The Community Mental Health Affiliates (CMHA) in New Britain helps adults, teens, and families who face mental health and substance use challenges. They offer several levels of care, including a structured intensive outpatient program (IOP) in both English and Spanish. Clients receive support while continuing work, school, or family life. CMHA uses a personal and supportive approach, creating treatment plans tailored to each client’s needs. Therapies include medication-assisted treatment (MAT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational enhancement therapy (MET), trauma-focused care, and multidimensional family therapy (MDFT) for youth and families. These methods help reduce symptoms, build coping skills, and support lasting recovery. Programs serve clients’ cultural and community needs. The Latino/Latina Substance Abuse Program offers bilingual, bicultural care. Families and teens get support at home and school, while adults can access employment help through the Center for Employment Development. The Behavioral Health Home program connects clients to medical and mental health services for whole-person care.
