Detox from Methadone Dependency / Methadone Detox – Connecticut

Methadone maintenance clinics provide outpatient detox from methadone addictions by slowly decreasing the methadone that a person gets. This is called “tapering” or “ambulatory detox.”

If the person wants a different type of detox from methadone, they can:

• Seek treatment from any agency offering detox. These programs will assess the client’s health condition, addiction history, etc. and decide whether they are appropriate for their program.
• Call a Central Intake/Placement Substance Services Access Line operated by Wheeler Clinic and funded by CT DMHAS.  Visit the site here or call, 1-800-563-4086: DMHAS: Access Line Services
