StayWell Health Center operates its OASIS substance use program at 402 East Main Street in Waterbury, Connecticut. StayWell’s current official site identifies OASIS as a program created with Wellmore Behavioral Health for people with opioid addiction and lists medication-assisted treatment with Suboxone, clinical groups, primary care, peer recovery support, and aftercare. StayWell’s broader substance use services also address alcohol and other substances, but OASIS itself is specifically opioid-focused. Someone seeking treatment only for alcohol should therefore call first so staff can determine whether OASIS or another StayWell behavioral health program is the right entry point.
Medication-Assisted Opioid Treatment
OASIS uses Suboxone as part of treatment for opioid use disorder. Suboxone contains buprenorphine and should not be described as a medication for drinking-related problems. This distinction matters because a person dealing with both opioids and heavy drinking may need different medication decisions for each condition. StayWell states that same-day Suboxone prescriptions may be available when medically indicated, along with behavioral treatment and recovery support. Clients should disclose all substance use so alcohol-related risks are not overlooked while opioid treatment is being planned.
Counseling, Case Management, and Peer Support
StayWell’s current substance use program includes individualized co-occurring treatment plans, group and individual therapy, case management, telehealth options, onsite primary care, and access to peer recovery coaches. These services can help clients work on triggers, routines, mental health symptoms, housing or family problems, and other factors that affect recovery. If drinking is part of the clinical picture, counseling can address it even when the medication component of OASIS is focused on opioids.
Integrated Primary and Behavioral Health Care
Having primary care available onsite can be useful when substance use affects sleep, blood pressure, infections, medication adherence, nutrition, or other medical concerns. A person drinking heavily should tell the medical team because drinking can interact with medications and may create separate withdrawal or health risks. StayWell’s integrated model allows medical and behavioral health needs to be considered together rather than treating addiction as an isolated problem.
Alcohol Withdrawal Requires Separate Assessment
OASIS should not be marketed as an alcohol detoxification unit. Someone with severe physical dependence, previous withdrawal seizures, delirium, or major medical instability may require medically monitored withdrawal before routine outpatient counseling is safe. StayWell can evaluate needs and help connect a patient with another level of care when necessary. People whose only substance problem is drinking should specifically ask which StayWell location currently provides the most appropriate alcohol treatment.
Current Contact, Insurance, and Reduced-Cost Care
The verified address is 402 East Main Street, Waterbury, CT 06702, and StayWell currently lists 959-203-2451 for this site. StayWell accepts Medicare, Medicaid/HUSKY, and most private insurance, accepts self-payment, and offers a sliding-fee discount program for qualifying patients at or below 200 percent of federal poverty guidelines. Adults seeking alcohol rehab or combined opioid and alcohol treatment should confirm intake hours, insurance benefits, medication eligibility, and expected costs before starting services.
