Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

inpatient iconInpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Heart icon Treatment

check iconDual Diagnosis

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

mental-health iconMental Health

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

inpatient-file iconCognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

couples-therapy iconCouples Therapy

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

medicare iconElectroconvulsive Therapy

ECT is a form of treatment in which controlled electric currents are passed through the brain, sometimes causing short seizures. Treatments are done under general anesthesia. ECT appears to change brain chemistry for the better, and has been shown to provide fast and sometimes dramatic improvements in severe mental health conditions that can exist alongside addiction, including depression, bipolar disorder, psychosis, and suicidality. ECT is also often used by those who prefer it to taking medication.

family iconFamily Therapy

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

intervention iconGroup Therapy

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

mental-health iconIndividual Therapy

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

house-medical iconTrauma Therapy

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

August 28, 2024 - Renee Pontbriand - She returned my call for an appointment quickly, patiently listened to my woes, asked me questions and imparted lots of kind empathy. Honestly, I was on the brink of nothingness before she called. People like this should be acknowledged so this is what I am doing. Thank you, Frisbee, for having Renee on your staff!!This is my 2nd review and 2nd experience and it was fabulous. I had hand surgery by Dr. Clingman and he performed a miracle. But, his staff, was wonderful as well! Thank you Lisa, Jess, Lynn and Mary! Your staff always makes my experience less frightening and almost spa-like...:)

Called 911 because I kept losing consciousness and falling to the floor throughout the day. The ambulance took me to Frisbee against my wishes because they were closest to my home. After learning I had been recently treated for a UTI they ignored the symptoms for which I called emergency, gave me no treatment at all, and discharged me with my reason for visit listed as: Urinary Tract Infection after having done zero tests or treatments. The doctor would not let me speak, he was rude and condescending, and would not accept that I was there for a real reason. He simply kicked me out of my room and told me to get a ride home. I still struggle with undiagnosed fainting spells and cannot find a provider to help. With a history of seizures and other neurological conditions, you would think they would have taken me seriously and tried to help me.

I didn't know what to expect from all the negative that travels around but irealize.. that's everything and negative travels fast but I had a great experience..intact got me in early..no issues at all, very accommodating and polite...not just to me but my other half aswell. everyone individually introduced themselves and offered numerous times if there was anything I needed. They must have refilled my ice 10 times in ten minutes to make sure I had ice for my throat..So we were in at 1130 and out by 330 from throat surgery.. Great job to all staff (many of nurses etc.. staff seemed to be well staffed) Thank you as well to Dr. Knox out of eochester nh and Frisbee hospital! Excellent job!!Brian JalbertJalbert Contracting LLCAlton NH

I went to the ED early this morning after waking up with terrible ear pain. Diagnosed with infection, antibiotics ordered. The whole process took about 1 hour, no issues and all staff was polite and professional. We came here last fall too when my son got RSV. Had a great experience despite how sick my son was.

To preface this I had gone to another hospital before this for stomach pain that had gone on for about 2 months. I came in because i was still experiencing the pain and wanted to figure out why. They ran labs (more on that later) and started to suspect my gallbladder because my pancreas was inflamed. They did a cat scan and said nope it s not that, we actually think you have hepatitis. They told me they were sending off my blood to test for it, they also told me they d call me to let me know the results. So they started to discharge me, and i went home still in pretty severe pain. 2 or 3 days later, and I still hadn t heard anything. So I called and was confused even more because the lady was saying that she couldn t tell me for sure. So I was anxious now because i m still in pain and don t really know what s going on. I decided to go onto the patient portal where i looked at the labs frisbie and saw that some of my levels were high. When i say high i mean like hundreds over what they were supposed to be. I then went to Portsmouth Hospital where I proceeded to show them my labs and they were very concerned on why they would send me home when my liver was literally close to failing. Portsmouth then did an Ultrasound and MRI and found it WAS in fact my gallbladder, that had MULTIPLE stones blocking it. I had to have my gallbladder removed. I didn t have hepatitis and was wrongly diagnosed. Not to mention it could ve been way worse had I not gone to a second hospital. So in short. Just go to Dover or Portsmouth.

The only reason they get one star is one you can't go any lower and two the intake and front desk were the nicest people here. The nurses, aids, and security made a disgusting attempt at professionalism. A family member hurt themselves and we were treated like inmates at your county jail. I tried to cheer up a family member who laid dorment in the bed awaiting discharge and asked the nurse to attempt to cheer them up, I was looked at like I had ten heads and was abusing my family by making attempting to cheer em up. Being told, "thats a great way to build trust in your family. We were asked to isolate in the room as they peppered the desk and halls and conversate eat, lean, play games on phones as if it was there living room that patients weren't allowed in. Here's a kicker my mother came here before and the DR. Told her she had stage four lung cancer and there attempt at consolent was, " you should of lived a healthier life style." A month later another but adequate staff and facility, "Mam you have the worse case of pneumonia I've ever seen. Whoever told you you had stage 4 lung cancer shouldn't be practicing medicine at all! Come here if you are dieing and even that should be really questioned as a more pleasant facility is a ten minute drive up the highway. Also if you see a family friend or relatives in the building make no attempt to contact each other, or speak about current circumstances they will predatorially believe and act as if you are up to qustionable behavior In there medical winged parole office despite your serious reasoning behind the delivery via ambulance. I have never seen such a poorly run facility. Me nor my relatives will return. I'm going tattoo "send to Wentworth Douglas" on each family member with a signature for future reference points.
