Find the Best Drug & Alcohol Rehab Facilities in New Hampshire

The number of people in New Hampshire receiving treatment for a substance use disorder increases every year; in 2015, single-day count surveying revealed that more than 8,000 people were enrolled in NH substance abuse treatment programs, up from under 6,000 in 2011.¹ What’s even more concerning is that this is just a small portion of the people suffering from addiction. A survey found that less than 11% of people actually receive addiction treatment when they need it.²

It’s important that those who are suffering from drug dependence and addiction get the help they need and complete a full treatment program at a rehab facility. Without professional medical help, you or your loved one are at risk of overdose and other physical and mental health complications. You may think overdose won’t happen to you, but, in reality, if you are abusing drugs, you are at risk. Overdoses are happening every day in New Hampshire. The state continues to have one of the highest overdose rates in the United States. In 2015 alone, overdose deaths in the state rose to 422, an increase of almost 100 deaths from the previous year.³

With so many rehab options available, searching for the right center for you can be overwhelming. Don’t let this delay you from getting the help you need; there are ways to make your search easier:

• Make a list of all your “must-haves”. Is it essential that you have privacy? Do you prefer a single-gender facility? Think about all the things you need to make your recovery a success, and filter your search results accordingly.
• Do some research into the types of therapies provided at the facility. Make sure you understand what type of help the facility offers and decide whether those methods are right for you. Reading about the credentials and experience of the staff can also help you make your final decision.

Addiction treatment can range anywhere from $600 a day for a detox program to $58,000 for an entire 90-day program.⁴ Don’t let the cost stop you from getting help—there are several options to help you pay for treatment.

If you need financial assistance, you may be able to get help from:

• Health insurance. Medicaid, Medicare, and private health insurance may cover all or part of your rehab costs.
• Rehab centers. Some facilities offer payment plans to remove the burden of having to make a lump sum payment. Some also offer sliding fee scales to low-income individuals.
• Personal loans.
• State-funded rehab centers. Run by the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services, these facilities provide free detox treatment and support services if you are a low-income earner, do not have adequate insurance, and meet the eligibility requirements.
