Evidence-Based Therapies

Your day runs 9am to 3:30pm and is built around clinically proven therapeutic modalities. Each session is led by licensed clinicians with specialized training in addiction and mental health treatment.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Identify and restructure negative thought patterns that drive addictive behaviors. Develop practical coping strategies for everyday triggers.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy

Daily DBT skills groups building distress tolerance, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness — the foundation of our program.

Acceptance & Commitment

Learn to accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than fighting them, while committing to actions aligned with your core values.

Trauma Processing (CPT)

For clients with co-occurring PTSD and trauma, Cognitive Processing Therapy addresses the root causes when clinically appropriate.

Individual Therapy

Weekly one-on-one sessions with your assigned therapist. Collaborative goal-setting, personalized treatment planning, and progress tracking.

Recovery Pathways

Choose from 12-Step, SMART Recovery, or Dharma Recovery — multiple pathways because there's no one-size-fits-all approach to lasting recovery.

02

Holistic & Experiential

Recovery isn't just about therapy sessions. We integrate activities that rebuild joy, connection, and a sense of purpose beyond substance use.

Yoga & Meditation

Mindfulness-based practices that reduce anxiety, improve emotional regulation, and help you reconnect with your body and breath.

Breathwork

Guided breathing techniques for managing cravings, reducing stress, and building resilience against relapse triggers.

Equine Therapy

Sessions at Blue Sky Farm — working with horses builds trust, emotional awareness, and communication skills in a non-clinical setting.

Sober Activities

Group bowling, hiking, mini golf, and community events. Fellowship time that proves life in recovery can be genuinely enjoyable.

03

Medical & Medication Support

Comprehensive medical oversight from your first day. Our on-site Nurse Practitioner ensures your physical and mental health needs are addressed simultaneously.

NP Evaluation Within 24hrs

Every PHP client meets with our Nurse Practitioner within 24 hours of admission for a comprehensive medication and health assessment.

Medication-Assisted Treatment

Options including Suboxone, Vivitrol, and Naltrexone. Client choice on taper vs. maintenance — we support your decision without judgment.

Ongoing Medication Management

Regular check-ins with our NP throughout your program. Adjustments as needed to ensure your treatment plan evolves with your recovery.

Co-Occurring Treatment

Mental health and substance use disorders treated simultaneously. No need for separate programs — integrated care under one roof.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything You Need to Know

About the Program

The average PHP stay is 20 to 30 days, though your clinical team will work with you to determine the right duration based on your progress and individual needs.

PHP runs from 9am to 3:30pm, so traditional work hours overlap. If you need to work, our IOP program offers evening sessions (6-9pm, Mon-Thu) specifically designed for working professionals.

PHP is our most intensive outpatient level — 9am to 3:30pm with lunch provided. IOP is a step down at 9am-12:30pm (or evening 6-9pm). Both include weekly individual therapy, but PHP offers more group sessions and longer daily programming.

Yes. We offer telehealth and hybrid options. You can mix in-person and virtual sessions based on your circumstances and preference.

Absolutely. We offer individual family therapy coordinated with your primary therapist, plus monthly Zoom family support groups with set curriculum on codependency, family systems, and substance use education. Open to any family member 18+.

Getting Started

Cost depends on your insurance coverage. We accept most major plans including Anthem BCBS, Point 32, and Tricare. We also offer affordable self-pay rates. Call us for a free insurance verification.

Most major insurance plans cover PHP. We're in-network with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, Point 32 (Harvard Pilgrim + Tufts), Tricare, Uprise Health, and WellSense NH Medicaid. We verify coverage within minutes.

PHP is ideal for adults stepping down from detox, those actively using who need intensive structure, or anyone who requires more support than traditional outpatient but doesn't need residential care. Adults ages 18-80.

Most clients step down to our IOP program, then outpatient. We also coordinate sober living placements, external provider referrals, and connect you with our alumni program for ongoing community support.

Flexible scheduling, a family-style environment, staff with lived recovery experience alongside professional credentials, 12:1 counselor caseloads, same-day admissions, and a Professional Evening Track for working adults. We adapt our care to your life — not the other way around.
