Southern Maine Recovery

Who is this facility a good fit for?

• Best fit if: Adults who have completed withdrawal management (detox) or higher-acuity residential treatment and still want structured support before living independently; want to engage in real-world settings while continuing to receive clinical oversight; are interested in a longer stay focused on building life skills and reintegrating into the community; and value family involvement in recovery.
• Not a fit if: Adults seeking detox services; those needing hospital-level medical or psychiatric care; those who prefer a luxury experience; those who want a short-term stabilization program; or those seeking traditional inpatient rehab.

What to expect

Developing your care plan

• Initial screening and assessment: Planning begins with a brief pre-admissions assessment. After clients arrive, they receive a comprehensive medical evaluation, physical examination, medical history review, and a mental and physical health assessment that help to guide treatment.
• Balancing autonomy and support: Care plans are tailored to meet clients’ needs as they gain more confidence over time. The facility intentionally increases autonomy during client stays to encourage independence while continuing to provide appropriate support.
• Measuring progress: Client progress is measured in several ways, including regular reassessments and evaluations of increasing independence. Staff also assess whether clients can manage daily responsibilities, participate in community activities, develop relapse prevention skills, and are ready for independent living.

Who you will meet with

• Primary therapist: Typically the main point of contact during treatment, the primary therapist builds and updates care plans and meets with clients for individual cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), or trauma-informed therapy.
• Licensed medical team: The medical team helps ensure clients' health and safety during their stay.
• Family therapists: These clinicians work with clients and their loved ones to help address communication challenges, boundaries, and the impact addiction has had on the family.
• Group therapists: Licensed counselors facilitate group sessions where clients share their experiences with their peers, leading discussions about recovery, coping skills, and relationships.
• Recovery staff: Staff are available 24/7 to provide support when needed.
