Expedition Log

Log Entry 01 — Arrival & Assessment

Setting Up Camp

Your PHP journey begins within 24 hours of your first call. On admission day, our clinical team conducts a comprehensive assessment — your history, your goals, your needs — and builds a personalized treatment plan designed for you, not a template.

Within 24 hours of arrival, you'll meet with our on-site Nurse Practitioner for a medical evaluation and medication management plan. If appropriate, FDA-approved medications like Suboxone, Vivitrol, or other MAT options become part of your care from day one.

A Day at Basecamp

Each day runs 9 AM to 3:30 PM, Monday through Friday — a rhythm of morning groups, individual therapy, psychoeducation, fellowship over lunch (provided daily), and holistic practices like breathwork, yoga, and meditation. The schedule flexes to you: mix morning, afternoon, or evening sessions based on what your life demands.

Weekly individual therapy pairs you with a licensed clinician for focused CBT work — reshaping the thought patterns that fuel addiction. Collaborative goal setting keeps your progress moving toward outcomes that matter to your life, not a rigid curriculum.

Building Your Toolkit

Daily evidence-based skills groups form the backbone of PHP. Dialectical Behavior Therapy builds emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy teaches psychological flexibility. Relapse prevention groups give you practical strategies for real-world triggers.

Psychoeducation groups deepen your understanding of addiction and mental health. Motivational exercise groups build physical resilience. Your approach adapts to your preferences — 12-Step, SMART Recovery, Dharma Recovery, or a personalized blend that resonates with you.

Recovery Is Connection

Family therapy — available individually and through monthly Zoom support groups — helps repair relationships and gives your loved ones the education they need to support your recovery. Fellowship time at lunch and between sessions creates the bonds that become your recovery community.

Beyond the facility, sober activities expand your world: equine therapy at a local farm, group hikes through New Hampshire's trails, bowling outings, and community recovery events. These aren't extras — they're practice at living a full, connected life without substances.

Life Beyond Basecamp

Case management covers the practical realities of rebuilding — resume writing, job search assistance, court paperwork, and connecting you with housing resources including sober living options. Transition planning begins early, not as an afterthought.

Your clinical team coordinates step-down to IOP or outpatient care, connects you with external therapists and psychiatrists, and enrolls you in our alumni program — a lifelong community of graduates who understand. Your time at Trailhead may end, but the support never does.

Tour the Facility

Multiple group therapy rooms provide comfortable, private spaces for evidence-based sessions including DBT, CBT, and ACT skills groups. Each room accommodates small groups for focused, intimate therapeutic work.
A quiet, calming room dedicated to breathwork, yoga, and mindfulness practices. Designed to help you reconnect with your body and find peace in the present moment.
Ping pong, foosball, and Xbox create opportunities for relaxation and peer bonding between sessions. Fellowship happens in the informal moments too.
A softly lit decompression space for quiet reflection. When sessions feel heavy, the Serenity Room offers a calm retreat to reset before continuing.
Lunch is provided daily for PHP clients. Shared meals create community — some of the strongest recovery bonds form over a table.
Fresh air, walking paths, and a designated space to take a break. Stepping outside between sessions helps clear your mind and recharge.
Your Journey

Setting Up Camp

Our clinical team conducts a comprehensive assessment to understand your needs, history, and goals. Within 24 hours, you'll meet with our Nurse Practitioner for medical evaluation and medication planning. Together, we build a treatment plan designed for you — not a template.

Daily skills groups in DBT, CBT, and ACT give you practical tools for real-world situations. Individual therapy deepens self-understanding. You'll learn to regulate emotions, tolerate distress, and build coping strategies that carry you forward.

Recovery stops being theoretical. Sober activities, family therapy, and fellowship become practice at living fully without substances. You apply what you've learned in real-world settings — with a support team behind you every step.

Your case manager coordinates step-down to IOP, outpatient care, or external support. You're connected with therapists, housing resources, and enrolled in our alumni community — a lifelong network of people who understand where you've been.

Questions & Answers

Field FAQ

About the Program

Most clients complete PHP in 20 to 30 days, though duration is individualized based on progress and clinical recommendation. Your treatment team adjusts the timeline to your needs.

PHP runs 9 AM to 3:30 PM, so traditional work hours overlap. However, our IOP evening track (6-9 PM, Mon-Thu) is designed specifically for working professionals who need intensive support.

PHP is our most intensive level — full days (9 AM-3:30 PM) with lunch provided. IOP is a step-down: shorter sessions (typically 3-3.5 hours) with morning, afternoon, or evening options. Both include individual therapy, group work, and medication management.

Yes. Telehealth and hybrid options are available for all program levels. You can attend sessions virtually or mix in-person and virtual based on your needs.

Absolutely. Individual family therapy sessions are available, and we host monthly family support groups via Zoom — open to any family member 18+, covering codependency, family systems, and how to support recovery effectively.

Getting Started

Most clients have some or all of PHP covered by insurance. We accept Anthem BCBS, Point 32 (Harvard Pilgrim + Tufts), Tricare, Uprise Health, and WellSense NH Medicaid. Affordable self-pay options and financial assistance are also available.

We verify your insurance before admission — it takes less than a minute. Call (857) 312-1697 or use our online form for a free, confidential verification.

PHP is ideal for adults stepping down from detox or residential treatment, those actively struggling with substance use who need daily structure, or anyone whose clinical assessment indicates the need for our highest level of outpatient care.

Your treatment team coordinates a step-down to IOP or outpatient care, connects you with external therapists and psychiatrists, and enrolls you in our alumni program for ongoing community support.

Flexible scheduling (change sessions daily), family-style environment, staff with lived recovery experience plus professional credentials, 12:1 counselor caseloads, and same-day admissions. We adapt to your life instead of demanding you adapt to ours.
