- Intensive Outpatient (Level 2.1) — The most widely covered outpatient level; most plans approve 20–30 sessions with minimal prior authorization burden
- Dual Diagnosis Programs — Covered simultaneously under both mental health and SUD benefits; federal parity law prohibits applying more restrictive limits than for comparable medical or surgical benefits

Choosing the Right Recovery Environment in New Hampshire
- Local vs. Away Treatment — Local programs preserve employment and family connections; away programs remove exposure to triggers and negative peer networks — the right choice depends on your specific situation
- Verify BDAS Licensure — Regardless of location, marketing, or referral source, confirm active BDAS licensure at dhhs.nh.gov/dcbcs/bdas; this is the non-negotiable baseline for any New Hampshire facility
- Tour or Virtually Visit the Facility — Evaluate staff-to-patient ratios, individual session frequency, group therapy size, quiet space availability, and access to on-site psychiatric consultation
- Confirm ASAM-Based Placement — Not Marketing-Based — The appropriate level of care must be determined by formal ASAM assessment, not by whatever open beds a facility happens to be promoting
- Look for Peer Recovery Specialist Integration — Programs connecting patients with certified peer recovery specialists (CPRS) during and post-treatment demonstrate measurably better 12-month outcomes per SAMHSA research
