Phoenix House of New England Phoenix House Exeter Center

Phoenix House Exeter Center provides medical detox as the foundation of their addiction treatment continuum, offering medically supervised withdrawal management in a 24-hour care environment. The facility's medical detox program transitions seamlessly into residential treatment, allowing clients to progress through intensive care levels without disruption to their recovery process.

The residential treatment program addresses substance use disorders alongside co-occurring mental health conditions, with particular expertise in PTSD treatment and dual diagnosis care. Clinical programming incorporates both individual and family therapy components, recognizing that recovery extends beyond the individual to include family systems and support networks.

The center's sober living component serves as a critical bridge between intensive residential care and independent community living. This transitional housing option allows residents to practice recovery skills while maintaining structure and peer support, reducing the risk of relapse during early recovery phases.

Aftercare services extend the treatment relationship beyond residential stays, providing ongoing support and alumni connections that strengthen long-term recovery outcomes. These services help maintain therapeutic relationships and provide access to continuing care resources as individuals navigate ongoing recovery challenges.
