Help for Addiction and Chronic Pain

One of the distinctive services at this clinic is their pain management treatment. Many clients develop an addiction due to pain and improper pain management. The treatment team offers medical pain management for clients with chronic pain. They use Suboxone, often combined with other non opioid medications. For their clients already on opioid therapy, they convert them to Suboxone within the first month, in office.

Suboxone’s advantages include no risk of overdose or misuse, no significant adverse side effects, and no development of a tolerance to the drug. It’s also more effective than most traditional chronic opioids.

Clients with opioid use disorder (OUD) can get medication to undergo outpatient detox. This is a safe and effective method for detoxing from opioids and helping clients get back to a normal life.

Treatment for Dual Diagnosis in Connecticut

The outpatient center treats clients with dual diagnosis (co-occurring) disorders. You’ll first receive a psychosocial evaluation so the team can develop a treatment plan.

Clients receive individual counseling and psychotherapy, family therapy and group relapse prevention therapy. You’ll also receive addiction education while in the program, as well as onsite urine toxicology tests to ensure compliance. Clients are encouraged to participate in 12 Step recovery groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA).
