Suboxone Treatment

Rushford collaborates with Hansa H. Shah, M.D., a Suboxone-certified private provider co-located at our Glastonbury site to provide outpatient treatment for individuals ages 16 and older with opioid dependence (heroin, oxycodone, codeine, etc.). Studies have shown that therapeutic intervention and evaluation are important to successful outcomes for individuals receiving Suboxone treatment. To schedule an appointment or for more information, please call 860-657-8910.

Regular involvement in counseling during Suboxone treatment is strongly encouraged. Counseling helps patients develop coping skills that can help them to avoid relapse and has been shown to significantly improve the likelihood of long-term treatment success.

Group therapy with Suboxone
Many patients find group therapy to be particularly effective for treatment of opioid dependence because it provides a support network that they would otherwise lack. Other benefits of group therapy include:
Peer support and acceptance
Real-world examples of people experiencing recovery
Positive feedback to help improve patients' self-image
Family-like environment
