Connecticut Addiction Medicine, LLC

Caring for you is the way to recovery. is our specialty. Buprenorphine is a medication that comes in film and tablet form. Buprenorphine decreases cravings and blocks the effects of all opioids. Patients on buprenorphine report feeling normal and welcome making positive choices the way they did prior to addiction. It is highly effective in achieving recovery. Patients on buprenorphine report feeling normal, functional and having a clear mind all day long, which allows them to make positive choices the way that they did prior to their addiction. When buprenorphine is combined with counseling and other forms of support, it can be highly effective in helping patients recover from addiction. Naltrexone is a monthly injectable medication that decreases cravings and binds to receptors in the brain, preventing patients from feeling any pleasant effects from opioids or alcohol. Vivitrol may be initiated after opioid detoxification. It may also be used by patients who have completely tapered off of buprenorphine or methadone to prevent relapse.

I have had a great experience with my Dr. And staff in the office. Issues are discussed and treatment options are explained well. I appreciate the work they provide the community and how they have helped me with mental health issues as well. I recommend to anyone

Dr. Benson is a consummate and highly ethical physician with SINCERE concern for the patient base he serves! Best said "he's in it for ALL the right reasons"! In addition he clearly takes painstaking effort with regard to his equally kind, supportive and compassionate staff!

Dr Aslam is knowledgeable and thoughtful. He treated me (and every patient, I'd guess) as an individual, not a symptom. He seems dedicated to helping patients get away from destructive habits and will experiment with different treatments to find the correct fit.
