Outpatient Programs
The following programs operate all year long and provide evidence-based therapy using the American Society of Addiction Medicine as a best-practice guide. Mental health assessments and individual mental heath counseling are performed as needed by a licensed Mental Health Counselor. Referrals are made to a psychiatrist as needed. Programs are held on site at Keystone Hall, its affiliate agency, Harbor Homes, and in clients' homes. All groups are ongoing and run in increments throughout the year.
2-Session Evaluations:
As mandated by the court system, a substance abuse evaluation and psychosocial assessment is conducted to determine the level of care needed according to American Society of Addiction Medicine.
Individual One-on-One Sessions:
One-on-one counseling focuses on meeting the client's individual treatment needs, helping him or her to better understand the relationship with drugs or alcohol, while improving his or her quality of life.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP):
A structured program designed to serve those who are having serious problems in life due to drugs and alcohol. It offers gender-specific group counseling that addresses relapse prevention and recovery, trauma issues, and anger management.
Relapse Prevention Group:
This is a psycho educational group that focuses on educating clients about addiction and recovery. At the same time, clients attend Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous support groups (held on site), building a lasting network of supportive, sober friends, and improving their quality of life.
Intensive Outpatient After Care
Focuses on building and reinforcing the changes clients made while in the Intensive Outpatient Program. Former IOP clients may join the group at any time.
Project Recovering Lives:
This program has two components that work in conjunction with the Department of Corrections, the Department of Health and Human Services, and the Department of Youth, Children, and Families to provide intensive outpatient treatment and aftercare to:
1) individuals involved in the criminal justice system or
2) parents/guardians involved in child welfare cases
The program is designed specifically to meet the unique needs of those individuals, and reduce the rate of recidivism or increase the stability of families. Treatment lengths are the same as traditional IOF and Aftercare.

Youth Diversion Program is a multifaceted program designed to provide outpatient treatment and aftercare specifically for at-risk youth ages 12 through 18 identified as having substance abuse issues, as well as their families. Working closely with the court system, DCYF, the school system, mental health and primary care physicians, hospitals, parents and guardians, and other social service agencies, youth receive intense treatment based on their history with drugs or alcohol, followed by aftercare and family treatment. Treatment and evaluation is performed by licensed, masters-level alcohol and drug counselors and teachers normally engaged in this field.

TLC Client Testimonial 03/02/11
... When I first entered Keystone Hall, I was a beat up man from years of alcohol abuse, who had nothing but the clothes on my back and a five dollar bill to my name. I had lost EVERYTHING, including my home, car, job and the love and trust of my family and what few friends I had. Keystone was the light that I needed to fight this disease and showed me how to regain living a sober life that I had lost years ago. You showed me the path to a new freedom from alcohol that in my state when I had arrived did not think existed. I can now walk around with my head held high with a home to live in, a car to get me to meetings, a job, and most importantly, the love, trust and support from my family. I now use the tools that I was taught on a daily basis while staying here at keystone, continuing to live my life one day at a time...

Treatment will focus on the entire family, with the mother deciding which family members to include in treatment.. The children in custody of their mother will be provided with therapeutic interventions and supports, and have their own individual case plan as co-clients within the program. The program will accept NH residents from any part of the state, including those entering the program that are homeless, or coming from a correctional facility or other institutional setting.
There is no price that can be placed on the life of a child, parent, or friend. Keystone Hall, with the assistance of its community partners, hopes to do their part in remedying this tragedy through the creation of several new initiatives, the expansion of its current programs, and most importantly, the acquisition and rehabilitation of a larger, more suitable facility that will double the agency’s capacity to provide services.
