Dual Diagnosis

Dual-diagnosis addiction treatment in Maine provides holistic care for individuals with co-occurring substance use disorders and mental health conditions. Both the outpatient and inpatient programs are staffed by addiction experts who use a combination of therapy, education, recovery groups, and 12-step programming to support your recovery process and your mental health. The benefits of dual-diagnosis treatment are improved mental health and well-being and the learned skills and coping strategies to sustain your recovery.

Mental Health

When treating drug and alcohol addiction, your mental health plays a pivotal role in the recovery process. You receive round-the-clock access to mental health counselors or therapists and medical staff. The therapies typically offered include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) which helps you identify and arrest harmful thought patterns and behaviors and motivational interviewing, which enforces your desire to bring about positive change.

Outpatient

Outpatient rehabs provide a wide range of programs, services, and treatment schedules to accommodate clients’ unique and evolving needs. Many outpatient treatment centers offer evening, night, and weekend services to accommodate clients’ work and home schedules. Clients in outpatient treatment typically engage in multiple counseling sessions weekly, including group and family therapy. Many facilities also prioritize recovery-focused life skills training to support clients’ sustained sobriety and successful community reintegration. Medication assisted treatment (MAT) is also prevalent in outpatient care.

Couples Therapy

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

Family Therapy

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Group Therapy

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

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.

Trauma Therapy

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.
