About Root Center for Advanced Recovery – Doctors Clinic

The Root Center for Advanced Recovery addresses substance use and mental health disorders, with the goal of getting to the root of the issue and focusing on the whole person. They have many locations throughout Connecticut. The Lafayette Street Clinic in Hartford, Connecticut provides outpatient services to adults and teens, and recognizes that every person’s path to recovery will look different. Many clients have positive reactions during their time at the center, and commend it for its nonjudgmental environment, compassionate staff members, and accessibility of services.

Services for Teens and Young Adults

Youths’ mental health is especially important during their developmental years, and at the Root Center you can find resources that support teens ages 13 to 17. There is a teen specific intensive outpatient program that addresses mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, family stress, and grief.

Medication management is also available for teens struggling with substance use. Medication assisted treatment (MAT) can help young adults reduce opioid use and manage withdrawal symptoms. I think it’s beneficial that MAT is also combined with monthly meetings with a counselor to help develop a personalized treatment plan that meets your needs.

Whole Person Care

At the Root Center, ensuring different facets of your life are supported is a top priority. These could look like medical, financial, spiritual, and social concerns that are all equally important to address because they’ll all contribute to your long term stability and sobriety. I think it’s noteworthy that recovery is seen as a journey and that every little step taken is an example of courage and resilience.

Getting involved in the local community can also be a healing part of the recovery journey. Nearby Bushnell Park can be a relaxing green space to enjoy walks and connect with friends.

Addiction Treatment Programs

Adult Program

For those who have a substance use disorder, an adult program in Connecticut offers crucial support. Designed to treat individuals 18 and older, these rehab programs help adults learn how to live their lives free from dependence on substances.

Alcoholism

Alcohol rehab in Connecticut is not a one-size-fits-all solution. That’s why a variety of programs and treatment methods are available to meet you where you are. Through personalized treatment, alcohol rehab is designed to help you achieve sobriety and maintain long-term recovery from alcohol use disorder.

Men's Rehab

Adults who attend men’s rehab in Connecticut have the opportunity to connect with other men who are struggling with similar addiction issues. This is important for recovery, as men are often more comfortable talking about their struggles with other men.

Women's Rehab

Women often find it easier to work through their addiction issues in women’s rehab in Connecticut. Surrounded by other women who understand their struggles, they can feel free to share openly and find support.

Opioid Treatment

When you attend opioid rehab in Connecticut, you’re provided with the tools that are necessary to break free from opioid addiction. Treatment offers accountability, structure, and a sense of community. Methods typically include medication assisted treatment, individual therapy, and group counseling.

Drug Rehab

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.

Administrative Services

Administrative Services are ancillary services provided by multidisciplinary teams of professionals, including clinicians, social workers, therapists, and case managers. These services ensure clients receive seamless, comprehensive care across all stages of recovery. Programs may include transportation assistance, intervention planning, insurance verification, supportive housing and employment, and discharge planning and support.

Levels of Care

Outpatient Rehab

Many individuals turn to outpatient rehab in Connecticut after they complete an inpatient program. This treatment is less intensive and usually involves attending several counseling sessions per week and attending a support group such as NA or AA. Outpatient rehab may be short or long-term, depending on the needs of the individual.

Dual Diagnosis & Mental Health

When you have a co-occurring disorder, you have both a substance abuse disorder and a mental health disorder. Dual diagnosis in Connecticut specializes in treating both conditions simultaneously, which is crucial for successful recovery.

Detox & MAT

Drug rehab in Connecticut typically starts with detox. This is the process of ridding your body of all addictive substances. This happens under supervision, so medical staff can treat withdrawal symptoms and help you through the process.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a type of outpatient treatment program in Connecticut that combines the benefits of an inpatient program with those of an outpatient program. While in a PHP, you spend several hours multiple times a week undergoing treatment for drug or alcohol addiction, then you can return home.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
