About Wentworth-Douglass Hospital
Wentworth-Douglass Hospital is a full-service facility in Dover, New Hampshire that provides behavioral health services and substance use disorder support as part of its broader medical care.
Through its Behavioral Health department and The Doorway program, the hospital provides substance use assessments, resource navigation, outpatient counseling and psychiatric medication management for children, adolescents and adults.
As part of the Mass General Brigham system, Wentworth-Douglass combines hospital medical expertise with community-based behavioral health support to meet patients wherever they are in their recovery journey.
Substance Use Assessment and Referral
The Doorway at Wentworth-Douglass serves as a low-barrier access point for individuals seeking help with substance use concerns in the Seacoast region. Keep in mind that detox is not available here directly, but they can connect you with a detox center and provide a referral.
Licensed alcohol and drug counselors provide walk-in and scheduled assessments, connect patients with community resources and coordinate referrals to appropriate levels of treatment.
This hospital-based approach means patients can access substance use support alongside broader medical services which is especially helpful for those who may need integrated medical and behavioral care.
The Doorway Treatment Program
The Doorway focuses on meeting people at the first step, simplifying the path from initial outreach to treatment connection.
Through Great Bay Mental Health, Wentworth-Douglass also offers outpatient counseling, along with psychiatric medication management.
Services are available to support co-occurring mental health needs that often accompany substance use concerns.
