Programs at GateHouse Treatment Center

GateHouse Recovery Center extends the following programs to clients according to their personal circumstances and addiction severity:

Detoxification

GateHouse Treatment claims to be one of the leading substance use disorder rehabs in MA and NH. These programs take place in New Hampshire at a convenient location and focus on delivering individualized care. Following are some components of a detox program at GateHouse addiction treatment New Hampshire:

• Expert clinical care
• Trauma therapy
• 12-step immersion program
• Safe and supervised housing
• Life skills
• Case management services

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

As suggested by the name, a partial hospitalization program at GateHouse Rehab combines the residential and outpatient services while giving some flexibility to patients. Despite being a bit flexible, a PHP maintains a higher level of structure than other levels of care. This program can be an excellent choice for people who have achieved some stability after completing a detox program but are not ready for the independence that a standard treatment program provides them. Hence, a PHP acts as a stepping-stone before patients can go into a much more accommodating schedule.

Contrary to an inpatient program involving full-time residential care, a PHP allows clients to continue living at home or a shared residence as they attend therapy and treatment. When clients begin a PHP at GateHouse, they participate in six hours of therapy six days a week, which involves individual and group sessions. They return to a sober living arrangement or home following each day. Following are some aspects a PHP focuses on:

• Helping clients develop communication skills through regular participation in social interactions
• Addressing family relationships and helping clients rebuild connections
• Support in finding employment and learning time management skills between recovery and employment searches
• Continued structure and discipline during clinical programs
• Immersion into 12-step programs, like Narcotics Anonymous and Alcoholics Anonymous

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

As a part of the intensive outpatient program, experts help people step down from a partial hospitalization program into the community. An IOP is less-intensive than a PHP and runs for 30 hours per week, involving various group and clinical sessions that last for months. Clients enrolling in this program can enjoy structure much more freely while continuing their familial obligations and other commitments. This increased freedom also allows patients to learn more about relapse prevention methods.

At GateHouse Treatment, an IOP provides various components to its clients, such as family therapy, individual sessions, community housing, medication management, etc. Some top goals of this level of care include the following:

• Client education on the successful management of recovery and work schedules
• Availability of peer support in group sessions
• Provision of new information, life skills, and guidance by group leaders on adopting and practicing new behaviors
• Reinforcement of Structure and Discipline in a treatment plan
• Advancing individual recovery and healthy living

Outpatient Program (OP)

The outpatient program is one of the most flexible levels of care at GateHouse that tailors to a client’s individual needs. This level of care is the best for people with mild substance use disorders and can also benefit those who have already completed more intensive programs. As an outpatient, clients can continue living an independent life at home while tending to their social, work, and personal duties and applying their addiction-tackling skills to these lives from time to time.

Patients enrolled in outpatient programs at GateHouse have stable jobs as they attend meetings and 12-step workshops, and one-to-one sessions with a case manager or therapist twice a week. Other components of this program may include the following:

• Reinforcement of accountability to maintain long-term sobriety
• Individual and group therapy
• Case management services, focusing on various aspects like managing finances and legal/medical issues
• Relapse prevention education
• Supporting clients with managing employment finances and family matters
• Regular appointments with the medical team to address issues related to medication and healthcare

Family Program

GateHouse New Hampshire runs a family program in the form of the following two phases:

• Phase One involves the initial thirty days, during which the family members will be in minimal contact with their loved ones. This break in communication gives clients a chance to focus on themselves and begin the healing process without any distractions. During this 30-day window, the staff members constantly work to assess and understand every client as thoroughly as possible to form a better understanding with them while determining the best course of action they need. Family members may feel distressed and distant, but they must remember that their loved ones are in a safe space, surrounded by experts. The staff team will keep updating them every week through case management calls.
• Phase Two: Once the staff deems it appropriate, family members can become a part of their loved one’s treatment. This participation may occur in the form of bi-weekly sessions with experienced therapists. Moreover, family members will spend more time with clients to improve their relationships. Therapists will help family members learn how to form healthy boundaries and maintain them while communicating with their loved ones in treatment. The family can also go for individualized family therapy alongside their loved ones
