Serving Manchester from Londonderry
Outpatient Addiction Treatment for Manchester, NH
Clear Steps Recovery is not located inside the Queen City. We serve Manchester from our New Hampshire facility at 1 Commons Dr, Units 21 and 22, in Londonderry, just off I-93 Exit 4 at the Crossroads. From most of Manchester the drive is roughly 9 miles and about 15 minutes: from downtown and the Elm Street corridor you can pick up I-293 South, merge onto I-93 South, and reach our exit without a single turn through stop-and-go traffic. From the West Side neighborhoods (Rimmon Heights, Notre Dame, Granite Square) the Granite Street interchange (Exit 5) feeds you straight onto I-293 and down to 93. If you are coming from the South End or near Manchester-Boston Regional Airport, you are already on the south side of the city and even closer to us.
How outpatient care and detox coordination work
Here is the honest shape of what we do: it is all outpatient. We run Intensive Outpatient (IOP), Partial Hospitalization day treatment (PHP), standard Outpatient (OP), Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT), and a mental-health track, and that is the whole menu, because we keep no detox beds and no residential rooms. When someone has to withdraw safely first, we coordinate medical detox with trusted partner facilities, then step that person into our outpatient program once they are stable. For a Manchester resident, that means you complete the structured part of your day with us in Londonderry and still sleep in your own bed, keep a job in the Millyard, or stay close to family on the West Side. Our medical director, Dr. Richard Marasa, reviews this clinical content; he is board-certified in Addiction, Emergency, and Internal Medicine.
Hillsborough County carries the state's heaviest overdose burden
In 2024, Hillsborough County, which includes Manchester, had the highest drug-related fatality rate of any New Hampshire county at 25.8 deaths per 100,000 residents. Statewide deaths fell sharply that year, but Manchester still records the most suspected opioid overdoses of any city in the state, which is exactly why accessible local treatment matters here.

Local access
Getting to Treatment From Manchester Without a Car
Manchester is the only New Hampshire city with a full fixed-route bus system, the Manchester Transit Authority (MTA), which hubs downtown at Veterans Park and the Canal Street Transportation Center, with the free Green DASH circulator looping the Millyard and downtown. The MTA reaches the south side of the city and parts of Londonderry, so getting to the Crossroads area is realistic for some clients, though our Londonderry facility itself sits in a commercial park off I-93 that is built for cars. Because daily IOP and PHP attendance is the part of treatment people most often struggle to sustain, we talk through the commute honestly during intake. If transportation is a barrier, tell us early so we can help you plan a realistic schedule rather than one that quietly falls apart in week two.

FAQ
FAQ About Our Manchester, NH Addiction Treatment Center
Where is the nearest Clear Steps Recovery facility to Manchester, NH?
Our New Hampshire facility is at 1 Commons Dr, Units 21 and 22, Londonderry, NH 03053, just off I-93 Exit 4 at the Crossroads. From downtown Manchester it is about 9 miles and roughly 15 minutes via I-293 South to I-93 South. We do not operate a clinic inside Manchester itself; we serve Manchester residents from Londonderry.
Does Clear Steps Recovery offer medical detox in Manchester?
No. We are an outpatient program (IOP, PHP, OP, MAT, and a mental-health track) and we do not have detox or residential beds. If you need to withdraw safely first, we coordinate medical detox with trusted partner facilities, then step you into our outpatient program once you are medically stable. This is a real difference from listings that imply they offer every level of care on site.
What does the commute from Manchester to IOP or PHP actually look like?
IOP and PHP meet on a set schedule, so the commute matters. From most of Manchester it is a straight shot down I-293 to I-93 South to Exit 4, about 15 minutes outside of rush hour. West Side residents can use the Granite Street interchange (Exit 5) to reach 293 quickly. We schedule sessions to avoid the worst of the I-293 and I-93 commuter crunch where we can, and we discuss your specific route and transportation during intake.
How bad is the drug and overdose problem in Manchester and Hillsborough County?
It remains serious, even as the statewide trend improves. In 2024, Hillsborough County (which includes Manchester) had the highest drug-related fatality rate of any New Hampshire county at 25.8 deaths per 100,000 residents, according to a New Hampshire Fiscal Policy Institute analysis of NH DHHS data. Statewide deaths did fall sharply that year, but Manchester continues to record the most suspected opioid overdoses of any city in the state, which is why accessible local treatment matters.
