WestBridge Community Services is a residential treatment center and service for individuals 18 years and older who suffer from mental illness such as thought, mood, anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorders co-occurring with substance abuse issues. The average length of stay for patients is one to six months, but varies by individual needs. The program operates two campuses.

Director of Residential Services, Eileen Fiori, LICSW, LADC, received her Master's degree in Social Work from Boston College and is licensed by the state of New Hampshire as an independent clinician. She has been working in the addictions field since 1986 and has worked in residential treatment programs as well as in independent practice. Mark Green, M.D. is the Medical Director for WestBridge. He received his degree from the University of London and completed his residency and fellowship at New York Presbyterian Hospital, Cornell Medical Center. He also teaches at Harvard Medical School and lectures on dual-diagnosis. WestBridge is accredited by CARF.

The facility provides treatment through Integrated Dual Diagnosis Treatment. Upon admission, a treatment team formulates a personalized Achievement Agenda to address both mental health and substance recovery goals. WestBridge provides education management services, money management, daily living task assistance, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, substance abuse counseling, and Family Education and Support. After completing a stay at WestBridge, each individual works with their treatment team to formulate a Transition Plan to follow up treatment.

The program also provides Care Management Services on an outpatient basis to assist individuals with mental health and substance abuse issues to succeed while living in and contributing to their community. WestBridge utilizes the help of the patient's families to assist in the recovery process as well as educate the family members on what they can do to help in recovery and the future success.
