About Granite Recovery Center – Salem
Granite Recovery Centers is an organization with multiple addiction treatment centers throughout New Hampshire and Maine, including a location in Salem, New Hampshire where clients can receive addiction recovery services at New Freedom Academy. They offer an inpatient program, an intensive outpatient program (IOP) and a partial hospitalization program (PHP).
Their IOP services are for those who have completed inpatient treatment or have less severe substance abuse issues. Clients attend the intensive outpatient program between 9:00 a.m. and 12:20 pm, participating in three groups a day. The facility serves breakfast and lunch to clients during this time period. Specialized programs are also available for young adults and veterans.
New Freedom Academy provides 24-hour care and uses different therapies and medication to treat patients in residential rehab. They have the option of multiple therapeutic approaches, including dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).
Clients can choose to either have a room to themselves or live with a roommate. The schedule throughout the day will consist of individual and group counseling sessions. Some group sessions that patients will participate in are the nutrition and wellness group and the therapeutic community group. Most patients, on average, will stay at the facility for 30 days. If the substance use disorder is severe, clients will stay longer than 30 days.
Short term residential care involves the same treatments but for a shorter duration of usually three to six weeks. The addictions treated at New Freedom Academy include cocaine, alcohol, and codeine. Combined with individual and group therapy, staff members also provide clients with yoga therapy, recreational therapy, and PTSD treatment.
