Root Center for Advanced Recovery

This Hartford clinic treats Connecticut mature individuals facing substance use and co-occurring disorders. Its approach combines both concerns into a single plan of care instead of treating them as separate problems. That matters because the two often reinforce each other, and a plan addressing only one side tends to leave the other unaddressed.

The center describes its work as compassionate and supportive, with treatment shaped around each person's situation. That said, the focus is outpatient care, so it may suit someone who does not need supervision around the clock. If you are not certain that outpatient care is appropriate your needs, then the helpline can help you think it through. Root Center for Advanced Recovery in Hartford is one of 156 SAMHSA-listed facilities in the state.
