Services are offered in all languages, including English, Spanish, and Portuguese.
Patients may also access other resources, such as housing or insurance support, when appropriate. Sometimes the most effective treatment for long-term health is a safer place to live, nutritious food, or reliable transportation. Through our integrated care model, we help patients to combat health crises of all kinds. Visit our Impact Page to learn more.

Why Are Primary and Preventative Care Important?
Early Detection of Health Issues
Primary care providers, such as family medicine and internal medicine professionals, are at the front lines of healthcare. They help in the early detection of health issues, which is crucial for effective treatment. Regular checkups allow your primary care doctor to closely monitor your health. This approach means potential problems can be spotted and addressed before they become serious.
Lower Overall Medical Costs
Investing in preventative care can lead to significant financial savings on medical care in the long run. By preventing diseases or diagnosing them early through regular visits to a primary care physician, you are less likely to need expensive medical treatment for advanced conditions. This approach saves money and reduces the time spent in hospitals and away from work or family.
Builds a Long-Term Health Care Partnership
Regular visits to the same primary healthcare provider build a strong, trusting relationship over time. Your physician becomes intimately familiar with the health history contained within your medical records. This continuity ensures personalized care to your specific needs, making it easier to manage and monitor chronic conditions, discuss concerns, and make informed decisions about your health.
Promotes Lifelong Health and Prevention
Primary care is more than treating illnesses—it's about maintaining wellness. Primary care providers are essential in guiding you toward a healthy lifestyle. They offer advice on nutrition, exercise, and stress management, which are vital components of preventative care. Consistent medical guidance makes it easier to adopt and maintain healthy choices that prevent diseases.
Supports the Wellness of Families
Healthy families often start with informed and proactive healthcare decisions. Primary care services are designed to cater to all family members, regardless of their ages. This family-centered approach helps cultivate a culture of health within the household, making regular medical checkups a family priority.
Mental Health Services
Harbor Care Mental Health Support Services
The very first program of Harbor Care—all the way back in 1982—was a home for people exiting New Hampshire’s mental health institutions. Since then, we have learned a lot about mental illness and behavioral health disorders. Our staff provides the supports which can bring clients out of unemployment or living on the streets to a steady job and a safe home. If you or a loved one could benefit from supports for mental illness, please contact us for a consultation.
NEW LGBTIA2S+ Therapy Group
This group aims to facilitate a supportive and welcoming environment to young adults (ages 18-34) struggling with mental health concerns and who also identify with marginalized gender and sexual identities. Join us virtually at 3 p.m. on Mondays. To request information or to register, call Harbor Care Health & Wellness Center at 603-821-7788. More details here.
Support Whenever, or Forever
Mental illness, as any illness, is unique to the person, and a good treatment plan is just as unique. Our range of services, from outpatient therapies to around-the-clock support, gives us the tools to help everybody—even those with severe symptoms. Through our healthcare arm, we are able to provide mental healthcare, including psychiatry, and through our Housing Services, we provide day-to-day home-based support for individuals with chronic mental illness.
Additional service include:
Permanent Supportive Housing for clients who live on their own
Functional Supportive Services for individuals with chronic mental illness
Through our programs, our clients regain their footing and thrive.
Chronic Mental Illness in Our Community
In New Hampshire, mental illness is common. Around 50,000 adults and 15,000 children live with serious mental illness. Examples of chronic mental illnesses include:
Bipolar disorder
Persistent depressive disorder
Generalized anxiety disorder
Obsessive-compulsive disorder
Post-Traumatic Stress
Schizophrenia
Many NH residents struggle to find proper health care for their mental illness. Others struggle to afford care, even when they have insurance. It is a sad fact that people who earn less money are less likely to get mental health care and more likely to go untreated. If symptoms progress, they may need to be hospitalized; sometimes they lose their jobs or homes.
Impact
Harbor Care works hard to make sure everybody who needs mental healthcare gets it. We help people get insurance and offer subsidies or free care whenever possible. At our Harbor Care Health and Wellness Center, mental and behavioral health care is the most frequently used service.
Our decades of dedication to this issue have had an impact. While mental illness is the most common cause of chronic homelessness, our programs and services have drastically cut the number of people who experience chronic homelessness in Greater Nashua. See our Impact page to learn more.

