Staff were very unprofessional to the point of screaming at residents. I only had anxiety the first day or two of my stay while I was settling in, but after that no one believed me when I said I wasn’t having anxiety. I have chronic fatigue, so it’s very difficult for me ...

Mountain Valley has truly been a lifesaver to our family! It is a special place made up of special people who have both the expertise and the caring hearts to support both their residents and their families during a very difficult time. They were able to turn my daughter s bright light back on that had been dimmed due to anxiety and depression. They educated her to help her understand what she was going through, gave her coping skills for when she experiences her highs and lows, and helped her to learn strategies and routines that allow her to maintain a healthier lifestyle. They also helped and supported our family to learn what we could do to better support her. In connecting with the other residents and forming incredibly close friendships, for the first time, our daughter didn t feel alone in what she was going through. The therapists and staff at Mountain Valley are unmatched in the way they care about and connect with the residents. My daughter really trusted them and finally had hope that she could get better. On top of all that, she loved being there and had so much fun in all their activities. I am forever grateful to Mountain Valley!!!!

Nicole, thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts. Your daughter worked so hard and was an inspiration to her peers and to all of us. We're so happy to see how well she's doing. Thank you for trusting us with her care and for all your support of Mountain Valley!"
This is my daughter s second half of her review she ran out of space because she had too many great things to say!! (look under anonymous )Every staff member becomes a mentor, every resident becomes a sibling, every animal becomes your new best friend (the sheep are fluffy dogs, the donkeys are so sweet, the chickens are annoying little cutie pies, the rabbits are calm hoppy buddies, and the goats are adorable monkeys). Mountain Valley is a one-of-a-kind milieu it s truly a family. My friends from MVTC are some of the best people I will ever have the pleasure of meeting. Months could go by without contact, but I know they re always there for me like nothing s changed.The work at Mountain Valley can be difficult, and it s the most amazingly transformative time of your life. My happy place is Mountain Valley. To know that there is such an incredible place existing so full of empathetic, kind people gives me hope for the future of this world.Hearing about the troubled teen industry, I d gone into treatment terrified of abuse, neglect, and more. I feel heartbroken for people who experience those things, and I also feel heartbroken for a suffering teenager who lets those stories stop them from going to Mountain Valley.It scares me to think of where I would be (if I would even still be here) without the people who saved me at Mountain Valley. The love and joy MVTC brings me is immeasurable, incomparable. I wish everyone in the world could experience Mountain Valley, because being so seen, loved, accepted, heard, and genuine is so rare in this world.Every single person at Mountain Valley is changing the world. I owe them everything and have so much gratitude for each and every one of them. If you are reading this and considering Mountain Valley, know that treatment is difficult, scary, and not linear. AND know that out there in Plainfield, New Hampshire, there s a group of people that would be so happy to welcome you to their family as you shine your brightest light into the world.

Anne, thank you for sharing her thoughts with us. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. You and your daughter will always be part of the Mountain Valley family!
I don t have the proper words to express how much Mountain Valley means to me. I would give it ten stars out of five if that were possible.By May 2023, my parents were scared and confused, unsure of how to move forward. My OCD and anxiety had spiraled out of control. Despite continuing a perfect attendance at school to match my nearly perfect Junior year grades, I had never been more unhealthy. I was diagnosed with ARFID and lost over 10 pounds. Eventually, my therapist told my parents that simple outpatient treatment was not enough: residential treatment was the best option.I was upset and felt betrayed surely I was not that bad and hadn t everyone been saying that my outpatient therapists knew what they were doing? I (reluctantly) took a call with MVTC admissions and showed them the bubbly facade I was an expert at. By a stroke of fortune, they had availability for me. At the time, I was unimpressed and furious that my junior year would go up in flames after all my hard work.Being the understanding people that they are, Mountain Valley staff allowed me to finish up my last month at school before checking in (while this option is not always the best or what s recommended, I had enough support at home and so little time left that it ended up working out).I arrived at Mountain Valley on May 30, 2023. Admittedly, I had bought into some parts of the idea, making collage posters for my room and downloading music onto my Mighty.My biggest concerns going in were the food, the roommate situation, and if this was even going to work. To me, playing with farm animals and doing random art seemed too lighthearted to fight the dark demons I had inside. Well, little did I know that I had just entered into the most incredible place on this planet. Having to leave after 87 days was bittersweet and I longed to return even as I thrived back in the real world.To address my initial concerns, the food was amazing and diverse. The chef was kind and loved to take recommendations. We baked or cooked sometimes during modules, and there were always snacks available or leftovers if I didn t want a particular dish.And the roommates. I was scared that they would hate me or think I was weird or judge my OCD. None of those things were present anywhere at Mountain Valley. The staff tried to match roommates up by personality while also keeping a minimal age gap, but every single person eventually bonded with their roommates. Of course, in such an accepting, loving community, it was nearly impossible for anyone to have animosity or judgment. I still talk to my roommates on Facetime or text often, as they ve become my most trusted confidantes.Thirdly, the treatment itself. The therapists are out-of-this-world. They aren t robotic or working against you; truly, they re on your team and want to work to help you succeed. They are very human, and living in a residential setting brings out that side of everyone. You see your therapist in very serious conversations in their office, and you also see them playing capture the flag on a sunny day or getting lunch or when they take you off campus for a special treat, just because. There s no shame in therapy, whether it be family, group, or individual. You are living in a healing environment where everyone around you has your best interests at heart. That s how doing random art helps: you get to explore your identity, embrace your inner child, and live in a safe space.(this is only half of my post; the character limit was exceeded because I have too many great things to say!)

