About Rushford Center at Meriden
The Rushford Center, part of Hartford HealthCare, treats substance abuse and mental health conditions for teens and adults in Meriden, Connecticut. Their outpatient program offers flexibility for those who want to live at home and continue working or attending school while getting treatment. Guests have the option of intensive outpatient or general outpatient treatment, depending on the needs of the individual.
Medication assisted treatment is available to help manage withdrawal symptoms and reduce drug cravings. This service helps you stabilize and remain involved in treatment and other regular activities. The medications are provided at local pharmacies for convenience. They use the FDA-approved medicine Suboxone for symptoms.
A personalized treatment plan addresses your needs and recovery goals. For those needing another level of care, they can refer you to one of their other locations for higher-intensity treatment.
Individual therapy sessions help you uncover the root causes of your addiction challenges and assist with healthy coping skills, recognizing substance abuse triggers and learning relapse prevention methods.
Group therapy sessions are included in the program, which offers support from a network of members focused on the same goal of recovery. They can also provide valuable feedback related to addiction experiences.
They offer holistic approaches that address the physical, mental and spiritual aspects of healing. You may attend art therapy and learn meditation and mindfulness for stress reduction and self reflection and receive nutrition education for overall health and wellbeing.
A unique part of their program is the Narcan training and prescription that each guest receives. This medication can be life saving when someone has overdosed and not every treatment center offers this service.
They provide education and support for family members and loved ones affected by addiction and offer tools and resources to help with your recovery journey.
