CRT Asian Family Services and Behavioral Health in Hartford
Community Renewal Team provides outpatient behavioral health and substance use treatment at 330 Market Street in Hartford, Connecticut. This directory record originated as Asian Family Services, a CRT program created to improve culturally responsive care for Asian American and immigrant communities. CRT’s current Health and Wellness information describes multilingual counseling in English, Spanish, Cambodian, Mandarin, and Vietnamese, while its current Behavioral Health Services page identifies 330 Market Street as the site for outpatient and intensive outpatient recovery services. Adults looking for help with alcohol use can receive assessment and counseling in a community setting rather than entering a residential alcohol rehab program.
Outpatient and Intensive Outpatient Services
CRT currently offers both outpatient programming and Intensive Outpatient Programming for mental health and substance use disorders. Services include individual and family counseling, group counseling, psychiatric care, medication management, case management, crisis management, peer support, substance use diagnosis and assessment, hospital discharge planning, and aftercare. Treatment intensity is based on clinical need. For a person whose alcohol use is affecting health, relationships, work, or emotional stability, the assessment process can help determine whether regular outpatient alcohol treatment is sufficient or whether a more structured IOP schedule is appropriate.
Culturally Responsive Recovery Support
The Asian Family Services history of the program is important because language and cultural barriers can interfere with treatment engagement. CRT continues to emphasize multilingual access and translation services. A client discussing alcohol misuse may also be dealing with immigration stress, family expectations, trauma, depression, anxiety, or other concerns that influence recovery. Clinicians can incorporate these issues into an individualized treatment plan instead of treating alcohol use as an isolated problem. Family participation may also be useful when communication patterns or cultural expectations affect the recovery environment.
Medication, Relapse Prevention, and Referrals
CRT’s broader Behavioral Health program includes Medication-Assisted Treatment, although its current MAT program is primarily described for opioid use disorder. People seeking alcohol addiction treatment should therefore ask directly which medication options, if any, are appropriate for their diagnosis. Counseling and peer services can address cravings, triggers, coping strategies, relapse warning signs, and recovery planning. If alcohol withdrawal risk or another medical condition requires a higher level of care, CRT can help coordinate an appropriate referral rather than representing this outpatient clinic as a medical detox facility.
Admissions, Payment, and Contact Information
The current Behavioral Health Services phone is 860-761-7908. CRT states that adults of all income levels may apply, medical insurance is accepted but not required, and uninsured clients are asked to pay according to income. The organization also states that it accepts most insurance plans and has assistance available for many uninsured or underinsured patients. Anyone calling about alcohol counseling should confirm current insurance participation, appointment availability, whether outpatient or IOP care is recommended, and any expected out-of-pocket cost. People with a history of severe alcohol withdrawal, seizures, delirium, or other medical instability should disclose that information during screening so the safest treatment setting can be identified.