Accepted Insurance
Other Forms of Payment
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Outpatient Clients undergoing treatment at an outpatient rehab reside in their own homes and engage in counseling and recovery education sessions in the evening, at night, or on the weekend. This ensures clients' access to care while working, caregiving, or attending school. Outpatient treatment is often the next level of care for clients stepping down from inpatient care, though some clients enroll immediately after completing detox. Many programs offer medication assisted treatment (MAT) for those in alcohol or opioid recovery.
Inpatient 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.
Aftercare Support Rehab aftercare programs provide continuing care for clients in an advanced phase of recovery, including those who have completed detox and intensive inpatient treatment. These clients typically have already engaged in many hours of addiction counseling and recovery education. Drug rehab aftercare supports clients in maintaining their sobriety at home, in the workplace, and in the community. Case managers and care teams advise clients on the resources they may need to promote their sustained sobriety.
Treatments
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.
Programs
Teen Program
Teen programs are designed to address the unique pressures teens face, pressures that can drive them to experiment with dangerous, addictive substances. They need programs that meet them exactly where they are and give them tools for long-term recovery. Therapy can help teenagers understand and work through underlying issues so they can reclaim the life ahead of them.
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
Program For Men
Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.
Program For Women
Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
Clinical Services
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured form of therapy in which the client, family and therapist work together as partners to assess, define, and treat problems. Clients and families learn to examine and respond in new ways to the elements that maintain anxiety and OCD-related problems, including their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. A key component of the treatment programming – the unique and specialized evidenced-based component of Mountain Valley Treatment Center. ERP is a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) modality designed to provide gradual exposure and habituation to what causes a particular anxiety or compulsion. As psycho-education, this group therapy component of exposure therapy supports the individual therapy in which a resident is participating.
Dialectical refers to merging of opposing concepts. In DBT, the main dialectic is between the concepts of acceptance and change. Emotional Regulation and Interpersonal Effectiveness skills are taught to empower residents and teach them how to implement change. DBT is a form of therapy that utilizes a structured curriculum to develop skills in the following areas: Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance, Emotional Regulation and Interpersonal Effectiveness.
Equine therapy, aka equine-assisted therapy (EAT), is a form of experiential therapy that involves interactions and activities with horses. It does not necessarily involve riding horses, but all activities related to horses, such as feeding, grooming, haltering and leading them. A mental health professional frequently oversees the activities (often in conjunction with a horse professional), and helps patients process their thoughts, feelings, and behavior patterns during and/or after the interaction.
As a short-term residential treatment center, Mountain Valley offers multiple group therapy sessions per week in addition to the Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) groups that occur twice per week. Thematic Group Therapy includes Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy, Expressive Arts, and DBT skills.
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Each Treatment Program Resident of Mountain Valley Treatment Center receives three individual therapy sessions per week with their primary therapist. Psychoeducation is designed to enhance client and family knowledge about anxiety and OCD.
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.
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 therapy occurs weekly via VZ, phone or on-site. Review of a resident’s multi-disciplinary treatment plan occurs weekly.
To recover from addiction your body needs the proper nutrients for healing. Nutrition therapy during drug rehab in New Hampshire provides a dietary plan for optimal results. This treatment will train you how to eat the foods you need for energy and rejuvenation.
Creativity is inherently healing, and can help those in recovery express thoughts or feelings they might not otherwise be able to. Creative arts therapy can include music, poetry/writing, painting, sculpting, dance, theater, sandplay, and more. Unlike traditional art, the final product matters far less than the experience of creation and expression itself.
Through their therapeutic recreation program, they seek to challenge their residents to partake in activities that they normally might be reluctant to pursue due to their anxiety and avoidant tendencies. Their therapeutic recreation program offers similar incremental challenges. Beginning with on-campus activities that includes: horseback riding on our trails, hiking, yoga, mountain biking, art, music, snowshoeing and cross country skiing, residents will be incrementally challenged by routines that include hiking in the White and Green Mountains, canoe and kayaking excursions, rock climbing, and performing a musical instrument in front of residents and staff.
If you've become physically dependent on nicotine, you can use nicotine replacement therapy in New Hampshire to quit smoking. Signs that you're dependent include smoking more than one pack per day, smoking to ease withdrawal symptoms, and smoking within five minutes of waking up.
