Where change begins.
Medication-assisted treatment with methadone is the gold standard for opioid addiction when supported by counseling.
Office-based buprenorphine treatment (Suboxone®) is offered in select locations, providing treatment in a setting similar to a physician’s office.
Individual, group and family substance use counseling by professional, licensed clinicians is a critical component of all comprehensive treatment plans.
Medication-assisted treatment is available at programs throughout Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
HCRC is dedicated to delivering quality care for those struggling with addiction to prescription pain medications, heroin, and fentanyl. Medication-assisted treatment reduces the effects of opioid withdrawal and diminishes the cravings which so often lead to relapse. Comprehensive treatment plans address not only the physical dependency to opioids, but also the mental, emotional and spiritual effects addiction has had on our patients’ lives.
