About Wheeler Clinic – Asylum Avenue
The Wheeler Clinic offers medical and dental care, behavioral health, and addiction treatment for all ages. They are located in Hartford, Connecticut. They’re on a large campus in the west end of Hartford.
They can link you to many other Wheeler programs in the plaza such as gambling treatment, mobile crisis intervention, parenting support, and family violence education programs. I appreciate that they provide LGBTQIA-responsive services and care for seniors.
Medication-Assisted Treatment in Connecticut
You can get started with medication assisted treatment (MAT) at the Wheeler Clinic. You’ll be prescribed FDA-approved medication to help you recover from an opioid use disorder.
There are several medication options which your provider will discuss with you that can include Suboxone and Brixadi. MAT has been proven to be an effective way for clients to reach long-term recovery. It also helps to prevent overdose and relapse.
Substance Use Treatment in Hartford
The Wheeler Clinic offers individual, group and family therapy for substance abuse. I appreciate that they are fully integrated with medical care so that you can focus on all aspects of your health. They even feature Spravato if you have any conditions related to mental health depression.
One of the best offerings at this clinic is their same-day access. They allow walk-in clients to come and get a first-time evaluation every weekday.
