About Coos County Family Health Services
Coos County Family Health Services in Berlin, NH offers outpatient substance use treatment for men, women, pregnant women, and individuals who are Deaf or hard of hearing. The program addresses co-occurring disorders and trauma alongside addiction, and accepts Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance, and sliding-scale payment options.
Coos County Family Health Services is a substance use treatment center located at 133 Pleasant Street in Berlin, New Hampshire, within Coos County. The facility operates under NCQA accreditation, a credential that reflects a commitment to measurable quality standards in behavioral health and primary care services. For families and individuals in northern New Hampshire evaluating longer-term recovery options, this center represents an established, community-embedded resource rather than a large regional chain.
The center provides an outpatient program as its primary level of care for substance abuse treatment. Outpatient programming allows people to engage in structured addiction treatment while continuing to live at home, maintain work or family responsibilities, and stay connected to their local community — a format that many people in recovery find essential for sustaining long-term sobriety. This level of care also positions the program as a natural fit for aftercare planning following more intensive treatment elsewhere.
Clinically, Coos County Family Health Services uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a core therapeutic method. CBT is widely used in addiction treatment to help people identify and change thought patterns that contribute to substance use. The program also addresses co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis, recognizing that many people in recovery are simultaneously managing mental health conditions such as trauma and PTSD — a reality that generic single-focus programs often underserve.
The outpatient program serves men, women, pregnant women, and individuals who are Deaf or hard of hearing, reflecting a notably broad and inclusive population focus. Payment access is extensive, covering Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance, state insurance, self-pay, sliding-scale fees, and financial assistance — removing cost as a barrier to beginning or continuing recovery. For individuals and families seeking a recovery center that meets people where they are in northern New Hampshire, Coos County Family Health Services offers a grounded, accessible option.
Outpatient Recovery Program in Berlin, NH
Coos County Family Health Services offers outpatient substance use treatment for people at various stages of the recovery journey. The outpatient program format is designed for individuals who are ready to engage in structured, consistent treatment while remaining in their home environment — making it a practical option for those balancing family obligations, employment, or other commitments alongside their recovery work.
Because outpatient treatment keeps participants rooted in their communities, it can serve as both a primary level of care and a step-down option for people transitioning from more intensive residential or inpatient settings. This connection between treatment and real-life context is one reason outpatient programming is a cornerstone of long-term addiction recovery planning.
Co-Occurring Disorders and Trauma-Informed Care
Many people seeking substance abuse treatment are also living with mental health conditions that interact with addiction. Coos County Family Health Services directly addresses co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis within its outpatient program, as well as trauma and PTSD — conditions that frequently underlie or complicate substance use disorders.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) forms a documented part of the clinical approach. CBT helps individuals in recovery examine the connections between thought patterns, emotional responses, and behavior — skills that remain relevant well beyond the formal treatment period and support sustained sobriety.

The outpatient program at Coos County Family Health Services is open to men, women, and pregnant women seeking substance use treatment.

This inclusive population focus means the program is equipped to support a wide range of people in northern New Hampshire who are working toward recovery, regardless of where they are in that process.
Payment Options and Insurance Coverage
Coos County Family Health Services accepts a wide range of payment sources for its substance use treatment services, including Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance, and state insurance.
