Just this week, the Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services launched a new toll-free number – 1-800-563-4086 – to help connect residents seeking treatment services for an opioid addiction to local walk-in assessment centers.
Walk-in centers across the state are always available to provide an evaluation or referral, and encourage those in need of treatment to reach out when they feel ready to do so. Individual courses of treatment and services will be planned according to specific needs and eligibilities. Centers work directly with patients and insurance companies to determine what works best for them, and resolve any challenges that may stand in the way of them and their path to treatment.
For a list of walk-in assessment centers and their hours, please visit the DMHAS website at www.ct.gov/dmhas/walkins.
Sincerely,
Vincent Candelora
State Representative for the 86th District
