Hartford Dispensary

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 East Hartford is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Manchester offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.

They prescribe 3 medications: methadone, buprenorphine and naltrexone. What a provider actually stocks changes, so ask for the one you need by name before driving to Manchester.

Yes, they offer a veterans program, one of 11 named programs at this address.

They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Manchester.

Most places run something for families, and the quality of it is one of the clearer differences between two centers. The first conversation with a center can be had by a family member, before the person using is ready to make a call. Write down your questions before the call, because they are easy to lose in it.

What a center can say about you to anyone is narrow, and it is narrow by default rather than on request. That rule exists because people avoided treatment when they could not rely on it, which is worth knowing when you weigh it. Ask who the center is allowed to speak to, and make sure the answer matches what you want.

Coming back after a return to use is one of the most ordinary things an intake line hears. A different level of care is often the right response rather than a repeat of the same program. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can look at what to change rather than repeat.
