Clinical

Kali Guilmet-Talbot, LCHMC, MS

Regional Clinical Director

I joined the clinical team in 2021. I work with clients living with substance use and mental health disorders, offering a trauma-informed model of care that incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, narrative therapy, and family therapy. In using an eclectic approach, my goal is to develop a collaborative treatment team, providing a supportive recovery environment for our participants.

I have 25+ years’ experience implementing clinical care and program management within behavioral health systems. My areas of expertise are substance use, persistent behavioral health needs, trauma, families, and the military community. I am passionate about recovery that is truly person-centered. I aim to develop programming that is collaborative and creative.
I love the work and continue to find myself excited about opportunities to grow and learn. I find it very important to work in a system that resonates with my core values, including person-centered care. When I speak with the leadership and staff at programming, I am excited to be with like-minded people. There is a passion for excellence, continued growth, and dignity in the recovery process that made me want to work here.

What drives your passion to work in this field?

I am passionate about working in this field due to my own experience seeing family members struggle with addiction. Being able to plant a seed for change and see people grow is such a rewarding experience. The change in clients I work with reminds me of why I chose this career path.

What makes TruHealing’s programs stand out?

Just the name itself implies growth and healing from what is otherwise a deadly disease. I enjoy working with others who are as vested in offering hope to the clientele we serve.

What is the most rewarding part of working at New Hampshire Detox?

The most rewarding part of working at NH Detox is when clients who have come through our doors in the past are able to see a familiar face that may put them more at ease.

Laura DeManche

Director of Operations

My job is to oversee the day-to-day operations of the facility. I make sure we are providing the best care we can to our clients. I assist in many ways to keep our staff and clients happy and safe.

My passion for working in recovery comes from wanting to help others find a new way to live. I am in recovery myself, and I know how important it is to connect with others who share the same experience.

My favorite part of my job is to provide that light in someone’s darkness. When I was at my lowest point in my own life, I didn’t believe I deserved more or that I was worth anything. If it wasn’t for someone else seeing something inside me that I was unable to see in myself, I would have struggled to keep pushing forward at times. I never could have imagined my life being where it is today. I am truly grateful for this company and all the support I have been given to help me succeed in my own life.

Laura DeManche is the Director of Operations at NH Detox in Bethlehem, NH. She was born in Massachusetts and grew up all over the state of Maine. DeManche moved to New Hamphire as an adult.

Clayton Lindberg

Behavioral Health Technician Manager

I was born in Nashua, New Hampshire, and shortly after that I was adopted and grew up in Epsom, New Hampshire with my family. Growing up, I loved playing in the woods and riding four-wheelers or snowmobiles.

I started working at TruHealing in September 2020 as a Behavioral Health Technician. This was my first experience in the field, but I had been through a long, hard road of addiction and recovery. My current sobriety date is September 7^th, 2018. I use my experience and pain to help others that are going through the same thing.

My goal coming into this company was to work my way to the clinical side and become a case manager. Very quickly into my career, I fell in love with the operations side. What I enjoy most is managing client care and ensuring we do absolutely everything we can to make everyone’s stay with us as comfortable as possible.

With the amount of pain and hardship I went through, I have a unique insight and can relate with almost every client that walks through our doors. If I can help even one person from going down the road I took, all the challenging work we do here is worth it. The most rewarding part of my job is being on the front lines with clients daily. In my opinion, operations are the heart of this company, and I enjoy working with our staff to make sure everything here is running smoothly. I know that this has turned into my lifelong career.
