About NFA Canterbury – Inpatient Mental Health Treatment

New Freedom Academy is a Granite Recovery Center that treats those with mental health and substance use disorders in Canterbury, New Hampshire. You’ll get medical detox, addiction medication, and therapy either as a live-in client, or on a part time basis.

You’ll find them tucked away in peaceful farmlands in a beautiful facility surrounded by 17 acres of tall trees and fresh breezes. There’s also two ponds nearby and a motor speedway down the road if racing helps you relax.

Detox At Your Level in Quiet Canterbury

Removing the substances from your system is the first step in recovery. While everyone goes through detox, your needs, levels of discomfort, and what will help you to stay safe depend on many factors. This includes how long you’ve been using, what substances you’ve been hooked on, and how much you used each time. Here, you’ll get the right level of detox under the care of medical professionals.

Conquering Addiction and Mental Health Issues Using REST

Your treatment will use their recovery education and skills training method. I love that they’ve combined their clinical know-how and practices with the trusted 12 Step method. If you’re experiencing any addiction related mental health issues such as post traumatic stress, anxiety or depression.

Another aspect of recovery that I appreciate here is their holistic therapy options. If you have a chronic illness they’ll take you through the Illness Management and Recovery program. They offer therapy for grief and loss as well as anger management. For those who’ve been through trauma or abuse, find respite in the Seeking Safety.

Your group time isn’t limited to pure therapy, but you can also join the art and/or music group. Express your emotions through art or music groups or learn practical ways to manage your stress with the Stress Management group. As an alternative to 12 Step recovery, you can do SMART Recovery, which has less of a spiritual emphasis.
