At Paugus Bay Behavioral Health our foundation is built on a culture of deep empathy, unwavering support, and dedicated service. We are a patient-first, accredited treatment center.  We partner with you or your loved one to help you achieve a successful recovery from mental health or addiction.

Our environment fosters mutual respect, open communication, and a shared commitment to growth and healing. We realize that everyone’s journey is different.  Our treatment paths are truly flexible, tailored to the numerous emotional and physical facets of recovery. Whether you are seeking mental health support, total sobriety, medications used for the treatment of opioid disorders [MOUD or MAT], or a harm reduction philosophy our team of licensed professionals, mental health clinicians, and psychiatrists will tailor your treatment program to your unique needs.

Nestled in the Lakes

You’ll find us in the scenic Lakes Region of New Hampshire, a short 1 hour drive North of Boston.  Our facilities include a state of the art outpatient counseling center, and beautiful sober living homes.  

Our calm, healing environment supports your safety and well-being.   We believe every person deserves dignity, compassion and respect during their treatment experience.  Our peaceful enclave in Laconia, New Hampshire supports the healing journey.

Programs

We offer a partial hospitalization program (PHP/HIOP), intensive outpatient (IOP), and outpatient program.  These programs offer flexibility and varied restriction levels to meet you where you are in your recovery.  All of these programs offer invaluable medical and psychiatric support combined with the ability to stay at your current place of residence, in most cases the ability to continue to go to work, and otherwise maintain your life schedule.  We believe in meeting you where you are, and that there is no one size fits all approach to recovery.  Customized recovery is successful recovery.   We encourage you to speak to one of our admissions counselors to choose a participation plan that works for you.

We are in network with most insurance companies. Medicaid welcome!
