Veterans Affairs Connecticut Healthcare System in Newington, CT is a dedicated treatment facility serving veterans and eligible military personnel seeking recovery from substance abuse and addiction. Located at 555 Willard Avenue Suite 116-A in Newington, this VA-affiliated center combines comprehensive general health services with specialized substance abuse treatment to support the unique needs of those who have served. By integrating medical care with addiction treatment, Veterans Affairs provides a coordinated approach to recovery for individuals navigating both physical and behavioral health challenges.
Veterans Affairs offers multiple levels of care designed to meet patients at different stages of recovery. Outpatient treatment allows individuals to receive therapy, counseling, and medical support while maintaining work, school, or family responsibilities—making recovery accessible for those with stable living situations. Partial hospitalization or day treatment provides more intensive support than outpatient care, with patients attending structured programs during business hours and returning home in the evenings, offering a middle ground between full hospitalization and outpatient services. The facility also provides buprenorphine treatment, a medication-assisted therapy proven effective for opioid use disorder that reduces cravings and withdrawal symptoms, allowing patients to stabilize and engage meaningfully in their recovery journey. This combination of behavioral treatment and evidence-based medication ensures comprehensive, personalized care.
Veterans Affairs accepts military insurance including VA benefits and TRICARE coverage, ensuring that those who served have access to the treatment they've earned. Under federal law, mental health and substance abuse coverage must be treated equally with other medical conditions, meaning your insurance is required to cover addiction treatment services without discriminatory limits. If you have questions about your specific coverage or eligibility, the admissions team can verify your benefits and explain your treatment options without financial surprises.
