About Casco Bay Recovery
They strive to help every individual become the healthiest they can be. For clients who need to begin their treatment with detox, Casco Bay Recovery provides medication-assisted treatment (MAT). The programs at this facility include regular and intensive outpatient programs, the partial hospitalization program, and the aftercare program. I like that this facility has gender-specific care available as well.
One thing unique about this location is it offers a number of different types of therapies to help with treating addiction. Cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy are offered to help patients learn how to manage stress, regulate emotions, and develop coping mechanisms.
Holistic therapy is available to help clients heal their body, mind, and spirit to support their addiction recovery. Some of the treatments that are a part of holistic therapy are yoga and meditation. Additional therapeutic approaches available at First City Recovery Center are experiential therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and relapse prevention.
Each program will vary in the amount of time required for patients to be at the facility. The partial hospitalization program will require clients to receive treatment for a minimum of five hours a day and five days a week. The intensive outpatient program will have individuals receive treatment for a minimum of three hours a day and a few days a week. An additional helpful service Casco Bay Recovery offers is assistance with job hunting after the completion of the intensive outpatient program.

Accepted Insurance
Other Forms of Payment
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.
Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.
Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.
