New Freedom Academy

New Freedom Academy Canterbury New Hampshire

Located on 17 acres in the tranquil surroundings of New Hampshire, New Freedom Academy is committed to providing high-quality treatment for adult men and women. Our mission is to guide clients through the initial stages of recovery by helping them overcome barriers of fear, anxiety, and apathy. We believe that embracing the events of life, rather than avoiding them, is essential for success, joy, and freedom.

Our team of co-occurring disorders treatment professionals is led by a psychiatrist, and direct care is overseen by a psychiatric nurse practitioner. Our team also includes master’s-level therapists who are well-versed in addiction treatment. This comprehensive approach allows us to accurately diagnose our clients’ needs and provide a combination of therapy, non-addictive medications, holistic treatments, and practical applications to promote stability and internalize the recovery process.

As an abstinence-based treatment center, we take a thoughtful and practical approach to co-occurring disorders. While medications may be beneficial for stabilizing clients with acute diagnoses or long-term needs, our focus is on promoting improvement through positive lifestyle changes. We have found that this approach often reduces disorders with environmental origins. We understand that making a complete lifestyle change can be challenging, and our team supports and monitors our clients through evidence-based practices such as meditation, grounding exercises, experiential therapy, sleep studies, health plans, nutrition balance, physical exercise, and more.

  • The team loved me until I could love myself. They blocked me from leaving at a time where walking off property seemed like a great idea in the middle of a snow storm. They worked with me and encouraged me when all I wanted to do was give up after coming in from a humiliating relapse

  • New Freedom Academy saved not only saved one but two of my family members lives. With the dedicated and compassionate staff at New Freedom Academy my loved ones not only received treatment for their disease but they got a second chance at life. The staff was so great keeping me in the loop every step of the way and included me in my loved ones recovery. It was an amazing experience to see the culture that is created at New Freedom Academy, it has a personal feel with an emphasis on compassion. No two people are the same and the staff at New Freedom Academy recognize this which helped personalize the care my loved one received. New Freedom Academy is far more then a recovery center, they�re a family creating positive change for so many people.
