About Community Concepts Inc
Let’s take a quick look at Community Concepts, Inc. They’re a non-profit organization located in Lewiston, Maine. I like the look of this clinic because they seem to really focus on supporting individuals and families together, helping them foster community development. They offer substance abuse treatment and mental health treatment as well, so dive into that further.
First, they have Community Concepts Alcohol and Drug Treatment Services. This service can help pregnant or postpartum women, as well as DUI offenders and criminal justice clients. They even have school-based services that offer outpatient substance abuse treatment focusing on adolescents and individuals with co-occurring conditions instead of just adults.
Serving Not Only People with Addiction but the Whole Family
I liked the concept of their Nurturing Program for Families in Substance Abuse Treatment and Recovery. This is a 17-week program that addresses the effects substance abuse might have on families and those parenting.
What’s really unique about this location is that they provide full-day child care for children ages 6 weeks to 5 years old. They also have a Head Start program, which is directed at early childhood education, health, nutrition and parent involvement. This program is for low-income children and families.
Their Maine Families Home Visiting Program offers support and education to new parents through home visits. They have some more unique offerings that I honestly have never seen at another clinic, such as energy assistance programs that help with heating costs, weatherization services to improve home energy efficiency, and emergency rental assistance.
Of course, they still offer mental health services such as crisis response, residential care, and counseling and therapy for individuals and families.

Other Forms of Payment
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.
Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.
Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.
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.

Levels of Care
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
Clients entering inpatient rehab can expect to engage in intensive daily treatment, focusing principally on addiction counseling. Inpatient programs generally offer a range of psychotherapeutic options, including CBT, DBT, RBT, and motivational interviewing. Many also prioritize group and family counseling as well as one-on-one therapy. Many inpatient programs also include extensive addiction education and evidence-based holistic therapies, such as meditation and creative arts therapy.
Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) enable clients to remain in or return to their community while receiving high-level treatment. Most rehabs offering intensive outpatient treatment require clients to commit to a minimum of nine therapeutic hours per week, though clients who need more robust care often receive up to 20 hours of service weekly. Treatment modalities vary, but generally include psychotherapy, recovery education, evidence-based holistic therapies, and medication assisted treatment (MAT) for alcohol and/or opioid addiction.
Treatments
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
Drug rehab in Maine is the process of helping someone learn how to live without the use of substances. Professional staff provide treatment to address the various issues of addiction. Methods often involve medication, counseling, and evidence-based therapies.
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.
Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.
Programs
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
Clinical Services
Men and women in Maine who participate in group therapy sessions find it builds a sense of community among the participants. Group therapy is usually facilitated by trained therapists who incorporate evidence based techniques that promote recovery and lasting change.
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.
