Rushford at Avon

They provide outpatient and telemedicine. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Hartford is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Hartford, 7.7 miles away.

They treat adults up to and past 65. Ask whether the group sessions are mixed age, because in Avon that often means one room rather than two.

8 other centers are within about 14 miles, the nearest of them 7.7 miles away in Hartford.

Some of what they do can happen remotely. Ask which parts, because it is rarely all of them and the 8 centers near Avon differ on it.

They treat people in Sign language as well as English, which is worth confirming before a first visit because Avon has 8 other centers and not all of them do.

Existing prescriptions are normally continued, and they are reviewed by whoever is prescribing at the program. Where a program has no prescriber of its own, what you take stays with whoever already manages it. Ask who writes your prescriptions after discharge, because a gap at that point is a common problem.

Often, and treatment frequently qualifies as medical leave rather than something you have to explain in detail. Intensive outpatient programs are commonly scheduled before work or in the evening precisely so people can stay employed. Ask the program for a date it will confirm in writing, because a leave request needs a date rather than an intention.
