Substances and psychosis
Cannabis, stimulants and other drugs can trigger or worsen psychosis. We screen for substance use and help patients reduce risks.

Psychosis care for Peterborough patients
We support Peterborough 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 Peterborough
Peterborough is a Monadnock Region town with a lively downtown along the Contoocook River. Because the drive to Salem is over an hour, Peterborough patients usually see us by video, with in-person visits arranged when needed.
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 Peterborough
Our office is in Salem, about an hour and 15 minutes from Peterborough, so most Peterborough patients see us by secure video from home. When an in-person visit is needed, we plan it so the trip is worthwhile.
