A terrible experience, every week we have different therapist and we have to start from the beggining and that makes us lose more time. Very disappointing
About the Facility
Rushford Center (now called Hartford Healthcare, Rushford) is a drug and alcohol treatment center that supports adults and adolescents with substance use disorders. They also provide valuable community resources in Meriden, such as referrals, mental health services, and primary care.
Addiction-related services at Rushford Center include mental health assessments, counseling, intensive outpatient, and medication-assisted treatment.
Mental Health Assessment and Counseling
Assessments help clinicians to evaluate participants’ mental health for substance use disorder, the severity, and any co-occurring conditions, to determine the best treatment plan. Therapeutic services may include individual, group, and family counseling.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
The IOP program is open to adults (18+) and teens (13 to 17) for the treatment of substance use disorders. Participants attend individual and group treatment sessions for improved coping skills, peer support, and recovery support meetings. Sessions are held three to four days a week.
Medication-Assisted Treatment for Addiction
Rushford offers a medication-assisted treatment (MAT) rehab program called MATCH (medication-assisted treatment close to home), which includes counseling, support groups, and medication management in an outpatient setting. The MAT program is appropriate for alcohol and opioid addictions. The program is available to adults and adolescents. As participants progress and stabilize in the program, in-person office appointments tend to become less frequent.
Treatment
Alcoholism
If the body experiences withdrawal symptoms in the absense of alcohol, they are considered alcohol dependent. This is one of the defining characteristics of alcoholism, also knosn as alcohol use disorder (AUD). If a person has reached this state, they typically need professional treatment to recover. Alcohol rehab in Connecticut can provide a safe, supervised detox to withdraw from alcohol, followed by inpatient or outpatient rehab, then a maintenance program.
Drug Addiction
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.
Dual Diagnosis
In Connecticut, dual-diagnosis addiction treatment recognizes the importance of addressing both mental health and substance use disorders in their specialized rehab programs, including outpatient, inpatient, medically assisted detox, and partial hospitalization. Using evidence-based therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and experiential therapies, addiction experts address substance use disorders and mental health challenges simultaneously, improving recovery outcomes and reducing the risk of relapse.
Mental Health and Substance Abuse
Connecticut’s dual-diagnosis rehabs typically provide comprehensive treatment for mental health and substance abuse. These specialized facilities integrate personalized treatment plans, psychiatric care, with therapeutic treatments like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), family counseling, and educational groups. Usually there are inpatient or outpatient programs depending upon whether you also need medically-supervised detox and have other support needs. A rehab’s clinical team can provide a comprehensive assessment to determine the appropriate level of care and medical support you may need.
Opioid Addiction
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Levels of Care
Outpatient
Outpatient rehabs offer a wide variety of therapeutic programs to address clients’ unique and evolving needs. They are generally most effective for clients who have completed inpatient treatment and are medically stable. Most outpatient treatment centers prioritize addiction counseling and recovery-focused life skills training. Many also provide medication assisted treatment (MAT) for clients in alcohol and opioid recovery. Evening, night, and weekend sessions are commonly offered to accommodate clients’ schedules.
Inpatient
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.
Clinical Services
Couples Therapy
Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.
Family Therapy
Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.
Group Therapy
Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
Individual Therapy
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
Trauma Therapy
Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.
