Psychosis care for Chester patients
We support Chester patients and families after a first episode, after a hospital stay, or when someone needs steady long-term outpatient care. Regular follow-ups, health monitoring and family involvement are a key part of staying well.
Living in Chester
Chester is a rural town of farms, orchards and wooded back roads between Derry and Raymond. High school students typically attend Pinkerton Academy in Derry, and many parents commute along Route 102 or I-93, so video follow-ups save a lot of driving.
Staying well
Taking medication consistently, protecting sleep and staying connected to school, work or community lower the chance of relapse. Long-acting injectable options can be discussed when appropriate.
Getting care from Chester
From Chester, our Salem office is about 25 minutes by car. Many Chester patients use secure video for follow-ups and come to Salem when an in-person visit adds something.
