Harbor Care Health and Wellness Center

Harbor Care is a mental health support and drug and alcohol addiction recovery based in Nashua, New Hampshire. Harbor Care helps individuals and their families achieve stability following crises and times of personal difficulty through comprehensive, person centered care. They are a nonprofit facility with clinical amenities.

Harbor Care is a network of service providers catering to the needs of New Hampshire residents. In addition to mental health and addiction care, they have housing, veteran, and HIV/AIDS programs available.

Residential treatment is a high level of care designed for clients with severe symptoms considered high risk. During inpatient care, they reside on campus under a set of restrictions to limit the risk of relapse and keep them safe. Clients are under staff monitoring throughout their stay.

Clients work with a care team to develop their treatment based on need. Treatment uses evidence backed therapies and holistic methods alongside education opportunities to help clients better understand the nature of addiction and their triggers while developing coping skills that support continued recovery.

Clients who complete inpatient care can transition into the outpatient program, or it can be entered into directly by clients with less intrusive symptoms. During outpatient programming, clients live at home and visit the campus for treatment sessions on a regular, relaxed schedule. The same therapies used in the residential program are used in outpatient care.

The medical team at Harbor Care may prescribe clients medication to help them overcome addiction or mental health symptoms that prevent them from focusing on treatment and recovery. Traditionally, MAT is used in treating opioid use disorder but can be applied in other cases if an assessment suggests it would help a client. Those receiving MAT are closely observed for adverse effects and to track their health.