Substance Use Services
Harbor Care’s Treatment and Recovery Services
Addiction is not the end—it is the beginning of the recovery journey. Harbor Care helps hundreds of men, women, adolescents, and families enter the world of recovery every year. If you or a loved one is struggling with substance use, alcoholism, addiction, or co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders, we can help. Please contact us today for a confidential, over-the-phone assessment.
What Defines a Substance Use Problem?
Substance use involves the misuse of drugs, such as opioids and prescription drugs, and alcohol, too. Risk factors often include co-occurring mental health disorders or environmental pressures. Its destructive impact can be seen clearly in Nashua, where substance use treatment services are striving to contain its spread and consequences.
The Signs of Substance Use
Physical Changes. Unusual weight loss or gain, a noticeable decrease in personal grooming, bloodshot eyes, tremors, slurred speech, or unsteady walking. Changes in sleep patterns or appetite.
Behavioral Changes. Neglect of responsibilities at home, school, or work. Increased aggression or mood swings, secretive behavior, changes in friendships or places they hang out. Risky behavior, such as driving under the influence or using drugs in dangerous situations.
Psychological Changes. Appears fearful or paranoid for no reason. Lethargic or lack of motivation. Appears unusually energetic, manic, or giddy, without reason. Inability to focus or remember things.
Financial Problems. Sudden financial troubles can also be a warning sign, especially if the person begins borrowing money, selling possessions, or stealing.
Isolation and Loss of Interest. They start to isolate themselves from family or friends and lose interest in activities that they once found pleasurable.
Health Issues. They might develop new health issues or let old ones go untreated.
Neglecting Personal Obligations. They neglect family, school, or work responsibilities in favor of using their substance of choice.
Treating Everyone, Fully
Harbor Care is uniquely designed to support your recovery journey—with or without insurance. No one is turned away, regardless of ability to pay. A full range of quality residential and outpatient services are offered so that we can accompany clients on their journeys from the first time they consider treatment to long-term recovery.

All treatment and services are clinically appropriate, gender-specific, trauma-informed, and follow the latest evidence-based practices, using a Harm Reduction model of care. Co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders are treated together, as part of an integrated care approach that also includes physical and oral health, and social determinants of health, such as housing and employment.
Substance Use in Our Community
Since the opioid crisis, New Hampshire residents have struggled with drug use more than ever before. Parents, spouses, grandparents, children, cousins, friends—everybody knows somebody struggling with or in recovery from addiction. Not only is it common, addiction is:
Painful: Depression, anxiety, and trauma often lead to addiction.
Lonely: Substance misuse breaks family ties and often leads to homelessness.
Expensive: Alcohol and drug use costs the state economy $2 billion each year.
Deadly: Hundreds of Granite Staters lose their lives each year to drugs and alcohol.
Generational: Children of parents experiencing addiction are more likely to develop substance misuse.
But above all, addiction can be overcome. Harbor Care is helping New Hampshire gain access to lifesaving treatment, regardless of an individual’s ability to pay. We integrate our treatments with primary and behavioral care as well as social support that lead to employment, mended families, and a new life in recovery.
Impact
Each year we help hundreds of NH residents enter into recovery. You can read more on our impact page. Ultimately, clients are helped in profound ways that can be hard to measure. Individuals who choose to engage in our treatment and rehab programs start a path of recovery, empowerment, and self-sufficiency.

What Are the Benefits of Seeking a Substance Use Service?
Comprehensive and Individualized Care
One of the notable benefits of seeking substance use in Nashua services is the inclusive and customized treatment program. Depending on the severity and nature of your addiction, mental health conditions, and life situations, the service will design an approach that addresses your specific needs.
Care coordination by dedicated medical professionals coordinates the recovery process, often involving mental health services administration, individual therapy or family therapy, relapse prevention education, and behavioral therapies. This creates an environment for a therapeutic journey where the connection between the client and the care team is prioritized.
Treatment of Co-Occurring Disorders
Substance use often coexists with other mental health conditions. The advantage of seeking substance use treatment centers or drug rehab centers is that they offer treatment for co-occurring mental health issues. This dual diagnosis service is integral to treating both the addiction and the mental health condition simultaneously to enhance the chances for recovery success.
Support Through Life Transitions and Challenges
Substance Use Services offers more than just treatment. Recovery coaching, peer recovery coaching, and relapse prevention education are provided to help individuals through different life transitions and challenges. Substance use recovery includes dealing with stress, anger management, finding a job through vocational programs, and reintegrating into everyday life.
A Chance for Reintegration into the Community
Substance Use Services aim to reintegrate individuals into the community. Through different services, such as adult drug courts, day programs, or inpatient programs in small, gender-specific environments, these services offer the opportunity to acquire new skills, understand the personal belief that leads to addiction, and foster relationships that support recovery. Many others have built a recovery community that supports and learns from each other.

