  • Manchester and other cities in New Hampshire have seen a significant increase in drug overdose deaths. 

    Since 2012, overdose deaths in the state have risen by 200 percent, prompting cities to take a more proactive approach to control drug abuse, especially opioid misuse. 

    Expanding addiction treatment centers is part of the plan. Currently, Manchester has around 38 facilities for substance abuse treatment, and they range from outpatient counseling to live-in residential treatment centers. 

    How To Find & Choose Addiction Treatment In Manchester

    New Hampshire offers a program called The Doorway that can help residents find state-sponsored treatment in key cities, including Manchester and Nashua. 

    The Doorway provides resources for those looking for drug or alcohol treatment. It connects you to specific state-sponsored drug or alcohol rehab in various New Hampshire regions. 

    You can also find recovery programs in New Hampshire by:

    After you gather information on available treatment options in New Hampshire or throughout New England, the next step is to look at the rehab facility’s qualifications:

    • They must have the proper accreditation from The Joint Commission or other organizations that certify treatment providers for a high-standard care protocol.
    • They should offer you an individualized treatment plan. This will help to ensure they get the level of care you need.
    • They must provide mental health treatment as well as addiction services. Look for the terms co-occurring disorders or dual diagnosis.
    • Ask about family involvement in the treatment program to help motivate your loved ones to be a part of your recovery. 
    • Inquire about a continuum of care, which means the recovery center provides support through every step of your addiction recovery journey.

    Once you have a pretty good idea of what treatment facility is best for you, make a list of your specific treatment goals and write down your substance abuse history. 

    Manchester Drug & Alcohol Treatment Programs

    Manchester offers all kinds of rehab programs and treatment services, so you should be able to find one that suits your individual situation. The city, or a treatment specialist, can also help determine which treatment program is best by administering a substance abuse assessment.

    They can help you decide if you need drug or alcohol detox, residential treatment, outpatient treatment, or other specialized recovery services. 

    Medical Drug & Alcohol Detox

    Detoxification is one of the most challenging parts of alcohol or drug treatment. Choosing to go through a detox program means you don’t have to go through withdrawal alone. 

    These treatment programs provide medical support to help you manage the withdrawal symptoms should a medical emergency occur. Although detox programs don’t treat drug addiction, they help prepare you for treatment at an alcohol or drug rehab center.

    Residential/Inpatient Drug Rehab

    Inpatient or residential treatment is a live-in environment where you undergo both individual and group counseling. Living with others working toward recovery allows you to benefit from and provide peer support. 

    Residential treatment centers may also offer targeted programs for those with a co-occurring mental health condition. They also offer other activities, such as drug education, nutrition counseling, and on-site support groups. 

    Outpatient Addiction Treatment

    Outpatient treatment tends to be a more flexible option than residential care. You can undergo treatment for a substance use disorder while still living at home with family or friends.

    Some choose this option because it is less expensive. It may also allow you to continue working or going to school during your treatment. 

    Medication-Assisted Treatment

    Medication-assisted Treatment (MAT) provides medications that help address opioid or alcohol abuse to reduce cravings, lower dependence, and help you finish treatment. 

    At the same time, you go through behavioral therapy to break the habits that may trigger substance abuse. The combination of medication and treatment offers some of the best options for those with an opioid or alcohol use disorder. 

    Aftercare Support

    Aftercare services start after you graduate from a primary treatment program. The goal is to provide support for you as you transition back into the community. 

    Treatment programs may offer sober-living housing, education, job assistance, or transportation to support group meetings. 

    Using Insurance For Addiction Treatment In Manchester

    Insurance can play an essential role in getting you substance abuse treatment. Most treatment providers offer some coverage for drug rehab. Many rehab centers may require you to pay copayments and coinsurance fees, though some may offer payment assistance. 

    Learn more about your insurance by first understanding the type of plan you have, which could be a Medicaid, Medicare, or private health insurance plan. 

    Gather information about your health insurance coverage by:

    • calling the number of the back of your insurance card
    • calling 211 from any phone. The addiction specialist will be able to tell you what to expect from your insurance company.
    • contacting a treatment provider
