Connecticut Counseling Centers Inc

They are set up for 2 levels: outpatient and telemedicine. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Meriden, 2 offer a bed.

They do not, and neither does anywhere else listed around Meriden. Withdrawal management and treatment are often two separate admissions, and this is one of those times.

They treat pregnant and postpartum clients. Ask whether prenatal care is on site or coordinated with somewhere else in Meriden.

Yes. They treat people in Spanish. Confirm it for the first appointment specifically, because in Meriden that can depend on who is rostered that day.

They prescribe methadone, buprenorphine and naltrexone, which means the medication side is handled here rather than referred out to somewhere else in Meriden.

The nearest other center is 3.5 miles away, in Meriden, and there are 8 inside 14 miles.

Treatment is priced by program rather than by night, and the programs differ a great deal. Many centers will spread a balance over months, and those terms are negotiable more often than people assume. It is worth asking about a sliding scale even where nothing is advertised.

Somebody works through a short list, and the clinical detail comes later at an assessment. Understating the amount is the most common mistake on that call, and it leads to the wrong level of care being offered. Ask for the name of whoever you spoke to, so the second call starts where the first ended.
