Accepted Insurance

Foundation House works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Intensive Outpatient

Intensive Outpatient programs are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs. The Intensive Outpatient Program gives patients the chance to participate in a structured treatment plan part-time while they transition back to home and work or other responsibilities.

12-Step

12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).

Clinical Services

Cognitive behavioral therapy in Maine is a form of talk therapy. It involves a limited number of sessions during which the therapist helps the client become aware of negative thinking and replace it with positive thought patterns. This in turn helps the individual respond to challenges in healthier ways.

Dialectical behavior therapy in Maine helps you challenge distorted thinking so you can develop better patterns of thoughts and behaviors. It incorporates many of the same methods as cognitive behavioral therapy, with an additional focus on intense emotions.

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.

The goal of motivational interviewing in Maine is twofold. First is to increase your motivation to change. Second is to help you make a commitment to change. The process involves allowing you to express your views and concerns out loud. The therapist will listen affirm and encourage you to make the changes you desire in your life.

The goal of trauma therapy is to help you process and heal from experiencing or witnessing traumatic events. Your therapist helps you to integrate the experience coherently and then explores the emotions and situations that trigger your responses. This helps you heal and reduces your symptoms.

Eye Movement Desensitization And Reprocessing

The therapist engaged in family therapy work with all family members to understand the impact addiction has had on the family unit and individual members. They help develop collective strategies for recovery and facilitate open discussions to help families build resilience and improve interactions. This helps to support their loved one's path to recovery.

Any therapy that invites clients into an experience rather than only talking about it is considered experiential therapy. These experiences allow clients to process emotions through the activity and identify things they need to work through, such as past anger or hurt.
