You’ve done the hard part—you made it through detox. Now comes the part that actually determines whether sobriety sticks: building a life you don’t need to escape from.
At Hearthwell Recovery, we don’t believe in cookie-cutter treatment plans or revolving doors. We believe in connected care that adapts with you—because recovery isn’t linear, and your support system shouldn’t pretend it is.
For over 20 years, our founder Shawn Richardson has watched what happens when treatment and housing work in silos. It doesn’t work well. That’s why Hearthwell integrates PHP, IOP, peer support, case management, and optional sober living under one roof. One team. One connected path. No gaps.
Recovery doesn’t have a single starting line. Some people need daily structure and intensive support right after detox. Others are stable enough to balance treatment with work or family responsibilities.
That’s why we offer both:
PHP (Partial Hospitalization Program, ASAM Level 2.5)
20-25 hours per week | Monday-Friday, 9am-3pm
For adults who need more structure, accountability, and clinical hours to rebuild routine and stability.
IOP (Intensive Outpatient Program, ASAM Level 2.1)
9-12 hours per week | Evening or day options
For adults who are stable enough to work, attend school, or manage family responsibilities while receiving strong therapeutic support.
You start at the level that fits your needs right now—not where a program thinks you should be.
Here’s what most programs won’t tell you: recovery is not linear. You might need more support some weeks and less support others. Life throws curveballs—job loss, family crisis, health issues—and your treatment should be able to respond.
At Hearthwell, you can step up or step down between PHP and IOP without starting over. Same team. Same location. No discharge. No re-intake paperwork. No waiting lists.
Because healing doesn’t happen on a rigid timeline, and your care shouldn’t either.
You shouldn’t have to coordinate your entire recovery alone. We use warm handoffs between your clinical team, peer coaches, case managers, and housing support—so everyone is working together, not in separate silos.
And when you complete treatment? You’re not cut loose. You’re connected to a recovery community we’ve been building for 20 years on the Seacoast.
Group therapy using proven methods like CBT and DBT
Learn the skills that actually help you manage cravings, navigate triggers, and build healthy coping mechanisms—not just talk about your feelings in a circle.
Individual counseling
Weekly 50-minute sessions (PHP) or bi-weekly sessions (IOP) with a licensed clinician who knows your story and your goals.
Relapse prevention planning
Real strategies for real-life situations. What do you do when you run into an old using friend? When work stress peaks? When you’re lonely on a Saturday night?
Family involvement (optional)
Recovery affects everyone. Weekly family sessions help rebuild trust, set healthy boundaries, and teach communication tools that actually work.
We share your goals and next steps in plain language every week. No clinical jargon. No surprises. You always know where you stand and what you’re working toward.
This isn’t just good practice—it’s how we hold ourselves accountable to your outcomes, not just your attendance.
We believe in proven methods, not trendy gimmicks.
ASAM Criteria-Aligned
Our PHP (Level 2.5) and IOP (Level 2.1) meet national standards for outpatient addiction treatment. This matters for insurance coverage, clinical credibility, and your confidence that you’re getting real care.
Proven therapies
CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), Motivational Interviewing, and Relapse Prevention Planning—the methods that decades of research show actually work.
Trauma-informed care
We understand that past experiences shape present behaviors. Many people turn to substances to cope with trauma, and we address that—not just the substance use itself.
MAT coordination
We’re not a medication-assisted treatment (MAT) clinic, but we coordinate with prescribers who are. If you’re on Suboxone, methadone, or naltrexone, we work with your provider to support your full recovery plan.
Dual diagnosis support
Mental health and addiction aren’t separate problems—they’re intertwined. We treat both, together.
