Last week, we cut the ribbon at our new Claremont Addiction Treatment Program (ATP). Part of Valley Regional Hospital. The opening of this facility marks an important step in our mission to improve community health through accessible services and treatment for substance use disorder (SUD).

“Many people living with addiction recover when they have timely access to science-supported care,” said William Torrey, MD, chair of psychiatry at Dartmouth Health. “Recovery from SUD takes human connection and the support of community. That is why I am so excited today to be with the community that has gathered to celebrate the opening of the Claremont ATP.”

Our addiction services department launched in 2006, in the early days of the use of the medication buprenorphine to treat opioid misuse. Expansion of this program into the Claremont area allows improved access to area residents receiving treatment for SUD, who often have limited means of transportation.
