Mental Health and Substance Abuse

Medically 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.

Intensive Outpatient

Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) offer high-level transitional support for clients exiting inpatient rehab. They can also be effective for clients at significant relapse risk Intensive outpatient treatment typically involves between nine and 20 hours of care per week, with the frequency and intensity of treatment decreasing as clients progress in their recovery. Most IOP clients participate in a combination of psychotherapy, recovery education, holistic therapies, and, for some, medication assisted treatment (MAT).

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

Just as addiction is a progressive illness, drug addiction treatment is a gradual process. The professionals in our drug treatment program recognize the fact that our clients will make progress at their own rates. Upon admission, clients will meet with their primary therapist and a consulting psychiatrist to design a treatment plan, customized to meet their individual needs. Initially, people experiencing addiction need medical and nutritional attention in order to begin restoring physical balance. From there, they start to explore the underlying issues that have contributed to their addiction, such as anxiety, depression and co-occurring mental health disorders. They will attend therapeutic groups that cover a wide collection of topics related to addiction recovery and coping with any existing co-occurring disorders. They will explore constructive methods to cope with emotional triggers, ways to prevent problematic behavior and build positive support structure in their recovery. Our experienced counselors help our clients and their families uncover conditions, fears, beliefs and practices that have contributed to the addiction. We also educate families about the nature of addiction and provide family therapy to help integrate their support through-out the process. PHP will typically last 28 to 40 days and will focus on stabilizing the client’s physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

12-Step

12 step programs are often considered the gold standard in addiction treatment. They are based on personal growth and intensive peer support. Participants are expected to regularly attend 12 step meetings, which are free, anonymous, and open to the public. They are also required to select a peer sponsor to mentor them as they work through the steps of recovery, which are based on non-denominational spiritual principles designed to foster understanding, forgiveness, accountability, and acceptance.

Aftercare Support

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Sober 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.

Partial Hospitalization Program

In a partial hospitalization program (PHP), you’re able to receive short-term intensive rehabilitation care while being able to return home at the end of the day. PHP treatment provides structured programming, which typically includes therapeutic services, relapse prevention, and medication management. Typically, PHP treatment can range from 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.

Intervention Services

Intervention services helps family or friends of addicts stage an intervention, which is a meeting in which loved ones share their concerns and attempt to get an addict into treatment. Professional intervention specialists can help loved ones organize, gather, and communicate with an addict. They can guide intervention participants in describing the damage the addict's behavior is causing and that outside help is necessary to address the addiction. The ideal outcome of an intervention is for the addict to go to rehab and get the help they need.

Cognitive 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.

Creative Arts Therapy

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.

Experiential Therapy

With experiential therapy, the clients at New England Recovery and Wellness learn how to approach challenges in a proactive manner rather than a reactive one. This allows for a deeper, more meaningful understanding of the impact their decisions may have not only on themselves, but also on others. The primary aim of their experiential therapy addiction program is to help clients begin making better choices – ones that align with their true values while allowing their needs to be met in a healthy manner.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing

EMDR is a therapeutic modality originally developed to help process trauma. In an EMDR session, a patient is prompted to undergo eye movements that mimic those of REM sleep. This is accomplished by watching a therapist's finger move back and forth across, or following a bar of light. The goal is repetitive sets of eye movements that help the brain reprocess memory, which can significantly reduce the intensity of remembered traumatic incidents. Associated memories can heal simultaneously, leaving patients significantly calmer, more stable, and more emotionally relaxed.

Family Therapy

We understand that having a loved one in active addiction can be a traumatizing experience for the entire family. Often, the family is unfamiliar with the emotions that occur while a loved one is struggling with addiction and this can result in unintentionally prolonging unhealthy behaviors. Our goal is to bridge this gap between the client and the family in efforts to build an understanding of addiction and provide education on how to confront problems that arise and facilitate successful long-term recovery for individuals AND the family. Our detailed family program focuses on repairing family relations and addressing the wide range of issues and emotions that are experienced by the families of clients. It is very common for family members to feel resentment, disappointment, fear, anxiousness, and a lack of trust toward their loved one struggling with substance abuse. With the help of our addiction specialist counselors, we give both the client and family an open platform to discuss their emotions and feelings towards each other. Our counselors can pinpoint the root of problematic behaviors, allowing them to mold and change the thought processes that leads clients to choosing these behaviors.

Fitness Therapy

Fitness therapy blends exercise with psychotherapy for a fun, inspiring, and effective way of treating addiction and other issues. By incorporating movement into counseling sessions, clients become more empowered, motivated, and goal-oriented, all while strengthening their bodies and becoming more flexible. Fitness Therapy is usually used to complement a course of treatment (inpatient or outpatient) to make it even more successful. Increasing the connection between a patient’s mind and body helps both with healing as well as in creating new, healthy habits.

Group 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.

Individual 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.

Life Skills

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.

Nutrition Therapy

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.

Trauma 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.
