They provide outpatient and telemedicine. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Exeter is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Portsmouth, 7.1 miles away.

They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Newmarket.

Newmarket has 4 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.

They treat adolescents. A program built for a 17 year old is not the same program as the adult one, so ask which of the two they offer in Newmarket.

Accreditation, staffing, medication policy and aftercare are the four that tell you most. What a program arranges for the weeks after discharge says more about it than anything in its own description. Ask for the daily schedule in writing rather than a description of it.

It ranges from nothing at all, in a state funded program, to figures that need a payment plan. Outpatient care costs a fraction of residential care, and for a lot of people it is the right level anyway. It is worth asking about a sliding scale even where nothing is advertised.
