About Grace House For Women
You’ll find Grace House for Women in Portland, Maine. Established in 2010, this residential program provides a phased approach for women in early addiction recovery. You’ll benefit from a safe, supportive environment to get away from distractions and hone in on recovery.
Animal Therapy
What stands out most to me is that they offer animal therapy. Their therapeutic dogs named Finn and Mookie provide companionship while promoting compassion, responsibility, and empathy. They also have egg laying hens. You’ll benefit from connecting with animals which can aid in soothing stress, boosting mood, reducing anxiety, and more.
Gender Specific
Another great feature that caught my eye was their gender specific programming. You can access a safe space with tailored interventions for women. You’ll benefit from a welcoming environment to connect with others on similar paths. You can feel comfortable opening up and sharing your story while building a solid recovery network.
Trauma Informed Care
I also like that they provide trauma-informed care. They understand that past traumatic experiences can influence addiction as well as receptiveness to treatment.
Their staff is trained to create emotionally safe environments where you can process these experiences in a judgment free zone. They use this trauma informed framework in all program aspects including structuring services, building trust, and responding to behaviors.
Holistic Therapies
Their holistic therapies also stood out to me. They help you heal your mind, body, and soul with wholesome activities and practices. You’ll be surrounded by nature and enjoy its healing powers while working toward recovery. Meditation, outdoor activities, yoga, fitness, and art are available.

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.
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.
