About

About Connecticut Valley Hospital Blue Hills Substance Services

Blue Hills Substance Services is the Connecticut Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (DMHAS) substance use treatment program operated on Connecticut Valley Hospital’s (CVH) Hartford campus at 500 Vine Street. The address and operator are confirmed by SAMHSA’s federal directory and Google’s listing, which links to the CT.gov portal page for the CVH Addiction Services Division Hartford Campus.

Connecticut Valley Hospital is the state of Connecticut’s public psychiatric hospital, founded in 1868. The Addiction Services Division operates on multiple CVH campuses, with the Hartford site providing substance use treatment under the Blue Hills brand. Federal records list Joint Commission (JCAHO) accreditation and SAMHSA Opioid Treatment Program (OTP) certification — meaning the site is federally authorized to dispense methadone for opioid use disorder under state hospital oversight.

Services indicated by federal records include medical detoxification, outpatient programming, methadone maintenance, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Populations served are broad, including young adults, seniors, men, women, court-ordered clients, people living with HIV/AIDS, and people who are deaf or hard of hearing — American Sign Language accommodations are flagged in the SAMHSA record. Trauma and co-occurring mental health conditions are explicitly listed.

As a state-operated program, payment options are unusually broad: Connecticut Medicaid (HUSKY Health), Medicare, private insurance, TRICARE, sliding scale, state insurance, payment assistance, and self-pay are all listed in federal records. Because Connecticut Valley Hospital is a state hospital, prospective clients should follow DMHAS intake procedures rather than calling a typical private-clinic admissions line. The number on record with SAMHSA is 860-293-6400, extension 401.
