This is specifically for the PHP program.Intake: I was asked to arrive early for intake for an appointment at 9am. I came at 8:45am and was asked to wait in the lobby. I was there until 9:10 I think. Turns out the security guard never told them i arrived. This already put a bad taste in my mouth.Next I informed my intake team i was having withdrawals from a prescribed medication as my psychiatrist didn t properly wean me off. I was told i could get psychiatric help, nope. Because thats their policy since i have a psychiatrist, but they will schedule a new psychiatrist appointment. Ok fine.I was never really explaining what the program is, what we are working on, or how it would help my current situation. I was told the program length can be 5,7, or 10 days. When i asked how long i needed to be there i was vaguely told someone would discuss it with me later (never happened until my 4th day).Essentially the PHP program is to identify triggers and utilize coping mechanisms, boundaries, etc to cope with your mental health, but its all in a group. Nothing is centralized to you or your specific needs. *****This can be incredibly helpful if you have not learned these skills, and if you need a refresher. However I found group made things worse for me, as I have a hard time focusing on myself with others talking about their issues as my work background was essentially helping people through crises.I confided to the team that I felt I needed something in between In patient and php. I expressed since I was likely struggling from the medication withdrawals, and other life issues, that I was not a danger to myself. And that I didn t want to be held prisoner for needing help. All I was told is its your choice if you want to do it or not there was no we think you need this or what questions do you have about our program everything was weird, vague, or tight lipped and then I'm made to feel I am unreasonable.When people go through the proper channels for mental health and are still made to feel they're the problem or they are dangerous and providers give the bare minimum effort to assist you to proper resources or treat you with empathy its no wonder there is such a mental health crisis. This is why people don't reach out for help. And that actually breaks my heart.I will say the reason I am giving 2 stars is because the group leader Sheridan is a genuinely nice man. He has compassion and understanding that a lot of professionals do not. If you are a man struggling with some stuff especially I find his methods very uplifting and not shaming.P.s. the security guards in the front, when a woman goes out of her way to not look at you or address you just leave her alone! you made me extremely uncomfortable.

Location

Accepted Insurance

Southern New Hampshire Medical Center – West Campus works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

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.

Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
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 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.
aftercare iconAftercare 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.
sober-living iconSober Living Homes
Residents of a sober living home in New Hampshire commit to abstaining from drug and alcohol use and to abiding by the house rules. This communal living environment, also called a halfway house, provides a supportive community where people in recovery can start a new life free from substances. Typical house rules include individual room maintenance, shared meal times, curfews, and 12-step meeting attendance.
heart-hands iconIntervention Services
During a drug intervention in New Hampshire, family and friends gather to confront a loved one about their addiction and its consequences. The intervention includes specific examples of destructive behaviors and clearly explains what each person will do if the individual refuses to get help. It also offers a clear treatment plan that is often provided by professional intervention services.
partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program
If you need short-term intensive rehabilitation care that allows you to return home at the end of the day, a partial hospitalization program (PHP) is the ideal solution. PHP provides structured programming that typically includes therapeutic services, relapse prevention, and medication management. Typically, treatment can run between 3-5 days a week for an average of 90 days. The cost for a partial hospitalization program can vary, but is often covered by providers.
24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care
When you receive 24-hour clinical care in New Hampshire, you benefit from several advantages. You receive 24/7 medical care and support. You also detox in a setting that keeps you away from access to addictive substances. Additionally, doctors prescribed medications that reduce or eliminate withdrawal symptoms. Medical staff also provide other treatment to improve your physical and mental health.
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
The aim of a medically supervised detox is to minimize withdrawal symptoms while removing alcohol and drugs from your system under 24/7 medical supervision and keep you as safe and as comfortable as possible. Medical detox is usually the first step in the recovery process as a whole, and it can take about 5-7 days to complete. This process is usually at least partially covered by most insurance plans.

Treatments

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 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 thumbnail image
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 thumbnail image
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 thumbnail image
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 thumbnail image
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 thumbnail image
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.
seniors-program thumbnail image
Seniors Program
Nearly one million adults age 65 and older live with a substance use disorder. Treatment providers who specialize in senior care understand the social, psychological, and physical effects of aging and how they relate to recovery. They can help clients address particular challenges and risks they may face as they get older such as overdosing and medication interactions and dependencies.
hearing-impaired-program thumbnail image
Hearing Impaired Program
A sensory disability, such as hearing impairment, can compound the challenges of addiction recovery. Drug rehabs that are specially designed to accommodate the needs of persons with hearing impairments will include special accessibility features and accommodations to make treatment as comfortable and effective as possible. This may include access to American Sign Language interpreters.
hiv-aids-program thumbnail image
HIV/AIDS Program
HIV/AIDS programs support disease prevention and management in high-risk individuals in recovery. Individuals who engage in intravenous drug use and other addictive behaviors are at a higher risk of becoming infected with HIV. Rehab centers that specialize in treating this population typically have a high number of nurses, physicians, and psychiatrists on staff who can make sure both their medical and mental health needs are met.
lgbtq-program thumbnail image
LGBTQ Program
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.
military-program thumbnail image
Military Program
Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Clinical Services

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.

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.

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.

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.

If you participate in couples therapy in New Hampshire, you can expect to attend an average of 12 sessions. These may include individual and joint sessions with the counselor. Therapy will likely focus on learning skills to resolve conflict and successfully manage relationship challenges.

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.

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

Recreational therapy supports your drug or alcohol addiction recovery by engaging you in structured activities that replace substance use with positive experiences. Activities could include swimming, hiking, painting, and yoga to encourage social interaction. These experiences help to reduce stress, provide you with an emotional outlet, and promote mental well being.

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a way of getting nicotine into the bloodstream without smoking. It uses products that supply low doses of nicotine to help people stop smoking. The goal of therapy is to cut down on cravings for nicotine and ease the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.

I, too, come here as my first option for circumventing long waits at the emergency room and at my PCP s office. I love the entire experience with the receptionists, nurses, and doctors. They have always performed thorough diagnosis and prescribed the proper treatment (which, in my opinion, is a sign of competence). They were even instrumental in helping to diagnose my cancer early on! In addition to competence, I have experienced professionalism, courtesy, empathy, and compassion at this facility (towards my family and me). I really can t speak highly enough of them and would definitely refer family and friends here.

I ve been here probably a half dozen times over the last few years as a way of circumventing long wait time for an appointment with my PCP. Each time I have seen different doctors but each time I have been satisfied the level of care I receive, they are professional, thorough and congenial.

They charged me $5,000 dollars for letting me wait sitting without medical attention. In a single day 3 charges $5,000 and something $430 and something, and $230 and something. When I call customer service you do not know how to explain in the least. I recommend that you check your emergency area cameras so that you can see how many hours since I arrived I was sitting in a chair without any attention and without using your bed I spoke twice with my doctor, they not gave me nothing for pain, nothing but an exam that they made me for which I do not really know what the charge is because there are two exams that do not really exist. I only received one and they are charging me because they took my health insurance and they registered me in their system but I did not enter any room I was sitting waiting for hours. and they are charging me that amount as if I am a millionaire. Bo have scruples, They take advantage of people.
