New Season - Concord Metro Treatment Center

New Season -- Concord Metro Treatment Center is an opioid treatment facility in Concord, New Hampshire. As part of the medication assisted treatment (MAT) and therapy programs, New Season also strives to educate adult clients on the nature of opioid addiction as a disease. They are a private facility with clinical amenities. Clients receiving MAT through New Season also participate in outpatient therapy. New Season uses methadone, Suboxone, and buprenorphine format.

Outpatient treatment is a day program where clients visit the facility on a set schedule to participate in their treatment plan. It’s considered a lower level of care because clients do not reside at the facility and are not under constant supervision. It is a less restrictive environment ideal for those who have previously completed a higher level of care, such as an inpatient residential program, or who have mild symptoms.

During an outpatient program, clients receive therapy from a professional counselor. Therapy helps clients to express themselves and explore the nature of their addiction while analyzing their thoughts and behaviors. Therapy will ultimately show clients how these things are linked together and teach them healthy and supportive coping skills they can rely on to sustain recovery during and after treatment.

Therapy can occur individually, in groups, or a family setting. Group therapy creates an environment where clients can engage in peer support and share their experiences. Family counseling supports a client’s loved ones, helps them heal from the effects of addiction, and shows them how to effectively keep a client in recovery.

New Season combines MAT with therapy for a comprehensive opioid recovery treatment plan. MAT lowers the barrier many face in treatment by using FDA approved medications to eliminate or reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms. These symptoms can be so intense that clients are unable or unwilling to participate in recovery, increasing the risk of relapse.

MAT is handled by a professional medical team who will perform assessments to determine a client’s needs and eligibility. They also perform ongoing assessments while a client receives MAT to observe any changes and alter treatment as needed.
