About Wheeler Health – Family Health & Wellness Center

Wheeler Clinic Family Health and Wellness Centers offers accredited behavioral health and addiction treatment to individuals ages 12 and older. This includes LGBTQIA+ individuals, couples, and families, regardless of their gender or ethnicity. Dual-diagnosis individuals and those with co-occurring mental health issues can also receive treatment here. Medicare, Medicaid, and most commercial and state insurance providers are accepted. Sliding scale payment options are also available for those eligible. You'll find them out in Bristol, Connecticut.

Intensive outpatient services here typically involve individual, group, and family therapy to help clients get to the bottom of their addiction and any concurrent mental health issues they may have. Adult clients may also access medication assisted treatment here for opioid and alcohol addiction, if needed. This treatment typically features individual and group therapy, combined with a course of FDA-approved naltrexone, buprenorphine, and naloxone.

The center’s LifeLine program specifically supports women and their children who may be experiencing substance use and psychiatric disorders. Various physical and mental health assessments are also offered, along with addiction education sessions for participants, their children, partners and families, too.

They also offer another program called a PROUD Path to Recovery, which offers targeted substance abuse support to expectant mothers and postpartum individuals with infants under the age of one who are actively struggling with or may have a history of addiction or opioid use. This involves recovery coaching, prenatal health, parenting education, and additional support and referrals to community and social services.

They also offer same-day walk-in behavioral health services, with first-time evaluations taking place every week, Monday through Friday.

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 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.

EMDR Therapy

EMDR Therapy is a neurobiological treatment modality used to address trauma disorders and related mental and behavioral health challenges. Short for eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, EMDR is designed to help clients cope with distressing memories and emotions, including fear, sadness, and anger. EMDR may help clients in addiction recovery manage the psychological and emotional triggers that contribute to substance misuse and/or addiction relapse.

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.

Drug & Alcohol Intervention

For those looking to get a loved one started on a path toward recovery, intervention services in Connecticut can prove invaluable. Professional intervention specialists can help you facilitate an intervention, access resources to develop a treatment plan, and assist with admittance to drug rehab in Connecticut.
