About Grace Street Services (Portland Campus)
Grace Street Services is an addiction treatment facility in Portland, Maine. The facility offers outpatient and intensive outpatient addiction and mental health treatment for co-occurring disorders, as well as medication assisted detox. The facility accepts private health insurance plans as well as Medicare and Medicaid.
Flexible Addiction Treatment in Maine
The facility offers flexible outpatient treatment options with a regular outpatient and intensive outpatient program (IOP). The regular outpatient program is great for clients who need to work or attend school while receiving treatment.
The IOP is a higher level of care and provides a structured program. The nice thing about the IOP is the intense level of care you can receive without the commitment to a full inpatient program.
Clients in the program may also receive medication assisted treatment (MAT) with medications such as naltrexone and buprenorphine. These medications help clients stop taking opioids without cravings and other uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms.
Unique Recovery Amenities in Portland
The treatment facility is a half mile from Portland’s Arts District. The Arts District is in downtown and offers a vibrant hub for galleries, shops and theaters. This may be a great place for clients to unwind and relax between treatments.
The facility itself also offers some unique amenities. These include a woodshop and an art studio where clients can work on projects. They also have an indoor skatepark where clients can get some physical exercise to support the mental health work they’re doing.
Design-Thinking Model of Treatment
The clinicians use the design thinking model of care. This is a human centered approach to treatment that prioritizes the needs of the individual and his or her family. The approach emphasizes empathy in treatment and clearly defines the opportunities for clients within the treatment process.
The model leads to effective customized treatment plans and better outcomes. Individuals tend to be more engaged and own their recovery journey. Treatment also includes group and individual counseling as well as specialized therapies and aftercare support.

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.
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.
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.

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.
