It features&nbsp;17 inpatient units over two campuses (Middletown and Hartford), including a General Psychiatry Division and an Addiction Services Division, both of which are described below. The General Psychiatry Division (GPD) provides inpatient psychiatric care for adults experiencing serious and persistent mental illness. With a focus on recovery and stabilization. GPD includes specialized units for young adults, older adults, and individuals with acquired brain injuries. Staff work as part of a multidisciplinary team—psychiatrists, nurses, therapists, and social workers—to deliver individualized treatment that includes therapy, medication management, and community reintegration planning. The division emphasizes trauma-informed, person-centered care in a safe and structured environment designed to help patients transition to less intensive levels of care. The Addiction Services Division (ASD) at Connecticut Valley Hospital delivers 24/7 inpatient treatment for adults struggling with substance use disorders. Services include medically managed detoxification and intensive residential rehabilitation, with campuses in Middletown and Hartford. Using evidence-based practices, ASD supports recovery through trauma-informed, gender-responsive programming, individual and group therapy, medication-assisted treatment, and discharge planning. Each site includes dedicated screening and assessment to ensure clients receive the most appropriate level of care, with a strong emphasis on helping individuals build the skills and supports needed for long-term recovery. ASD's Blue Hills Campus is located in Hartford and offers walk-in access and rapid triage for individuals in need of inpatient substance use treatment. The campus provides both detox and co-ed rehabilitation services within a therapeutic, community-based setting. Special attention is given to underserved populations, including those without insurance, pregnant individuals, and those who are Deaf or hard of hearing. Staff deliver the full spectrum of ASD's evidence-based and trauma-sensitive care, with additional focus on accessibility, stabilization, and connecting clients to ongoing community resources.