Introducing Our New High Intensity Outpatient Program.
Are you struggling with alcohol or substance use? We get it. And we’re here for you. Click here for the basic details or scroll down for the full details. For further information, do not hesitate to call 603-821-7788.
We’re Here to Help.
Are you or a loved one struggling with addiction? Do you want to break free from the chains of substance abuse and embark on the path to recovery? If so, outpatient rehab in Nashua may be the right option for you. At Harbor Care, we understand the challenges and complexities of addiction, and we are dedicated to providing you with the support and care you need to overcome it.
Outpatient rehab is a flexible and effective treatment option that allows individuals to receive comprehensive outpatient addiction treatment while still maintaining their daily responsibilities and routines.
Unlike inpatient rehabilitation, which requires individuals to reside at a treatment facility, outpatient rehab allows you to attend therapy sessions and receive support during scheduled appointments while living at home. This allows individuals to maintain their quality of life while seeking treatment.
Please contact us for a no-obligation, over-the-phone assessment to see which path to recovery is best for you or a loved one.
The Benefits of Outpatient Rehab
Flexibility and Maintaining Daily Responsibilities
One major advantage of outpatient rehab is its flexibility in scheduling. Unlike inpatient rehab programs, outpatient rehab allows individuals to attend therapy sessions and treatment appointments while fulfilling their daily responsibilities. This means individuals can continue to go to work, school, or take care of their families while receiving the necessary treatment.
Comprehensive Addiction Treatment
Outpatient rehab provides a comprehensive approach to addiction treatment. It encompasses a range of therapeutic services, including individual therapy, group therapy, family therapy, and behavioral therapies. These therapies address various aspects of addiction, including the underlying causes, triggers, and behaviors associated with substance use. Outpatient rehab aims to promote long-term recovery and prevent relapse.
Personalized and Individualized Care
Outpatient rehab programs offer personalized and individualized care plans to each individual's needs and circumstances. Treatment plans are designed to address the specific challenges and concerns of each person and ensure that their recovery journey is customized to their circumstances. Individual therapy sessions allow for one-on-one attention, enabling individuals to explore and address their struggles with addiction.
Affordable Care at Harbor Care
Compared to inpatient rehab, outpatient rehab programs tend to be more cost-effective. The expenses related to residential treatment facilities, accommodation, meals, and round-the-clock care are generally eliminated in outpatient rehab. This makes outpatient rehab a viable option for individuals who may not have the financial resources to commit to an inpatient program.
We offer a sliding-fee scale, based on the patient’s income. We also accept Medicaid, Medicare, and most private insurance. If you do not have insurance, our Insurance Navigators can help secure coverage for you.
Harbor Care High Intensity Outpatient Program (HIOP): A Bridge to Recovery
Intensive Outpatient Care for Substance Use Disorders
At Harbor Care, our High Intensity Outpatient Program (HIOP) offers a structured and supportive environment for individuals seeking recovery from substance use disorders. Our program provides a balanced approach to treatment, combining the intensity of inpatient care with the flexibility of outpatient services.
What Is a High Intensity Outpatient Program (HIOP)?
A High Intensity Outpatient Program, also known as day treatment, is an intensive form of outpatient rehab that allows you to live at home while receiving daily treatment. At Harbor Care, our High Intensity Outpatient Services typically involve treatment for 3 to 6 days per week in 3- to 6-hour time blocks, offering a level of care that is more intensive than traditional outpatient programs but less intensive than inpatient treatment.
Treatment Objectives and Services
Our High Intensity Outpatient program aims to achieve the following goals:
Foster abstinence from substance use.
Support behavior changes for a drug- and alcohol-free lifestyle.
Enhance coping and problem-solving skills.
Encourage participation in community-based support systems.
Address psychosocial issues, such as employment and housing.
Develop a positive social network.
How It Works
Outpatient Programs include licensed clinicians and addiction specialists delivering evidence-based, trauma-informed services that are gender-specific and customized to each client’s unique needs. In general, services help clients and patients address a wide range of topics, including relapse prevention and recovery, trauma issues, and sometimes anger management and driver intervention programs.
Specific services include:
One-on-one counseling and therapy.
Group Outpatient Program Counseling (OP).
Group Intensive Outpatient Counseling (IOP).
Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) for opioid and/or alcohol dependency and specialized groups.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
Substance Use Disorder/Dual Diagnosis Evaluations.
Licensed Drug and Alcohol Counselor (LADC) evaluations.
Specialized services for:
Pregnant and parenting women through the Cynthia Day Family Center.
Justice-involved individuals through the Rockingham County Drug Court Program.
Peer Recovery Support, Alumni Groups, and Aftercare. We facilitate more than 20 Community Recovery Centers throughout the state of NH.
Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) in Nashua
For individuals requiring a more intensive level of care, our intensive outpatient program (IOP) in Nashua offers a structured and supportive environment. The IOP allows individuals to attend therapy sessions and receive comprehensive addiction treatment while still living at home.
In our IOP, you can expect:
Robust Clinical Support. Individual therapy, group therapy, physical therapy, family support, and medication-assisted treatment, if necessary.
Holistic Approach. Our treatment addresses the physical, emotional, and social aspects of recovery.
Tools and Resources. We provide you with the necessary tools and resources to achieve long-lasting sobriety.
Multidisciplinary Care Team. Our team includes physical therapists who will collaborate with you to address physical limitations or challenges to improve your quality of life.
The Difference Between HIOP and IOP
While HIOP and IOP are both structured outpatient treatments, HIOP offers greater intensity, requiring more weekly programming hours and offering a broader range of therapies. It's ideal for those needing more support than IOP yet maintaining some independence. Outpatient Programs, staffed by licensed professionals, provide personalized, evidence-based care focusing on various issues like relapse prevention, trauma, and anger management.
Who Can Benefit from High Intensity Outpatient Services?
You have completed detox or do not require it.
Do not need 24-hour supervision but still require a structured treatment environment.
Have a supportive home environment.
Are able to commit to regular and intensive treatment sessions.

