Environment & Accommodations
The Granite House is located in a charming suburban area of Derry, NH, offering a comfortable, home-like atmosphere for recovery. Instead of a clinical facility, treatment and housing are provided in gender-specific houses, fostering a strong sense of community and peer support. Accommodations consist of shared rooms, which encourages accountability and helps prevent isolation.
