  • The addiction epidemic has swept the nation, and many people in Maine are struggling to get the help that they need to recover from substance use disorder. Shame, embarrassment, and not knowing where to turn can all play a role in making it harder than necessary to get help. 

    Luckily, the Windham area offers many substance abuse treatment options, including in Portland and bordering states like New Hampshire and Massachusetts. 

    Substance Abuse In Windham & Cumberland County, Maine

    While people throughout Maine struggle with alcohol or drug addiction, Cumberland County has been hit particularly hard: 

    • in Q3 of 2020, 198 Cumberland County residents were victims of suspected overdose
    • most of the people who seek treatment for suspected drug overdoses in Cumberland County are in the 20-34-year-old age group
    • in the past year, Cumberland County has had more suspected overdoses than any other county in Maine

    Seeking help at a drug or alcohol rehab program is a sign of strength, and can be the first step in getting your life back. 

    Alcohol & Drug Rehab Center Options Near Windham, Maine

    One of the key factors you’ll want to look for in a treatment facility is individualized programming. Recovery programs must fit your individual needs, and it’s important to find a rehab facility that will delve into the unique factors that have led you to addiction. 

    An intake specialist can help you decide which level of treatment makes the most sense for the start of your recovery journey. Many people who suffer from addiction start with medically assisted detox, followed by an inpatient or outpatient treatment program.

    Medical Drug & Alcohol Detox

    The idea of detoxification can be scary. Experiencing withdrawal symptoms at home can be unpleasant, uncomfortable, and dangerous. 

    When you choose a medical detox program, you’ll get a dedicated treatment team that can help you work through the withdrawal process as comfortably and safely as possible, providing a smooth start to substance abuse treatment.

    Inpatient Drug Rehab

    For many people who suffer from substance use disorder, inpatient treatment is a welcome respite from the pressures of day to day life. During inpatient or residential treatment, you’ll have 24-hour access to care, and you’ll get to try many different modalities of therapy.

    One treatment service you may receive is psychiatric care for co-occurring mental health disorders. Dual diagnosis allows for an integrated approach that treats both conditions.

    Outpatient Addiction Treatment

    If you’re unable to get away from the responsibilities of day-to-day life to attend inpatient treatment, outpatient treatment (also known as intensive outpatient or partial hospitalization programs) can be an effective alternative. 

    During outpatient treatment, you’ll travel to and from the drug treatment facility each day. 

    Opioid & Alcohol Treatment Programs

    Changes in the brain and body due to opioid and alcohol use can make recovery especially difficult. Your doctor and treatment team will talk with you about whether medications like methadone can be helpful in your path to sobriety. 

    Aftercare Services

    When you finish a recovery program, it’s vital to have support in place that will allow you to continue your sobriety. The stresses of daily life can hit hard after you leave treatment, and your aftercare plan will be there to provide support. 

    Your aftercare plan will be developed with your treatment team, and may involve behavioral therapy, 12-step meetings, stress management classes, and sober-living arrangements. 

    Health Insurance Coverage For Addiction Treatment

    Your treatment may be fully or partially covered by your health insurance plan, which may include Medicare or Medicaid plans. Calling the number on the back of your insurance card, or contacting a rehab center directly, can help you learn more about your coverage. 

    If you don’t have insurance, there are state-funded options in Maine that can give you the treatment you need, regardless of your insurance or financial situation.
