About Adult Psychiatric Clinic
Cornell Scott Hill Health Center (CSHHC) in Connecticut is a multi-service outpatient program focused on delivering convenient support to adults dealing with addiction and mental health concerns such as depression and anxiety, using different levels of outpatient care. The Columbus Avenue site functions as the central administrative location for all CSHHC locations.
At this Columbus Avenue location, adult behavioral health services are available, including full mental health evaluations, one-on-one psychotherapy, medication management, counseling, and psychiatric services. Care covers a wide range of issues, such as anxiety, mood, cognitive and sleep difficulties, psychotic symptoms, somatization, and substance use disorders. In addition, the center offers support for older adults, including treatment related to grief and behavior or mood changes linked to dementia.
The Columbus Avenue clinic also makes referrals to the outpatient detox program at another nearby site in New Haven, about two minutes from the clinic. This program focuses on opioid use disorder and uses treatments such as Methadone and Suboxone to help lessen cravings and withdrawal symptoms. The approach is evidence-based and combines medication, counseling, and medical care to support recovery and reduce the risk of relapse.
The Child and Family Guidance Clinic within Cornell Scott-Hill Health Center provides specialized outpatient behavioral health services for children and teens who need treatment for mental health and substance use concerns. With a patient-centered and holistic approach, the clinic addresses not only clinical needs, but also the emotional, physical, and social factors that affect each child’s overall well-being.
