Recovery Guide to Rehabs in Maine
Understanding Treatment Options and Starting Your Journey
If you or someone you love is seeking help for addiction in Maine, understanding your treatment options is the first step toward lasting recovery. This guide outlines the levels of care available throughout the state—including detox, inpatient rehab, outpatient care, and sober living—while highlighting the personalized services offered at Portland Treatment in Biddeford, Maine.
Portland Treatment: Personalized Rehab in Maine That Fits Into Your Life
Portland Treatment specializes in outpatient addiction treatment in Maine, providing a flexible, clinically intensive alternative to residential care. Our programs include:
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
Our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is ideal for individuals who need intensive treatment but prefer to live at home or in a sober living environment. PHP provides structured, full-day treatment that typically includes:
Individual counseling
Group therapy sessions
Family involvement and education
Skill-building workshops
Relapse prevention planning
PHP at Portland Treatment is designed to stabilize clients, build recovery skills, and provide ongoing clinical support without the need for overnight stays.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) offers a step-down level of care from PHP, featuring:
Flexible scheduling with daytime or evening sessions
Therapy three to five days per week
Continued focus on relapse prevention and mental health management
Support for balancing work, school, or family life
IOP at Portland Treatment helps clients transition from intensive treatment to independent living while maintaining clinical and peer support.
Evidence-Based Therapies and Dual Diagnosis Treatment
We offer evidence-based therapies such as:
Motivational Interviewing (MI)
Trauma-Informed Care
Our dual diagnosis treatment addresses both substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, or PTSD, providing truly comprehensive care.
Portland Treatment accepts most major insurance plans and offers free insurance verification to help you understand your coverage and costs before you begin care [1][2][3].
Medical Detox Services in Maine
Medical detox is the critical first step for individuals physically dependent on substances such as alcohol, opioids, or benzodiazepines. Detox safely manages withdrawal symptoms under medical supervision, reducing the risk of severe complications such as seizures or delirium tremens (DTs).
While Portland Treatment does not offer detox services onsite, we partner with trusted detox centers throughout Maine to ensure you receive safe, professional care before transitioning to PHP or IOP. Detox services typically include:
24/7 medical monitoring
Medication management for withdrawal symptoms
Emotional and psychological support
Preparation for ongoing addiction treatment [3]
Inpatient and Residential Rehab in Maine
Inpatient rehab—also known as residential treatment—provides 24-hour care in a supportive, structured environment. This level of care is ideal for individuals who:
Have a severe or long-term addiction
Require medical stabilization or detox
Need to temporarily leave their home environment to focus on recovery
Inpatient rehab typically includes:
Medical and psychiatric monitoring
Daily therapy sessions (individual and group)
Recreational and holistic therapies
Life skills training and relapse prevention planning
Many individuals transition from inpatient rehab to outpatient care at Portland Treatment, continuing their recovery journey in our PHP or IOP programs [3][5].
Sober Living Homes in Maine
Sober living homes provide a structured, substance-free living environment that supports long-term sobriety. Sober living is an excellent option for individuals who have completed inpatient or outpatient treatment but need additional support before fully transitioning back to independent living.
Sober living homes typically offer:
Peer accountability and support
Safe, drug-free housing
House meetings and community engagement
Opportunities to practice life skills while maintaining sobriety
Portland Treatment works with reputable sober living providers in Maine to ensure you have access to supportive housing that aligns with your recovery goals [3].
