets a medical and psychological assessment that is used to create a specialized treatment plan to suit their needs.
CHR is staffed by over 800 clinicians including therapists, psychiatrists, case managers, and more. They have several outpatient, intervention and residential locations so that you can get help close to home.
Outpatient Addiction Treatment Options in Connecticut
CHR outpatient treatment includes medication-assisted treatment (MAT) which uses Methadone and Buprenorphine (Suboxone) to help clients recover from opioid use. MAT also includes counseling and recovery support services to give you a well-rounded program that leads to long-term sobriety.
Their intensive outpatient programs meet three days a week in small groups to help clients work through recovery roadblocks. This is also a great option for those who are struggling with relapses.
CHR also offers crisis intervention and medication management services.
I’m impressed by their Substance Screening, Treatment Recovery for Youth (SSTRY) program. It’s an eight–month program that focuses on helping teens replace alcohol or drug use with positive social behaviors and activities.
Residential recovery Options for Connecticut
CHR’s residential programs help clients learn the necessary skills to function independently in the community. They have a short-term residential center for women with co-occurring disorders. These seven to 14 days help them gain hope that recovery is possible.
They also run a New Life Program for Women and Children. This four to six month program helps women achieve recovery and develop effective parenting skills. They also offer MAT. This program is for women and their infants and toddlers.
