Community Health Resources currently provides medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder at its 1310 Main Street outpatient center in Willimantic, Connecticut. This is the current successor to older CHR medication services formerly associated with 433 Valley Street. CHR’s 2025 MAT material specifically identifies the Willimantic program as offering Suboxone and Vivitrol within an opioid-focused treatment model that also includes outpatient therapy, education, case management, coaching, and peer support. Because this program is designed around opioid addiction, it should not be mislabeled as a general alcohol medication clinic even though some clients may also have concerns related to drinking.
Medication-Assisted Opioid Treatment
CHR describes its MAT program as a three-part approach combining medication, outpatient therapy, and recovery support. In Willimantic, the listed medications are Suboxone and Vivitrol. Suboxone contains buprenorphine and is used for opioid use disorder, not drinking-related addiction. Vivitrol contains naltrexone and can have other clinical uses, but CHR’s official Willimantic MAT material presents this specific program as treatment for opiate dependence. Clients should not assume that the presence of Vivitrol means every treatment need related to drinking is handled through the MAT program.
Counseling, Coaching, and Peer Support
Medication is only one component of CHR’s model. The current program includes outpatient therapy, including intensive therapy when appropriate, education, case management, coaching, and peer support. A client who uses opioids and also drinks heavily should disclose both substances so counseling can address the full recovery picture. Drinking may affect medication safety, psychiatric symptoms, relationships, and relapse risk even when opioid use disorder is the primary diagnosis being treated.
When Alcohol Is the Primary Concern
A person whose main problem is alcohol should tell CHR’s intake team that clearly. CHR offers broader substance use assessment and treatment through its outpatient system and can determine whether general counseling, another outpatient service, residential treatment, or a different provider is more appropriate. Someone seeking alcohol rehab should not enroll in opioid MAT simply because the program is located within a comprehensive addiction-treatment organization.
Alcohol Withdrawal Safety
The Willimantic MAT clinic is outpatient and is not a 24-hour alcohol detoxification facility. Severe alcohol withdrawal can require continuous medical monitoring, particularly for someone with previous seizures, delirium, or serious medical illness. Those risks should be disclosed before abruptly stopping alcohol so CHR can help identify a safer level of care.
Current Location and Payment Information
The verified current location is 1310 Main Street, Willimantic, CT 06226, with local phone 860-456-7200 and CHR’s triage line at 1-877-884-3571. CHR’s current MAT material states that HUSKY, Medicare, and most major health insurance plans are accepted. CHR’s financial policy also provides for self-pay and an income-based sliding-fee scale. People seeking help with opioids and drinking problems should confirm insurance benefits, medication eligibility, counseling availability, and whether separate alcohol treatment services are recommended during intake.
