About The Opportunity Alliance

Formerly called Youth Alternatives, The Opportunity Alliance of South Portland, Maine is an organization that exists to help you through mental health and substance use challenges. You will have access to counseling, medication management, case management, advocacy, residential treatment and family education. What we value most about them is their 24 hour crisis phone line that offers help whenever you need it and their care for all ages, from children to seniors.

Residential Treatment and Group Homes

You can find residential programs and group homes designed to support you if you experience serious mental illness. If you have a child who is facing family issues or legal issues, they can support them as well. Services include support for those with mental health and substance use disorders. Insurance is accepted, making it easier for you to receive comprehensive care.

Crisis Prevention and Intervention

The Opportunity Alliance provides a 24 hour mental health crisis system with phone and mobile support. Their Broadway Crossings facility offers a short term residential option as an alternative to hospitalization. This quick support is a compassionate service that helps you stay safe and stable during urgent times.

Enjoying Portland After Appointments

After your visits, you can take a walk along the Eastern Promenade or relax at a local café downtown. These small breaks can brighten your day and connect you to the community. We like that The Opportunity Alliance encourages you to balance care with moments of joy outside appointments.

Support for Youth in Custody

Therapeutic foster care is available for youth in state custody or involved in the juvenile justice system. Their multidimensional treatment foster care program is excellent because it helps young people find hope and direction. You’ll find intuitive care that supports you through many challenges.

Addiction Treatments

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.

Programs

Adult Program

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 Adult Program

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.

Clinical Services

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.
