About Community Mental Health Affiliates Adult Services
Community Mental Health Affiliates Adult Services is an outpatient addiction treatment and behavioral health center at 233 Main Street in New Britain, Connecticut.
Its adult programs include an intensive outpatient program running four hours a day at least three days a week, general outpatient counseling and medication management, and medication assisted treatment with Suboxone and Vivitrol.
Behavioral Health Home
CMHA is the first fully Joint Commission accredited Behavioral Health Home in the state. They are also the first certified community behavioral health clinic in Connecticut.
In 2023, it was the only provider in Connecticut to receive two $4 million CCBHC awards from SAMHSA. This helped to fund new programs for older adults, veterans and justice involved youth.
The Behavioral Health Home program pairs you with staff who connect their addiction or mental health treatment to primary medical care, wellness education and tobacco cessation.
This matters most for adults with severe mental illness alongside substance use, where untreated medical issues can affect your recovery.
Bilingual Addiction Treatment
CMHA runs a Latino/Latina substance abuse program that offers bilingual and bicultural outpatient addiction care, with culturally appropriate services for Spanish speakers built into its adult programs.
In central Connecticut, where Spanish speaking residents frequently encounter English only treatment options, it is important to have care that's delivered by staff working within the client's language and cultural context.
If you're a Spanish speaking person and comparing New Britain providers, this can change whether treatment is genuinely accessible.
CMHA serves New Britain and Waterbury across 10 locations. They accept Medicare and Medicaid/Husky, most private insurance and sliding scale payment.
