About Center for Life Management – Derry
Center of Life Management is a multidisciplinary healthcare practice in Derry, New Hampshire. They provide healthcare like primary care and an onsite pharmacy, but they also have mental health care including treatment for substance use disorders. They largely focus on the connection between physical and mental health.
This treatment center takes a holistic approach. They focus on not only getting you sober but fostering personal growth so you can enjoy a healthier and happier life in recovery. By integrating your mental health care and addiction treatment with your medical care they help you turn your life around in a sustainable and fulfilling way.
They help people of all ages cope with a family members’ addiction. Programs and services that work with children as young as preschool age, as well as youth and young adult programming are available. For example, they provide support that focuses on the wellbeing of children during sudden life changes.
They have a comprehensive array of outpatient treatments, and their outpatient group therapy is available in person or virtually. They provide cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), which are both talk therapies and typically performed in a group setting. If someone isn’t quite ready to jump into treatment there is motivational interviewing (MI), which helps you view and compare what the addiction provides and also takes away from your life — helping to put it in perspective.
They also have some newer treatments that don’t involve talking or groups. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) therapy uses magnets to stimulate different neural-pathways in your brain to change behaviors.
They have acute adult services which help during crises. These work similarly to an emergency room but for mental health care. The services are provided by mental health and substance abuse trained staff, and the facility offers a more welcoming atmosphere than an emergency room. It gives you a place to turn where you know you are being seen by staff trained in mental health first aid for crisis.
