Healing Starts Here—In the County You Call Home

Hillsborough County is the beating heart of New Hampshire—and if you live here, you already know it. From downtown Manchester to the back roads of Francestown, this county holds grit, pride, and people who show up for each other.

What We Offer in Hillsborough County

Medical Detox

For many, recovery starts here. Our medical detox placement provides a safe, clinically supervised environment to manage withdrawal—whether from alcohol, opioids, or other substances. We offer compassionate care, close monitoring, and the emotional support needed to make this first step doable.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

More intensive than IOP, our PHP meets several hours per day to help clients gain footing after a crisis or inpatient stay.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

Flexible, structured care for those ready to stabilize and move forward—without needing full-time residential support. Evening and daytime groups available.

Outpatient Therapy

One-on-one sessions with licensed clinicians who listen deeply, speak plainly, and help you build real tools for change.

Virtual Treatment

Living in Antrim? Commuting from Hudson? You can join us from anywhere in Hillsborough via secure telehealth.

Live in Milford, Hudson, or Litchfield?

We also support dual diagnosis clients—those facing both substance use and mental health challenges.

⬥ Mental Health Care

If you’re looking for mental health treatment in Hillsborough County that respects your pace and your story, Bold Steps is here. We treat a wide range of conditions, including:

How We Treat

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Helps you notice and shift harmful thought patterns—so you can respond instead of react.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Especially helpful for emotion regulation, self-harm, and relationship strain.

EMDR

A specialized therapy for trauma, PTSD, and deeply rooted pain.

12-Step Facilitation

We support clients who connect with the 12-step model—and we make space for other recovery identities too.

Wondering if CBT or DBT would help with what you’re feeling?

Let’s talk through it together—no pressure, no cost.

From the trails of Mine Falls to the mills of Nashua, this place holds more than just history—it holds possibility.

Real People. Real Support. Right Here in Hillsborough.

You shouldn’t have to drive across the state to feel understood.

We know this county. We know its people.
We’ve helped teachers from Nashua, mechanics from Goffstown, moms from Bedford, and college students from Manchester. Everyone’s story is different—but they all started with a conversation.

“I called Bold Steps thinking they’d tell me I needed to wait a month. Instead, they listened. And I started that same week. They changed everything.”
