Outpatient Substance Use and Mental Health Care Under One Roof

Northshire UCS in Manchester Center provides outpatient services for substance use concerns, mental health needs, and co-occurring disorders in a single setting. Support includes individual counseling, group therapy, and options for couples and families, helping people work on recovery while staying connected to home, work, and school.

Structured Intensive Outpatient Support While You Live at Home

For clients who need more frequent care than weekly sessions, the intensive outpatient program (IOP) adds consistent structure across the week. IOP combines group and individual therapy with family involvement and case management, creating a steady rhythm of support while clients continue daily responsibilities.

Psychiatric Services and Medication Support When Needed

United Counseling Service’s psychiatric medical team provides diagnostic evaluation and medication management across programs, which can be especially helpful for people balancing recovery with mental health symptoms. Northshire UCS also offers medications for addiction treatment (MAT) and can coordinate with outside prescribers when medication is provided through a partner.

Community-Based Recovery Supports and Practical Access

Care here extends beyond scheduled sessions. Case management helps clients connect to community resources, and the program collaborates with local partners and self-help groups to strengthen support outside the clinic. Transportation assistance may help clients keep appointments, and language access includes Spanish, other languages, and sign language services for people who are deaf or hard of hearing. Smoking and vaping are not permitted.
