What Is Telehealth Addiction Treatment?
Telehealth for addiction treatment delivers evidence-based therapy, group counseling, psychiatric evaluation, and medication management through secure video platforms without requiring in-person attendance. SAMHSA and NIDA both recognize telehealth as an effective delivery model. Research shows telehealth achieves comparable outcomes to in-person treatment for patients in IOP-level care, particularly for treatment engagement and retention.
Telehealth addiction treatment at Heartfelt Recovery Centers uses HIPAA-compliant video conferencing to deliver the same structured clinical programming available at our Hudson, NH facility. Sessions are conducted by the same licensed clinicians, using the same evidence-based therapeutic modalities, as our in-person programs.
The expansion of telehealth in behavioral health has been one of the most significant access improvements in addiction treatment in recent years. For patients in rural New Hampshire, those with work or childcare constraints, or those with transportation limitations, telehealth can be the difference between receiving treatment and going without.
How Telehealth Addiction Treatment Works at Heartfelt Recovery Centers
Heartfelt Recovery Centers’ telehealth addiction treatment connects patients to licensed clinicians through a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform. After intake, patients receive a structured weekly schedule of individual therapy, group therapy, and medication management sessions. No special equipment is required beyond a smartphone, tablet, or computer with a camera and a private location.
After intake, which can also be completed via telehealth, patients receive a treatment schedule specifying session days, times, and access links. A clinical care coordinator stays in contact throughout treatment to support engagement, troubleshoot technical issues, and adjust scheduling as needed.
Group therapy sessions via telehealth are conducted in small groups using the same evidence-based curriculum as in-person groups at our Hudson facility. Research consistently supports that group cohesion and therapeutic outcomes in virtual groups are comparable to in-person groups for most patients in stable outpatient settings.
Our Addiction Treatment Programs
Telehealth MAT Prescribing in New Hampshire
Heartfelt Recovery Centers can prescribe medication-assisted treatment medications, including Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone), via telehealth for eligible patients in New Hampshire. The DEA and SAMHSA have established prescribing pathways that allow buprenorphine to be initiated via telemedicine for patients with opioid use disorder, subject to applicable state and federal regulations.
Telehealth MAT prescribing requires a clinical evaluation conducted by our licensed prescriber and an assessment for medical appropriateness. Patients who begin MAT via telehealth are integrated into our structured IOP program to ensure the behavioral therapy component of treatment is in place alongside medication management.
What Services Are Available via Telehealth?
Telehealth services at Heartfelt Recovery Centers include individual therapy sessions, group therapy programming, psychiatric evaluation, medication management for MAT and mental health conditions, case management, and family therapy. These services are available to New Hampshire residents who meet clinical criteria for telehealth treatment.
Dual diagnosis treatment is fully available via telehealth for patients with co-occurring substance use and mental health conditions. Patients managing depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, or bipolar disorder alongside a substance use disorder can receive integrated treatment for both conditions through our virtual programs.

When In-Person Treatment is Recommended
Telehealth is highly effective for many patients, but in-person PHP treatment at our Hudson facility is recommended for people who need a higher level of clinical structure, who are in early acute phases of withdrawal or psychiatric instability, or who find virtual environments difficult to engage in. Our clinical team makes level of care recommendations based on a full intake assessment.
Many patients begin treatment in-person at our Hudson, NH outpatient program and transition to telehealth for step-down IOP programming as their stability increases. This hybrid approach maximizes both clinical support and flexibility throughout the recovery process.
