Do you take Blue Cross Blue Shield, Harvard Pilgrim, Tufts or UnitedHealthcare?
Our Londonderry program works with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, Harvard Pilgrim, Tufts Health Plan, Point32Health, Ambetter, AmeriHealth, NH Healthy Families, WellSense, TRICARE and VA Community Care, and more. Call
(603) 769-8981 and we will verify your exact plan in minutes at no cost.
Do you have detox?
Medical detox is not provided on site at either of our locations. If you need detox first, we help arrange it with a partner detox facility and plan the step into our outpatient programs once it is complete. Call and we will coordinate both.
Where can I get alcohol detox in New Hampshire?
Not on site at Clear Steps Recovery, which has no detox or overnight beds. When alcohol detox has to come first, we arrange it with a partner detox facility, and The Doorway NH, reached 24/7 by dialing
211, helps people across the state access every level of treatment. Once detox is complete, you step down into Day Treatment (PHP), IOP or Evening IOP at our Londonderry center, with your first day scheduled for when you are discharged. Call
(603) 769-8981 and admissions coordinates both.
Can I start the same day?
Often, yes. Call, we verify your insurance in minutes, and a confidential assessment with a licensed clinician is often available the same day. When your program starts depends on the assessment and the level of care recommended.
What are your evening hours?
Evening IOP meets Monday through Thursday from 6 to 9 pm at our Londonderry center. Daytime programs run on weekdays, and the admissions line is answered 24 hours a day.
Is there parking?
Yes. Free on-site parking, including accessible spaces, at 1D Commons Drive, just off Route 102 and minutes from I-93 Exit 4.
Do you offer virtual or telehealth treatment?
Yes. A virtual option is available for adults who cannot attend in person, delivered by the same licensed clinicians. Ask admissions whether it fits the level of care you need.
How much does treatment cost?
Most people use insurance. We verify your benefits at no cost before anything is scheduled, then explain any deductible or copay up front so there are no surprises. If you do not have insurance, call and we will talk through what is available.
Do you accept Medicare?
We are not in network with Medicare at this time. If Medicare is your primary insurance, FindTreatment.gov, the federal treatment locator, can point you to programs that accept it. If you have another plan alongside Medicare, call and we will check it.
Do you take NH Medicaid?
Yes. Our Londonderry program works with New Hampshire Medicaid, including Granite Advantage plans such as WellSense, NH Healthy Families and AmeriHealth Caritas NH.
What should I bring to my first appointment?
A photo ID, your insurance card, a list of any medications you take, and the name of any doctor or program you have seen recently. If you do not have all of it, come anyway and we will sort out the rest. Wear whatever is comfortable.
Which New Hampshire towns do you serve?
Adults come to our Londonderry center from Manchester, Nashua, Derry, Salem, Windham, Hudson, Merrimack, Bedford, Concord and across southern New Hampshire. Evening IOP and our virtual option make treatment workable even with a commute. Town pages cover the drive from each:

How much does rehab cost in New Hampshire?
There is no single number. Outpatient rehab is billed by level of care and by session, so Day Treatment (PHP) costs more per week than IOP, and IOP more than weekly outpatient care. Most people at our Londonderry center use insurance, and we verify your benefits with the carrier at no cost before anything is scheduled. Without insurance, New Hampshire Medicaid or The Doorway NH (
dial 211) can open state-funded options, and admissions talks through self-pay case by case.
Do you have to pay to go to rehab for drugs?
Usually the plan pays most of it. Federal parity law requires plans that cover addiction treatment to do so on terms comparable to other medical care, and New Hampshire Medicaid, through Granite Advantage plans such as WellSense, NH Healthy Families and AmeriHealth Caritas NH, covers substance use treatment at our Londonderry program. If you have no coverage at all,
dial 211 for The Doorway NH, the state's entry point to treatment, which has financial assistance available, or call us and ask about self-pay.
How long does a person stay in rehab for drugs?
At an outpatient program you go home every day, so the question is how many weeks, not how many nights. At Clear Steps Recovery, Day Treatment (PHP) is often a few weeks before stepping down, IOP is often several weeks to a few months, and the Outpatient Program continues on a lighter weekly schedule for as long as it helps. Your assessment sets the starting point and your progress sets the pace.
What is the difference between PHP and IOP in New Hampshire?
Hours and structure. Day Treatment, which insurers call PHP, is full clinical days on weekdays, about 20 or more hours a week. IOP is about nine to twelve hours a week, either during business hours or on Monday through Thursday evenings from 6 to 9 pm. Both run at our Londonderry center with the same clinicians, and most people move from one to the other as they stabilize. See our
IOP vs PHP comparison for the full side-by-side.
What are some outpatient mental health treatment options in New Hampshire?
For adults whose mental health struggles sit alongside substance use, our Londonderry programs treat both at once. Anxiety, depression and trauma are addressed inside Day Treatment, IOP and outpatient care through cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy and individual counseling with master's-level clinicians, with medication oversight from our Medical Director, Dr. Richard Marasa, MD. If substance use is not part of the picture, admissions can point you toward the right kind of program.
Can The Doorway send me to Clear Steps Recovery?
The Doorway makes referrals to treatment programs across New Hampshire, and you can ask for outpatient care in Londonderry. Clear Steps Recovery is independent, not part of The Doorway, so the simplest route is to call
(603) 769-8981 yourself or ask your Doorway contact to call. Admissions verifies your insurance and books an assessment, the same day in many cases. Bring any referral or evaluation summary you have.
Can you help my family plan an intervention?
Yes, in the planning sense. A parent, partner or sibling can make the first call, describe what is going on and learn what a same-day assessment, a benefits check and a first day would look like, so the offer of treatment is concrete when you make it. Clear Steps Recovery is a treatment provider rather than an intervention service, so we coordinate with the professional you choose and keep the clinical side ready. Read more about
