Structured PHP treatment from 9 AM to 3:30 PM in Salem, NH — evidence-based therapy, holistic healing, and a team that walks the trail with you.
Group therapy is the backbone of PHP at Trailhead. Daily skills groups in Dialectical Behavior Therapy build emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy teaches psychological flexibility — how to sit with discomfort and still move toward what matters.
Psychoeducation groups deepen your understanding of addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions. Relapse prevention sessions equip you with concrete strategies. Motivational exercise groups build physical resilience alongside the mental. Your treatment plan adapts to your preferences — 12-Step, SMART Recovery, Dharma Recovery, or a personalized blend.
Within 24 hours of admission, you'll meet with our on-site Nurse Practitioner for a comprehensive medical evaluation and personalized medication management plan — including Suboxone, Vivitrol, or other FDA-approved medications when clinically appropriate. Your PHP day runs 9 AM to 3:30 PM, Monday through Friday, with flexible scheduling that lets you mix morning, afternoon, or evening sessions.
Weekly individual therapy pairs you with a licensed clinician who works one-on-one using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to reshape the thought patterns that fuel addiction. Collaborative treatment planning ensures every clinical decision aligns with your goals.
Lunch is provided daily for every PHP client — not as an afterthought, but as a cornerstone of the program. Shared meals create the fellowship that becomes your recovery community. Some of the strongest bonds form over a table, in the informal moments between sessions.
Collaborative goal-setting happens here too — sitting with your treatment team, reviewing progress, adjusting plans. The table is where recovery stops being clinical and starts being human.
Recovery isn't confined to a building. Equine therapy at a local farm teaches trust, patience, and emotional awareness. Group hikes through New Hampshire's trails build endurance — physical and psychological. Bowling outings, mini golf, and community recovery events create opportunities to practice living fully without substances.
Holistic practices weave through every week: yoga strengthens the body, meditation quiets the mind, and breathwork teaches you to find calm in moments of crisis. These aren't extras — they're core to how we heal.
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. These aren't afterthoughts; transition planning begins from your first week.
Family therapy — available individually and through monthly Zoom support groups — helps repair relationships and gives your loved ones the education they need. 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.
