Addiction Treatment Programs

Dual Diagnosis
People with a dual diagnosis may be using substances to self-medicate. A high-quality rehab in Maine can address both issues and help you reach recovery. A successful recovery may require counseling, peer support, and even mental health medication to help you manage your mental health symptoms and find better coping strategies.
Young Adult Rehab
When people join a young adult rehab in Maine, they learn key life skills while receiving treatment. Young adult programs may include detox, inpatient treatment, outpatient care, aftercare services, and more.

Insurance Coverage

Medicaid
If you’re looking for ways to pay for rehab in Maine, consider using Medicaid if you qualify. Medicaid pays for most or all of the costs of rehab, making treatment much more accessible.
Private insurance
For those with private insurance, using your coverage to pay for rehab in Maine can make treatment much more accessible. Keep in mind that you’ll save the most using a center that’s in-network with your plan, and you might have out-of-pocket costs such as a deductible or copayment. Contact the insurer for more details.
Self-pay options
Self-pay in Maine allows you to pay for rehab yourself, using a check, electronic transfer, or medical loan. This gives you maximum freedom to choose whichever center you prefer.
Financial aid
There are many ways to pay for rehab in Maine. One option is to look into financial aid programs. Paying for detox, inpatient rehab, or outpatient care is much easier if you get a grant or scholarship from the center or a local non-profit or community organization.
Medicare
Paying for rehab in Maine can be done in multiple ways, including using Medicare. Plans vary, so be sure to get all the details before you start treatment. You may have out-of-pocket costs such as deductibles and copays.

Levels of Care

Therapies

Cognitive Behavior Therapy
Cognitive behavioral therapy in Maine involves being aware of how your thoughts are connected to your feelings and behavior. CBT may include role-playing to help you imagine specific situations that might trigger a negative reaction so you can practice challenging automatic thoughts and choosing a more positive response.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy
Dialectical behavioral therapy in Maine involves embracing your strengths and building confidence in your ability to make positive changes. DBT may include role-playing to help you imagine specific situations that might trigger a negative reaction so you can practice healthy coping mechanisms and choose a more positive response.
Family Therapy
Many people have challenging family backgrounds, and addiction can create unhealthy dynamics as well. Family therapy in Maine allows you to address these concerns. During family therapy, you may talk about acceptance issues, past trauma, communication problems, and more. These discussions are facilitated by a professional who brings an unbiased perspective and can promote healthy communication.
Group Therapy
It’s easy to feel isolated when you battle addiction, but group therapy in Maine can show you you’re not alone. There are several goals in group therapy. Some sessions may be focused on education about a certain topic, while others allow clients to discuss a specific issue they face. Overall, the group members hold each other accountable and provide encouragement.
Individual Therapy
Individual therapy in Maine can provide professional support and accountability as you work through substance use treatment. Individual therapy is only one element of rehab treatment, along with activities, peer support, group counseling, relapse prevention, and more. Together, all these methods support you in establishing long-term recovery.
Trauma Therapy
Trauma is an emotional response to a terrible event, and some people use substances to numb those emotions. Trauma-informed therapy in Maine can help you address what happened and consciously create a healthier response. Substance use treatment includes detox, inpatient treatment, and outpatient care, and trauma-informed therapy may be a part of each of these stages. The goal is to help clients acknowledge past experiences, address their feelings, and develop healthy coping mechanisms.
