Who oversees treatment
Under RSA 172, the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services establishes and coordinates the state's system of substance use disorder treatment services and sets rules on facility and counselor certification.
Overdose Good Samaritan law
RSA 318-B:28-b gives immunity from arrest, prosecution and conviction for drug possession to a person who in good faith seeks medical help for an overdose, and to the person overdosing, when the evidence came from that request.
Court-ordered treatment
New Hampshire has no civil commitment law specific to substance use found in RSA 172 or 172-B, but under RSA 172:13 a court can order treatment at a certified facility for a dependent person in a criminal case, and officers may take intoxicated people into protective custody.

LGBTQ program (SAMHSA)Alcohol treatmentTrauma-informedCare that includes transgender and nonbinary people
Transgender and nonbinary people often report being misgendered or treated poorly in health care settings, which can make treatment feel unsafe. Before you enroll, ask how the program handles names and pronouns, room assignments, bathrooms and continuing gender-affirming hormones.

How alcohol rehab works
Never stop heavy daily drinking suddenly without medical advice; withdrawal can cause seizures. Programs near New Hampshire with medical detox can manage it safely, then move you into therapy.
