NFA Canterbury - Inpatient Mental Health Treatment

"Best Facility hands down. I had an incredible experience. The staff is welcoming and knowledgeable from the counselors, to the therapist and case managers to the nurses and behavioral technicians. My stay was excellent and I can’t thank the NFA Team enough."

"Although the staff at this facility are considerably nicer than other treatment centers I have attended, and the food is quite good, those are about the only 2 selling points I can think of. Almost everything I was told on the phone before intake was a lie. This treatment facility is entirely understaffed and unprepared to deal with "severe mental illness". Most groups have the moral that you, as the person with the illness, are to be held entirely responsible for not only behavior but also thought patterns etc. The dorms are cramped and smell horrendous. Nurses in charge of prescriptions add new meds, take away existing ones and mess with dosages, all without actually consulting the patient. Staff (especially administration) does absolutely nothing to create a safe environment, often punishing the victim instead of even trying to find a solution. Rich, the manager of whatever he manages seems to use the job as a vent for pent up aggression and is on a power trip that would much better aid a max security prison's staff, along with playing favorites and threatening patients who point out anything wrong. The worst part is that any rss or nurse that tries to actually help has their hands tied. For the love of God run, you will not find any help here if you are at all symptomatic with anything. (Ps. This is not a functioning dual diagnosis facility. Bare minimum or less substance abuse treatment)"

"I went here in September 2020, and i got off to a rough start. But once i listened and actually took suggestion's, I really got the most I’ve ever got out of the 50+ times I’ve been to rehab/detox. A guy named Trevor worked there when I was there and he was someone I could really click with. Sit down with and talk about the hard things to speak about and to not feel any type of animosity was truly the begging to my recovery. To say I succeed that time would be a lie. But it would open my mind to actually trying. I’m coming up on 2 years clean now and I still wear my Granite state recovery tshirt all the time. I would strongly suggest this place to ANYONE. They really go above and beyond if you’re actually willing to turn your life around. And there mental health providers really know their stuff so listen to them. Even though we think we know better. 10 out of 10 for NFA"

"Best. Treatment. Facility. Around. I stayed at NFA Canterbury for 3 months and loved every single second. The staff here are beyond amazing. I was so engaged in all groups. My therapist and case manager were nothing short of incredible. NFA holds a very special place in my heart & will forever. I recommend it to absolutely anyone looking for substance use/mental health treatment."

"I attended NFA Salem and it was the greatest experience I have ever had. Here I found myself, which in turn gave me the ability to start a strong healthy plan of recovery. In the past I have been to many treatment facilities in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. At one point I was able to stay sober for 15months, but what I found here is a path of recovery. I feel like I have more recovery in the past 2 months that I have been at Granite than I had in the 15 months of sobriety. I strongly recommend NFA to anyone who is truly looking for a new life. The staff and clinicians do their jobs from their hearts, they truly care and it shows."
