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, and nothing else within 14 miles of East Hartford offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.

They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in East Hartford often still has to be in person.

They work in Spanish as well as English. Ask whether the group sessions in East Hartford are in Spanish too, or only the one to one ones.

Outpatient only, and nothing within 14 miles of East Hartford has beds either, so a residential stay would mean traveling further than that.

Marketing language is nearly identical across the field, so the comparison has to be made on specifics. A program that answers precisely about its clinicians and vaguely about its results is behaving well. Ask what kind of person this program would turn down, because a real answer exists.

Most people who recover have more than one attempt behind them. The useful question after a recurrence is what was missing, and the answer is often medication or aftercare. Ask what they do differently for somebody who has been through a program before.

Treatment often qualifies for job protected medical leave, though the rules depend on the employer's size and your length of service. An employer is generally entitled to dates and a clinician's confirmation, not to a diagnosis. Ask whether a schedule outside working hours exists before ruling treatment out.
