ccar-Hartford recovery community center Hartford

This is a community-based recovery organization rather than a hospital ward. The Hartford location gives people with a substance use disorder a place to build practical supports around daily life: peer mentoring, recovery education, support meetings and help with goals such as employment. Staff treat each person's situation as its own and shape the help around what someone actually needs.

Much of the work is peer-led. People who have built their own recovery help others do the same, which means the tone is conversational rather than clinical. Alongside that, the organization runs advocacy and community education aimed at reducing stigma and improving public policy around addiction. The center also serves family members and loved ones, not only the person who uses substances.

This is community support, not medical detox, so for some people it works best next to or following clinical care. If you are unsure how to begin, the helpline can tell you what this center does and does not offer, at no charge.
