Opioid Use
Individualized, non-judgmental counseling and recovery support for concerns about opioid use.
Arrange a Free ConsultationA Person, Not a Label
Your experience with opioid use is one part of your life, not your whole identity. We start by listening to your concerns, goals and the support you already have.
You may want to discuss opioid use yourself, or you may be asking about someone you care about. Tell us which concerns brought you here and what you want from a conversation. Counseling can include the effects on relationships, responsibilities and mental health without treating substance use as the only thing that matters about you. If you have medical questions, we can talk about who to involve.
What to Discuss in Your First Counseling Session
What Is Happening Now
Describe the concerns that led you to ask about opioid use counseling. You can include effects on everyday life, mental health or relationships. Start with what is worrying you today.
What Support You Have
Talk about the people, strengths and resources you can draw on, as well as what feels missing. These details help ground the counseling conversation in your life. You can also ask about family support if someone close to you needs their own conversation.
What You Need to Ask
Bring questions about counseling, therapy and practical recovery coaching. Ask what a session could focus on and how often you might meet.
Care With Respect for Your Experience
We bring a compassionate, science-based approach to substance use and mental health. Recovery-oriented care makes room for your goals and the different pathways that may be meaningful to you.
A counseling session can give attention to what is happening now, the support around you and the changes you want to consider. You can talk about uncertainty as well as goals you already know how to name. Bring a recent example, such as a difficult conversation or a change in your routine. We will listen and talk through what matters most to you. Our role is to consider those details with you through individualized, evidence-based care.
Discuss the Right Kind of Care
Ask us about counseling, therapy and recovery coaching for opioid-related concerns. Tell us what you want support with, and we can help you find a provider. In an emergency, call 911.
Ask about counseling at our Cheshire or West Hartford offices, in-home options or telehealth while located in Connecticut. A free 15-minute consultation can help you discuss the service you are seeking and provider availability. Bring questions about insurance for that service and contact us for current rates. We can provide superbills for out-of-network care.
