Wheeler Family Health & Wellness Center in Hartford
Wheeler Health’s Family Health & Wellness Center at 43 Woodland Street in Hartford provides integrated primary care, behavioral health, and addiction treatment for people of all ages. The current Hartford location page specifically identifies addiction treatment as one of the services available at this health center. Adults struggling with alcohol can receive counseling, behavioral health support, and medication-assisted treatment in the same organization that can also address physical health and psychiatric needs. This integrated model can be useful when alcohol use affects sleep, mood, chronic medical conditions, family relationships, or the ability to stay engaged in routine health care.
Alcohol Addiction Counseling and MAT
Wheeler currently states that its addiction team helps people struggling with drugs or alcohol through individual counseling, family counseling, group treatment, and individualized planning. Medication-Assisted Treatment combines medication with counseling and support. Wheeler specifically offers Vivitrol, or injectable naltrexone, for alcohol use disorder across its Family Health & Wellness Centers. For someone seeking alcohol treatment, medication may be considered as one part of a broader recovery plan rather than as a stand-alone solution.
Integrated Mental Health and Medical Care
The Hartford center also provides psychiatric and behavioral health services, including individual, family, and group treatment. Clinicians and psychiatric providers can address anxiety, depression, trauma, and other conditions that may occur alongside substance misuse. Primary care is available in the same health center, allowing patients to discuss medical concerns that could affect recovery. This coordination can be especially valuable when drinking and mental health symptoms reinforce one another or when a patient has multiple medications and health conditions that should be considered together.
Walk-In Access and Level-of-Care Decisions
Wheeler currently allows new adults to walk in for behavioral health evaluations Monday through Friday during designated hours, and existing patients can schedule through the Navigation Center. The Hartford site is outpatient and should not be confused with a residential alcohol rehab or hospital detox program. A person with severe alcohol dependence, prior withdrawal seizures, delirium, or medical instability should tell staff during evaluation so a safer withdrawal-management or inpatient referral can be considered before outpatient alcohol treatment begins.
Current Contact and Payment Options
The correct Wheeler Navigation Center number is 860-793-3500, replacing the unrelated 860-728-5199 number in the old directory record. Wheeler’s official Hartford page confirms the address as 43 Woodland Street, Hartford, CT 06105. The health center welcomes Medicaid, Medicare, and commercial health insurance, and Wheeler states that patients will not be denied health care because of inability to pay. A sliding-fee scale is available based on ability to pay. Callers seeking alcohol addiction services should verify their specific insurance network, medication coverage, appointment availability, and whether the Hartford outpatient model matches their current clinical needs.
