Rather than quit cold turkey, which can be dangerous to your health, an alternative is to descale your dosing. This is where medication assisted treatment comes in. Your intake of meds like methadone and Suboxone can help with your withdrawal pains and cravings while making sure you slowly cut back. This way you can safely control your addictions. Their trained clinicians will guide you to prevent overdoses.
In addition to meds you’ll also get counseling so you can learn about your treatment. You’ll find better ways to cope with anger and stress, and you’ll have peers to support your progress. Medicare and Medicaid are accepted.
Our Methodology
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.
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.
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.
Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.
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.
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.
Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
Individual therapy offers personalized sessions for drug and alcohol addiction treatment to help uncover and address the root causes of addictive behavior. Your therapist will provide individualized, one on one support to help you build resilience and develop healthier habits with a focus on long term sobriety.

Trust me, methadone clinics are saving humans lives. They truly can help someone that is suffering both mentally and physically. I thank this treatment center because now I can see my family's faces each day and haven't lost the fight against substance abuse. They don't make ...
This was all wierd from the start! I have been stable on suboxone since Sept of 2021, I am currently a patient at anglez behavioral health where I have been since july 2025 and I previously came here in 2021 and the last year have been dropping my dose to come off of it, i am currently at 1/4 mg per day and will be off it by the ejd of the year 💪💪 Anglez cannot help me further with what I keed to continue being successful so I called the Augusta comprehensive and they do not do suboxone but said their wtaerville office did. So i called yetserday around 1, they told ke someone wud call me back in 5-10 mins, never did, I waited for an hour and called myself, apparently theyre only open from 530M to 10am so when i called I didnt even get someone from the center, I got some call center she said. They had none of my information I gave about having a current prescription and just needing to get it transferred. There was a line when I got there at 5:20 for my 5:30 am intake, yes 5:30am intake? Wait what? WEIRD! I first got siber in 2011 to 2018 wen I lost my soulmate and relapsed, I have been to countless trwatment places, never have I ever done an intake at 5:30an nor have I ever seen a line with what looked to be 100+ people when I got there, I didnt make it to the receptionist until 5:45 bc of the line of people waiting, was never told about this. Again so weird! Then they tell me i would have to come daily for dosing? What? Um i cannot do that, I live in Augusta and run my own businesses, I have been stable on subs for over 4 years now. The guy I talked to on the phone also asked if I needed mental health counseling along with the substance use counseling, i said yes. I get there, at 6:20 someone comes out and tells me theyre going to take me to a room to destroy my prescribed medication I have. Excuse me? No your not! I was told this was an intake apt, I am still, currently enrolled at anglez and this place cannot prescribe me ANY medication or make me a pateinet until anglez discharges me. An intake is usually between 2 to 4 hour process, from there if youre accepted most places you have to wait for the dr day which is once a week to get prescribed, I was not asking to be dosed as i already took my morning dose before going. Why would they destroy my only medication without me being a pateint or having a svript ready. They refused to do the intake unless I have them my meds to destroy at 630 in the morning. So if you do not accept me and do not give me minimum of weekly prescription I will not be coming here so why wud u destroy my meds before we got all of this settled? I never asked them to dose me in fact the guy i talked to on the phone said I wud not get a prescription today after intake, so why wud they destroy my medication? Again I am still enrolled so i cannot become a patient until I am discharged from my current program! You got to be crazy! They also told me they called 3 different times yesterday and texted me, I got nothing, so i went to my phone company and pulled my records for yesterday, sure enough not one call, not one text! I knew my phone wasnt messed up! So im off to Cornerstone! Had no clue this place was the methadone clinic! Now everything makes sense if u wajt methadone go ahead and go, however I am looking for TREATMENT, weekly substance use sessions, mental health eval and diagnosis along with DBT treatment. This place is weird man not recommended at all! Go to cornerstone
Hold on Central Maine cause Boston has come to town. Everyone is gonna get take-home. NO accountability. Even patients are not happy, but Acadia Healthcare is making big money!!!!
The staff members are very compassionate and truly care for those they service, including the dosing nurses. It truly helps a lot for one who is undergoing the battles of life and addictions. I am truly grateful for the personal relationships I have developed while going there. It makes your experience very pleasant and gives you hope for a life of fulfillment without substances.
Everyone that works here from the counselors to the nurses at the windows to the staff at the front desk is extremely kind and welcoming. I enjoy going in and interacting with the warm and friendly staff.
