NEW FREEDOM ACADEMY IN CANTERBURY, NH

Excellent experience here, this treatment saved my life. Great food, great staff, overall an amazing service provided by NFA in Canterbury.

My two stays at NFA Canterbury were exactly what I needed. I had been to a few 12 step programs and so what NFA offered with their behavioral health program was just the ticket. So powerful to work on the mind and bring mental health into clarity and focus. NFA sits in remote Canterbury and the isolation and seclusion from the world really helped me to disconnect and focus on the work. It is a beautiful campus. What is even more beautiful is the exceptional staff who all go out of their way to make your stay the growing experience it should be. They will push you and champion you gradually allowing you to find your journey back to autonomy.The community is top notch, the food is great,and there are a lot of activities for clients to engage in. I cannot say enough good things about NFA!

Best Facility hands down. I had an incredible experience. The staff is welcoming and knowledgeable from the counselors, to the therapist and case managers to the nurses and behavioral technicians. My stay was excellent and I can’t thank the NFA Team enough.

I went here in September 2020, and i got off to a rough start. But once i listened and actually took suggestion's, I really got the most I’ve ever got out of the 50+ times I’ve been to rehab/detox. A guy named Trevor worked there when I was there and he was someone I could really click with. Sit down with and talk about the hard things to speak about and to not feel any type of animosity was truly the begging to my recovery. To say I succeed that time would be a lie. But it would open my mind to actually trying. I’m coming up on 2 years clean now and I still wear my Granite state recovery tshirt all the time. I would strongly suggest this place to ANYONE. They really go above and beyond if you’re actually willing to turn your life around. And there mental health providers really know their stuff so listen to them. Even though we think we know better. 10 out of 10 for NFA

Best. Treatment. Facility. Around. I stayed at NFA Canterbury for 3 months and loved every single second. The staff here are beyond amazing. I was so engaged in all groups. My therapist and case manager were nothing short of incredible. NFA holds a very special place in my heart & will forever. I recommend it to absolutely anyone looking for substance use/mental health treatment.

I just graduated from NFA and I was extremely grateful to have done my substance abuse treatment through them. I miss the staff and clients greatly and have just left there on May 18th of 2023. I arrived there February 14th of 2023 hopeless and broken and they helped me to get my life back. I'm so grateful for NFA

I’ve read some older negative BS about NFA here n there… not able contact a loved one attending, wanting info/updates about client, staff not having a clue etc. seriously if their was a sure fire fix for us addicts, we wouldn’t have to go beyond Google, but if ya got the answer post up (challenge for all)Addicts go to escape demons that are beyond rehab grounds, not invite them in. So you may need to accept that they are in good hands, and the best update about an addict is knowing they are still in treatment. Took me almost 3 weeks to dip my toes back in to what needed to be put on hold and being forced would have added to the ups and downs of early sobriety possibly even ruining what I had only just begun. The staff is/was amazing, and go above and beyond for the 20 or so clients (addicts) relearning the basics of living life sober. Frustration and complications…hell yea I’m sure we all had some sort of moment that we felt was crippling. The FACT is, most can’t go thru a drive thru without complaining, so don’t expect smooth sailing with 20 addicts from different walks of life trying to get clean, while toxins are dripping from pores ya didn’t kno ya had, and each one having more emotions and hot flashes than a woman starting menopause. If ya don’t get that u live under a rock. Seriously kudos to all the staff for having the patience to not only deal with me but the other 19 infants as we try to pull our big boy/girl pants back up! Thank you and nothing but respect for all of the staff!! Especially Chelsea, Anthony n Trevor (in order of whom I tortured most) I’m sure you had your doubts but I’m still here cause of you. So be proud at the end each shift, you don’t always get the praise you deserve but the hearts you have touched is worth so much more!! Love you guys!!!
