Community Health Resources Enfield is a major outpatient behavioral health and substance use location at 153 Hazard Avenue in Enfield, Connecticut 06082. CHR’s current location directory lists the direct office number as 860-253-5020, while its statewide Triage Center can be reached at 877-884-3571. Connecticut DMHAS also identifies the Hazard Avenue site as an opioid and substance use walk-in assessment location. The center serves people who need outpatient care for addiction, mental health conditions, trauma-related concerns, or co-occurring disorders.
Outpatient Alcohol Treatment in Enfield
CHR states that it offers complete care for alcohol use disorder and other substance use problems. At the outpatient level, care can begin with clinical assessment and an individualized plan, followed by individual, family, or group therapy, psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and recovery support. The Enfield office is CHR’s largest outpatient location and provides a broad range of behavioral health services for people of different ages.
For adults whose alcohol use requires more support than occasional counseling, CHR lists Intensive Outpatient/IOP Plus among its adult services. This level can provide added structure while allowing a patient to remain in the community. CHR also treats co-occurring psychiatric conditions, so alcohol treatment can be coordinated with care for depression, anxiety, trauma effects, or other mental health symptoms rather than forcing the person to seek unrelated services from separate systems.
Medication and Substance Use Services
The Enfield campus is one of CHR’s established medication-assisted treatment locations for opioid use disorder, with current program materials listing methadone, buprenorphine, and Vivitrol options for opioid addiction. Those medications should not be interpreted as identical treatment for every patient. People seeking help specifically for alcohol use disorder should receive an individualized assessment so clinicians can recommend appropriate therapy, medication, recovery supports, or another level of care based on diagnosis and medical history.
CHR has also incorporated New Directions, a long-standing Enfield-area program focused on drug and alcohol treatment, intervention, prevention, education, and referrals. CHR describes this work as trauma informed, responsive to co-occurring disorders, and recovery oriented. Together with the broader outpatient services at Hazard Avenue, this gives Enfield residents several ways to enter care before alcohol or other substance use causes additional harm.
When a Higher Level of Care Is Needed
The Hazard Avenue clinic is not a 24-hour alcohol detox unit. A person with severe withdrawal symptoms, a history of alcohol withdrawal seizures, delirium, or serious medical instability may require medically supervised withdrawal management before outpatient care is appropriate. CHR operates a wider continuum of residential and substance use programs and can help direct patients when outpatient treatment is not sufficient.
Insurance and Scheduling
CHR’s current materials state that Medicaid, HUSKY, Medicare, and most major health insurance plans are accepted as partial or full payment for services. The organization also maintains sliding-fee information for patients who qualify. Anyone seeking treatment should verify plan benefits and current program availability before the first visit. Patients can call the Enfield office at 860-253-5020 or use the CHR Triage Center at 877-884-3571 for assessment and referral assistance.
