Wheeler Health’s Family Health & Wellness Center at 91 Northwest Drive in Plainville provides integrated medical, behavioral health, and addiction treatment for children, adults, and families. The current Wheeler location page specifically tells people struggling with drugs or alcohol that addiction services are available at the Plainville health center, including counseling and medication-supported recovery. This is a modern community health center rather than the older standalone “Alcohol and Drug Abuse Unit” name found in legacy directory data. Adults seeking addiction treatment can receive care alongside primary and psychiatric services in the same organization.
Individual, Family, and Group Treatment
Wheeler’s addiction services include individual counseling, family counseling, group treatment, and a recovery plan tailored to the patient. Behavioral health clinicians and psychiatric providers can also address anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional regulation, and other concerns that may occur with alcohol addiction. The integrated model is useful when drinking is affecting both mental and physical health because providers can coordinate addiction treatment with routine medical care instead of requiring the patient to navigate completely separate systems.
Medication for Substance Use Disorders
Wheeler identifies Suboxone, which contains buprenorphine, and Vivitrol, which contains naltrexone, as examples of medications used with counseling and recovery support. These medications do not serve the same purpose. Buprenorphine is primarily used for opioid use disorder, while naltrexone may be prescribed for alcohol use disorder as well as opioid-related treatment in appropriate patients. Someone entering for alcohol problems should discuss cravings, liver health, current opioid use, medications, and treatment goals so the prescriber can determine whether naltrexone or another option is appropriate.
Walk-In Behavioral Health Access
The Plainville center currently offers walk-in or scheduled behavioral health evaluations for new patients on weekdays. That can make it easier for someone worried about increasing alcohol use to start an assessment without waiting for a long referral process. During evaluation, the team can determine whether standard outpatient care fits the situation or whether the person needs a more intensive addiction or medical service.
Withdrawal Risk and Higher Levels of Care
Wheeler’s Plainville site should not be presented as an inpatient alcohol detox center. People with previous withdrawal seizures, delirium, severe medical instability, or other signs of dangerous alcohol withdrawal should make that history clear before attempting to stop drinking. The clinical team can help determine whether outpatient alcohol rehab is safe or whether another setting should handle medical stabilization first.
Corrected Address, Phone, and Payment
The verified address is 91 Northwest Drive, Plainville, CT 06062, correcting the malformed ZIP in the older record. Wheeler’s current organization-wide appointment number is 888-793-3500. Wheeler welcomes Medicaid, Medicare, and commercial health insurance and states that no patient will be denied healthcare because of inability to pay. A sliding-fee scale is available based on ability to pay, and self-pay arrangements can be discussed with staff. People seeking alcohol treatment should verify insurance participation, medication availability, appointment timing, and expected personal costs.