Tips for Good Oral Health
Brush your teeth twice daily and remember to floss the teeth every day. Regular flossing prevents cavities and gingivitis. Nutrition also plays a vital role in good oral health. Be mindful of when you eat. Frequent snacking throughout the day can result in acid attacks, leading to cavities and tooth decay. Consuming plenty of water is extremely important, as it neutralizes acids in the mouth. Choosing low sugar foods is also vital for oral health. Schedule an appointment with your dentist every six months for a checkup and thorough cleaning.
HIV/AIDS Services
Whole-Person Support
Our HIV/AIDS supports foster a feeling of safety and comfort—a welcoming environment that can be rare for people living with HIV/AIDS. All direct care services are offered in both English and Spanish (LanguageLine for other languages), and are free of charge to most New Hampshire community members who earn incomes at or below 500% of the Federal Poverty Level.
Our Services
Medical Case Management, Housing, & More: At the heart of our program, our experienced case managers link clients with healthcare, housing, all Harbor Care services, as well as transportation services and healthy food through our pantry. We may also extend emergency rent and utility payment assistance to those who qualify to prevent homelessness.
Peer Support Services: We host groups and provide one-on-one support for individuals living with HIV/ AIDS.
Prevention Services are provided for those newly diagnosed or at-risk, including partner testing, as well as PrEP and PEP medications.
Overcoming HIV/AIDS
New Hampshire is on a path to end the spread of HIV/AIDS. Treatment regimens can be difficult; however, when people with HIV are able to maintain their medication, the virus becomes undetectable in their blood, making it impossible to transmit through sexual contact.
This is why we need to make sure everybody with HIV has a home. If someone is homeless, maintaining treatment is extremely difficult…and if somebody is struggling to afford treatment, they may be at-risk of homelessness. Our HIV/AIDS pathway of services helps keep everyone in our community stable, safe, and healthy.
Impact
Harbor Care predates the HIV epidemic. The courage of our clients and the compassion of our community in the face of HIV/AIDS over the last several decades has been extraordinary. Today, we can house all individuals with HIV/AIDS in our community. Nearly all clients maintain viral suppression, which keeps themselves and the community safe. See our Impact page.
We look forward to guiding New Hampshire to the end of its HIV/AIDS epidemic.

As the only non-profit pharmacy in Nashua, we are able to serve our uninsured clients with substantially lower prices through a sliding-fee scale (right) based on a person or household’s income. We accept most insurance plans, including Medicare Part D.
Thank you for supporting your local non-profit pharmacy.
