They are neglectful and won't tell you what's best for you to treat your problem as soon as possible. They will keep postponing everything just to keep you there longer. I would give them 0 stars if I could. Please go somewhere else if possible.
About Center for Life Management
Center of Life Management is a multidisciplinary healthcare practice in Derry, New Hampshire. They provide healthcare like primary care and an onsite pharmacy, but they also have mental health care including treatment for substance use disorders. They largely focus on the connection between physical and mental health.
Integrated Behavioral and Physical Health
This treatment center takes a holistic approach. They focus on not only getting you sober but fostering personal growth so you can enjoy a healthier and happier life in recovery. By integrating your mental health care and addiction treatment with your medical care they help you turn your life around in a sustainable and fulfilling way.
Family Support
They help people of all ages cope with a family members’ addiction. Programs and services that work with children as young as preschool age, as well as youth and young adult programming are available. For example, they provide support that focuses on the wellbeing of children during sudden life changes.
Diverse Therapy Options
They have a comprehensive array of outpatient treatments, and their outpatient group therapy is available in person or virtually. They provide cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), which are both talk therapies and typically performed in a group setting. If someone isn’t quite ready to jump into treatment there is motivational interviewing (MI), which helps you view and compare what the addiction provides and also takes away from your life — helping to put it in perspective.
They also have some newer treatments that don’t involve talking or groups. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) therapy uses magnets to stimulate different neural-pathways in your brain to change behaviors.
Crisis Support in Derry
They have acute adult services which help during crises. These work similarly to an emergency room but for mental health care. The services are provided by mental health and substance abuse trained staff, and the facility offers a more welcoming atmosphere than an emergency room. It gives you a place to turn where you know you are being seen by staff trained in mental health first aid for crisis.

This place has made my mental health very bad and made it impossible to work on my physical health which I chose to work on with the doctor that resides across the hall.
I honestly wanted to leave a message where they tell you to call for this lady Jennifer who handles all this stuff but in reality she’s just like an HR Person who is there to protect the company and I’m realising it is very clear with all the recent reviews and all the other reviews that this place has had an issue training and retaining people who understand how to help people through the system.
I think they need some new methods in place and if they would like some help, I think I could help them even as bad as I’m doing because of how bad they do. In all my absolute massive life I could do a better job in these people are doing by absolutely forgetting and screwing over clients and having them lose everything they’ve been working towards or making them continue to put effort in and struggle and then losing things anyways which doubles up on all the effort you put in to work on your mental and physical health.
My doctor left me for two months and then since he was leaving the next two months he didn’t want to do anything different because I would be seeing a new doctor soon, so that’s four months of wasted time and the first Him, he just happened to go to a different country and no one knew I even saw him. They left me in a very dangerous position where I could’ve had a SEIZURE or worse. AND THE NURSE WAS VERY RUDE AT THE TIME EXCEPT I FOUND IT FUNNY HOW THEY HAD NO IDEA. I HAD BEEN TO THEIR BUILDING OR SEEN THAT DOCTOR BUT MY INSURANCE CERTAINLY KNEW I WENT THERE AND PAID THE BILL.
It’s very clear that your case managers are learning as they go but they’re not honest about it and they’re not very helpful and when they make mistakes they try to hide it and make you feel like you’ve done something wrong and if they have screwed up enough they Start looking down other avenues because you probably lost out on the help you could’ve got but based off of the lack of help from them you know are stuck with Less options and you spent all this time struggling trying to get help in the first place…
It’s a complete embarrassment here right now. They are completely either shortstaffed or incompetent or a mix of both. It is scary, do not come here unless you’re prepared to handle everything On your own.
You’re much better off using $80 and signing up Online doctors and just getting your prescriptions from them and then really sticking to a discipline life because these people will Make your life hell which takes all the time you could be spending focus focusing on your diet and exercise and other things to help with Like therapies and what not. You’ll be spending all that time chasing just the basics.
I actually saw someone I haven’t seen in years and let them know. I was trying to fix my life and was at CLM and right away, they were like “you need to get out of there immediately”.
This place has put people working hard to fix their lives in BAD places. It would make sense if you were not honest, but if you were doing everything right and they’re just dropping the ball it’s a pretty dangerous combo….
This place is making it almost impossible to work on my mental health. Spent a year here now. It’s like I’m chasing a rabbit everyday or something. They’ve definitely made it more difficult for me instead of me being able to take a break from certain things while maintaining a healthy lifestyle and working on my physical and mental health as I should.
I try, I really do but man they make it difficult.

To Whom It May Concern:
In the past 3 years since voluntarily going into a rehab by choice to ensure sobriety I have found this facility to be all over the place with follow ups. I have reached out in this town of Derry often for assistance in the past & have recieved $0. My recent encounter was with Amy Colbert. I find this individual unprofessional and manipulative with her verbiage while dealing with individuals who are labeled by society standard having a "mental illness."
This field is something I am familiar with as I have a history of study since my youth. I also studied the topic of psychology through high school, college, and in life. I would appreciate a professional review on all staff from this facility. Homelessness should not even be an issue in such a small square radius. Someone is not leading properly.
Sincerly a commoner thrown to the wolves,
Jennifer Marshall
When a valued, educated woman, is attacked by a town, state, and social media we all best start to worry and self reflect.

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.
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 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.
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.
12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).
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.
Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.
Treatments
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
Treatment provided at drug rehab in New Hampshire prepares individuals to handle life stressors without using substances. Participants get the tools and support they need to maintain lifelong recovery.
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.
A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.
Programs
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.
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.
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.
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.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.
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.
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.
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.
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.
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.
Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.
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.
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.
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.
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.
