The Root Center is proud to announce that our Branford Clinic is now open!

 

On Thursday, September 26th, we had a successful Grand Opening ribbon cutting ceremony for our newest clinic, conveniently located inside of the Stony Creek Medical Center on Business Park Drive.

 

For the first time in Root's history, we are now accepting and treating patients for addiction and mental health care in New Haven County. 

 

This new clinic is located at 6-12 Business Park Drive in Branford. To learn more, please click here or call our Central Admissions Clinic to learn more at (800) 862-2181.

 

Special thanks to everyone who has supported the Root Center and our mission. Our board members, community legislators and leaders, media partners, and of course, our staff. We know this new facility will go on to help so many patients.
