Detoxification is often the first step that addicts face when deciding to confront an addiction. Addiction often comes with serious physical and mental withdrawal symptoms when clients cease using certain drugs. There are a number of variables that determine whether a person should participate in medically-monitored detox from drugs. They are:

• Substance type (alcohol, meth, heroin, etc)
• Time elapsed since last use
• Amount of substance used
• Presence of co-occurring disorder (dual-diagnosis)
• Other medications used
• The person is not a danger to themself or others
• The person does not need medical intervention
• The person is capable of self-evacuation in the event of an emergency

Medical detox facilities can be on-site at an inpatient drug rehab facility, but most often are offered separately and in a different location than the residential rehab. Detox can be conducted at hospitals, detox specialty centers, or in conjunction with residential care. They also vary based on the level of care, and are typically designated as acute or sub-acute. Acute level detox refers to overdose and life-threatening care, whereas subacute is for non-emergency detox. Granite Recovery Centers offers an on-site subacute medical detox supervised by medical professionals at our Green Mountain Treatment Center in Effingham, New Hampshire. Granite Recovery Centers provides medical detoxification for people who do not need immediate medical intervention, are not a danger to themselves, and are capable of self-evacuation in the event of an emergency.

A major consideration when searching for drug rehab care is determining what type of treatment you should have: inpatient or outpatient. Inpatient drug rehab or residential treatment centers provide 24-hour care for clients with drug or alcohol addictions. Inpatient rehab typically involves staying at a residential facility where clients participate in:

• focused recovery programs
• skill-building sessions
• group and individual therapy
• community-based exercises
• clinical psychotherapy
• exercise holistic therapy
• 12-Step curricula (if offered)

Inpatient drug rehab programs at Granite Recovery Centers offer 24-hour support for recovering clients in a safe, beautiful, and encouraging environment. Our inpatient drug rehab programs provide clients with supervised, structured living that includes community building, the practice and development of life skills, individual and group therapy from licensed clinicians, physical exercise, recovery-oriented study, and recreation. Combining a base of 12-step work with evidence-based clinical therapy, Our New Hampshire drug rehab centers’ unique approach to treatment draws from these two highly effective and proven recovery techniques to provide each client with individualized care.

With outpatient care, clients usually live at home or in a sober living home and attend therapy and other forms of care at a separate outpatient facility. Outpatient care is often appropriate for clients who need continued structure and guidance following primary care at an inpatient facility. As with inpatient rehab, outpatient programming varies greatly from facility to facility, but often have the following features:

• Group therapy
• 12-Step workshops/meetings (if applicable)
• Case management
• Holistic classes (yoga, meditation, etc)
• Skill-building workshops
• Career/education resources
• Access to psychotherapy

Granite Recovery Centers’ outpatient drug rehab services are 12-step-based and include the same integration of step work with evidence-based psychotherapy that is core to our treatment philosophy. We also utilize holistic therapies, meetings and workshops, and education in building recovery and life skills that help clients stay on track for continued recovery. Optional medication management, goal setting, and group work are also included in our Intensive Outpatient Program.

Aftercare in the form of sober living, is all about transitioning back into independent living, and giving individuals continued resources, direction, and purpose as they continue on their recovery journey. It’s also about offering strategies and techniques when temptation or difficult circumstances inevitably arise.

Granite Recovery Centers has options for aftercare rehab in four New Hampshire locations for those who desire the continued structure and support of post-primary care.

Our Aftercare Programs feature the following:

• Daily/weekly meetings and workshops
