A 2022 survey conducted by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) revealed that 17.3% of Americans 12 and older have a substance use disorder.1 This means that 48.7 million U.S. residents in that same age group live each day with this disruptive condition. Despite these figures, help and hope are available in New Hampshire via a host of detox facilities and alcohol and drug rehabs.

Among them, The Plymouth House offers medically managed detox, residential/inpatient care, and a partial hospitalization program (PHP). Situated on 60 acres of beautiful countryside, our rehab center near Haverhill, NH, provides a pristine and powerful place for healing.

Drug Detox & Addiction Treatment  Services Near Haverhill, NH

Our NH drug detox and rehab center provides services related to a wide variety of substances, including everything from alcohol and opioids to stimulants and other prescription drugs. Detox is often the first step of the recovery process for those whose substance misuse has progressed to the point of physical dependence. During detox, medical and supervisory staff monitor clients 24/7 and provide care and medications as needed to ensure they are safe and as comfortable as possible during the withdrawal process. 

After completing detox, clients often progress to an inpatient level of substance use treatment. During this process, clients address the mental, emotional, and spiritual impact of their previous addictive cycles. Mental health professionals accomplish this by using a variety of therapeutic modalities including individual therapy, group counseling, and substance use education.

Disorders & Addictions We Treat at Our New Hampshire Treatment Facility

Once the body develops dependence on a substance, individuals typically experience withdrawal symptoms when they significantly curtail or stop substance use. Without medical care and monitoring, withdrawal from some substances can be dangerous. Thus, medically managed detox ensures patients are safe and as comfortable as possible during detox. Following detox, clients typically transition to residential and/or outpatient care. 

The Plymouth House offer medical detox and treatment services for disorders related to a host of addictive substances, including:

• Alcohol
• Opioids 
• Stimulants
• Benzodiazepines
• Other prescription drugs

Prescription Drug Detox

Prescription drugs are a classification of substances requiring a doctor’s permission to obtain. Certainly, not all prescription drugs can lead to addiction and dependence. However, some of the more common substances of misuse include stimulants like Adderall and Ritalin as well as depressants like hydrocodone and Xanax.  The symptoms associated with prescription drug withdrawal vary depending on the medication. As such, detox varies according to a host of factors, including the substance used as well as duration and severity of use, frequency of use, and various personal factors. 

Alcohol Detox

Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant. Life-threatening side effects like seizures and extreme dehydration can develop if someone who has developed alcohol dependence suddenly stops drinking.2 Because of these risks, some form of medically managed alcohol detox is recommended. At The Plymouth House, alcohol rehab patients are closely monitored to ensure safety and to promote comfort during this potentially precarious time. 

Opioid Detox

Opioids are a type of central nervous system depressant available in both legal and illegal forms. Frequently misused opioids include substances like oxycodone, hydrocodone, heroin, fentanyl, and methadone. Opioid withdrawal can often include intense flu-like symptoms (among others) that often prompt people to resume use to eliminate the discomfort. Though the symptoms are rarely life-threatening, trained medical professionals can provide the necessary medical care to minimize discomfort and ensure safety through the opioid detox process.

Stimulant Detox

Stimulants are a classification of drugs intended to speed up or stimulate the central nervous system. These include both legal and illegal substances like Adderall, Ritalin, cocaine, and methamphetamine. Though detox from these substances may be physically mild, the mental and emotional recovery can be intense. Trained medical and mental health clinicians at The Plymouth House guide clients through the initial phases of managing these physical, mental, and emotional side effects.

Benzodiazepine Detox

Benzodiazepines, or benzos, are frequently prescribed to treat anxiety and panic attacks. Due to their powerful impact on the brain, sudden cessation of these substances can result in severe side effects like seizures or psychotic episodes, some of which can be life-threatening. Through proper mental health and medical care during detox, these symptoms can be minimized, allowing clients to overcome the physical effects and progress to the next stages of their recovery journey.

Synthetic Drug Detox

Synthetic drugs are a broad term to describe mood-altering substances that are typically made in a lab and are intended to mimic the effects of other substances. These can include marijuana substitutes as well as powerful opioids like fentanyl and methadone. The qualified staff at The Plymouth House assess each synthetic drug misuse client to determine their specific needs and recovery goals. 

Our Levels of Care for Substance Use Recovery

At The Plymouth House, we are dedicated to providing care throughout clients’ entire treatment journey. We offer multiple levels of care that include:

• Medical Detoxification (Detox) — During this level of care, clients are medically monitored 24/7 to ensure they’re safe and as comfortable as possible during withdrawal.
• Inpatient Treatment — Throughout inpatient treatment, participants address the mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of their addictive cycles. This is accomplished through a multitude of therapeutic modalities including individual therapy, group counseling, substance misuse education, and recovery-based activities.
• Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) — Our PHP allows clients to receive a similar level of care as an inpatient program. However, clients live at home or in a sober living environment during care. This enables some clients to maintain work, school, and/or family obligations while receiving intensive care. 

Substance Use Treatment Therapies

At The Plymouth House, we are dedicated to the use of evidence-based practices. This means each of our clients receives treatment therapies with a proven track record of success in substance use treatment. These therapies include:

• Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) — CBT is the most widely used form of talk therapy in an addiction treatment center. This therapeutic approach focuses on understanding the relationship between triggers, thoughts, feelings, and actions to change the outcomes of future behavior patterns.
• Dialectical-Behavior Therapy (DBT) — DBT is a specialized form of CBT that focuses on self-destructive thought and behavior patterns.
• Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) — EMDR is a method of treating past trauma by introducing external stimuli through eye movement to rewire the brain’s ability to process memories.
