Rushford Meriden Outpatient Addiction Treatment
Rushford operates a current outpatient behavioral health and addiction treatment center at 883 Paddock Avenue in Meriden, Connecticut. Hartford HealthCare’s Behavioral Health Network identifies the location as Rushford Meriden and specifically describes intensive outpatient substance use and addiction treatment for adolescents and adults. Connecticut DMHAS independently lists Rushford Center at the same address and phone. For a person seeking help with alcohol use, the Paddock Avenue program provides community-based treatment without confusing this location with Rushford’s separate detoxification and residential programs elsewhere in Connecticut.
Intensive Outpatient Substance Use Services
The Meriden program offers structured outpatient care for people who need more support than occasional counseling but do not require 24-hour residential supervision. Current Connecticut program information associated with Rushford describes individual, group, and family counseling, monitoring of alcohol and drug use, medication management, medical and psychiatric evaluation, crisis intervention, and connections with community support groups. These services can help a client develop a treatment plan that addresses alcohol use while also considering mental health symptoms, family relationships, physical health, and other substances. The schedule is intended to provide consistent recovery structure while clients remain active in their communities.
Co-Occurring Behavioral Health Treatment
Rushford is part of Hartford HealthCare’s Behavioral Health Network, allowing substance use care to be coordinated with psychiatric and broader behavioral health services. This matters when alcohol misuse occurs together with depression, anxiety, trauma, or another psychiatric condition. Treatment can focus on triggers, coping skills, relapse risk, motivation, and recovery supports while clinicians also evaluate symptoms that may interfere with progress. Medication management may be incorporated when clinically appropriate, but specific medication choices depend on assessment and should not be assumed from the directory listing.
Outpatient Care Versus Detoxification
The 883 Paddock Avenue center should be understood as an outpatient and intensive outpatient site. Rushford has other locations in its system for detoxification, rehabilitation, and residential treatment, but those services should not be attributed automatically to Meriden. A person with severe alcohol dependence, previous withdrawal seizures, delirium, or significant medical instability should disclose that history during intake. Medical withdrawal management may need to occur before ongoing outpatient alcohol treatment can begin safely.
Current Phone, Website, and Payment Verification
The correct current address is 883 Paddock Avenue, Meriden, CT 06450, and both Hartford HealthCare and Connecticut DMHAS list the phone as 203-630-5280. The former Turning Point title and recoveryneverstops.org website are outdated, so this record uses Rushford’s current Hartford HealthCare location page. A current payer list specific to this Paddock Avenue addiction program was not clearly published in the sources reviewed, so payment categories are intentionally left blank instead of being inferred from systemwide insurance information. People seeking alcohol rehab services should call to confirm insurance participation, authorization requirements, program hours, and the recommended alcohol treatment level.
