UCFS Healthcare Colchester Behavioral Health Center provides outpatient behavioral health care at 212 Upton Road, Suite C, in Colchester, Connecticut. The current UCFS location page confirms this address and the direct phone number, while Connecticut’s current substance-use facility licensing data also lists 212 Upton Road as an active substance abuse care location. For someone seeking help with alcohol use, this is best understood as a community outpatient setting rather than a residential alcohol rehab or inpatient detoxification program.
Alcohol and Substance Use Counseling
UCFS offers individual, couple, family, and group therapy through its outpatient behavioral health services. The organization also provides psychiatric evaluation and medication management when clinically appropriate. A person whose alcohol use is affecting mood, relationships, work, family life, or overall functioning can begin with an assessment and develop a treatment plan around the issues that are actually present. Because the Colchester site is state-listed for substance use care, alcohol concerns may be addressed within this broader behavioral health framework.
The clinical methods published by UCFS include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Seeking Safety, Solution Focused Therapy, EMDR, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and other trauma-responsive approaches. These options can be useful when alcohol use is connected with stress, trauma, depression, anxiety, poor coping skills, or recurring behavioral patterns. Treatment is individualized, so an alcohol treatment plan may involve counseling, psychiatric support, family participation, or a combination of services rather than one standard program for every patient.
Choosing the Right Level of Care
UCFS should not be confused with a medically managed alcohol detox center. People who may be at risk for dangerous withdrawal, or who need 24-hour residential supervision, should be evaluated for a more intensive level of care when clinically appropriate locally. For patients who are medically stable and appropriate for outpatient treatment, the Colchester center can provide ongoing therapy close to home. UCFS also operates medication-assisted treatment services elsewhere within its health system, but its current MAT page does not identify Colchester as a listed MAT site; callers should therefore confirm which medication services are actually available at this location.
Insurance, Access, and Contact Information
UCFS states that most insurance is accepted and that a sliding fee scale is available. Its patient information also addresses Medicare and Medicaid billing and assistance with Medicaid/HUSKY enrollment. Coverage can vary by service, so patients seeking alcohol counseling should verify benefits, authorization requirements, and any out-of-pocket responsibility before starting care.
The Colchester Behavioral Health Center is located at 212 Upton Road, Suite C, Colchester, CT 06415. The current location phone is 860-537-7676.
