Wheeler Family Health & Wellness Center in New Britain
Wheeler Health’s current New Britain Family Health & Wellness Center is located at 40 Hart Street in New Britain, Connecticut, replacing the older 75 North Mountain Road record. Wheeler now delivers integrated primary care, behavioral health, and addiction treatment at the Hart Street center. Adults struggling with alcohol can receive individual and family counseling, group treatment, psychiatric support, and medication-assisted treatment while remaining connected with general medical care. This is an outpatient alcohol treatment setting rather than a residential rehab or hospital-based detoxification program.
Addiction Counseling and Medication Treatment
Wheeler’s current addiction program specifically states that it helps people struggling with drugs or alcohol. Treatment can include individual counseling, family counseling, group support, and an individualized recovery plan. Medication-Assisted Treatment combines counseling with medications such as Vivitrol, or naltrexone, and Suboxone when clinically appropriate. Vivitrol can be used in alcohol use disorder treatment, giving eligible clients a medication option alongside behavioral care rather than relying on medication alone.
Recovery Plus in New Britain
The New Britain center also offers Recovery Plus, a flexible person-centered program for people who might traditionally have qualified for Intensive Outpatient Programming but may benefit from a more customized structure. Recovery Plus blends weekly individual therapy, family therapy, structured group support, and integrated medical or psychiatric services coordinated at intake. For someone working on alcohol recovery, this model can provide substantial support without forcing every client into the same fixed IOP schedule. This individualized structure can be useful for people balancing treatment with work, parenting, transportation, or other responsibilities. Peer support and care coordination can strengthen follow-through between visits over time.
Walk-In Access and Medical Coordination
New adult patients can walk in for behavioral health evaluations during weekday access hours. Wheeler’s integrated health-center model allows alcohol treatment to be coordinated with depression, anxiety, physical health conditions, medications, and other substance use when needed. The center should not be mistaken for a medical alcohol detox unit. Anyone with severe alcohol dependence, previous withdrawal seizures, delirium, or significant medical instability should disclose those risks so staff can help identify a medically appropriate starting level of care.
Current Phone, Insurance, and Sliding Fees
The verified address is 40 Hart Street, New Britain, CT 06052. Wheeler’s current Navigation Center can be reached at 860-793-3500 for scheduling and service questions. Wheeler welcomes Medicaid, Medicare, and commercial health insurance and states that no patient is denied health care because of inability to pay. A sliding-fee scale is available based on ability to pay. Before beginning alcohol addiction treatment, callers should confirm current Recovery Plus or counseling availability, insurance coverage, medication benefits, and whether outpatient alcohol care is appropriate for their current withdrawal and recovery needs.
