Friendship House Addiction Treatment

Alcohol and Other Drug (AoD) program’s goal is to provide a comprehensive community-based approach to the problem of alcoholism and other drug dependencies in Northern New Hampshire. AoD facilitates a continuum of care component in the North Country beginning with outpatient services (OP) in Woodsville; a clinically managed eleven-bed medium intensity residential treatment program (CMMIRT) and a five-bed clinically managed low intensity residential transitional living treatment program (CMHIRT) in Bethlehem.

These continuum of care components receive approximately fifteen thousand telephone calls per year from individuals throughout the state of New Hampshire who have expressed the following: use and abuse of alcohol and/or other drugs to the extent that their life has become unmanageable; feel a need to seek clinical treatment as provided by our programs; are willing to undergo a two-hour substance abuse assessment interview with our clinician(s) to determine the level of care and receive a referral into a proper treatment modality. During the interview process, the following issues and problems are discussed: loss of employment; loss of home and/or family relations; involvement in the legal system; involvement in domestic violence issues; and physical and mental well-being placed in jeopardy. Residents of Grafton, Coos and Carroll Counties receive priority; however, treatment is accessible to all residents throughout the state of New Hampshire.

Millions of Americans are confronted daily with the devastating impact of substance abuse. It is a disease that cuts across all boundaries, but it is a disease that can be treated. Whether the affected person is yourself, a friend or a loved one, the Friendship House, A Tri-County Community Action Program Alcohol and Other Drugs (AoD) can make a difference.
