I have been working with a case manager at common ties for over 7 months. I have been denied decency. Have not been given the resources that should be applicable to myself and children. No opportunity has risen. Denied to be treated like a human. Restricted the benefits I needed to survive. Very invasive, inhumane treatment from the development of the community members. Not supportive. No compassion. With all the respect you have for your self... Do your self a favor and choose a different program.

Everything I needed I had to do for myself from a physical rehab facility. While I was being mistreated by a nursing home they did nothing but complain about missed appointments which were phone calls and I was not able to have my phone on me 24/7 and a stroke but no help from them. Just dropped off my case because I don't have a drug addiction. Seems like not a fit for anyone trying to get their life together and needing real help

STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!!!A place that bullies & scares those who go to them for help and Trust. Don't ever tell them anything because they use it against you. I thought you were supposed to bring people up NOT down. I recommend dumping some of these caseworkers because they're not helping you, they hinder you.Sky is her name

Other Forms of Payment

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
inpatient iconInpatient
Clients entering inpatient rehab can expect to engage in intensive daily treatment, focusing principally on addiction counseling. Inpatient programs generally offer a range of psychotherapeutic options, including CBT, DBT, RBT, and motivational interviewing. Many also prioritize group and family counseling as well as one-on-one therapy. Many inpatient programs also include extensive addiction education and evidence-based holistic therapies, such as meditation and creative arts therapy.
12-step icon12-Step
Participants in 12 step programs receive ongoing peer coaching and support as they cultivate understanding, accountability, and acceptance as a condition of their recovery journey. Though 12 step recovery is rooted in the belief in a higher power as a cornerstone of sustained sobriety, religious affiliation is not required. Regular attendance at 12 step meetings is expected. These meetings are free, peer-led, and available multiple times per day, 365 days per year, in most communities.
sober-living iconSober Living Homes
A sober living home in Maine is typically located in a quiet neighborhood, where residents can focus on their recovery journey and personal growth. These halfway houses are typically privately owned and maintain strict rules for residents. These standards include abstinence from drug and alcohol use, participation in support group meetings and household chores, contribution to expenses such as rent, and adherence to a set curfew.
heart-hands iconIntervention Services
The best time for a drug intervention in Maine is when you think a loved one needs help with substance use and they are not seeking it. A drug intervention is an organized effort to confront them and share how their behavior has affected those around them. Intervention services can provide an intervention specialist to walk you through this process.

Treatments

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Programs

teen-program thumbnail image
Teen Program
Teen programs are designed to address the unique pressures teens face, pressures that can drive them to experiment with dangerous, addictive substances. They need programs that meet them exactly where they are and give them tools for long-term recovery. Therapy can help teenagers understand and work through underlying issues so they can reclaim the life ahead of them.
adult-program thumbnail image
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.
program-for-men thumbnail image
Program For Men
Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.
program-for-women thumbnail image
Program For Women
Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
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.
seniors-program thumbnail image
Seniors Program
Nearly one million adults age 65 and older live with a substance use disorder. Treatment providers who specialize in senior care understand the social, psychological, and physical effects of aging and how they relate to recovery. They can help clients address particular challenges and risks they may face as they get older such as overdosing and medication interactions and dependencies.
hearing-impaired-program thumbnail image
Hearing Impaired Program
A sensory disability, such as hearing impairment, can compound the challenges of addiction recovery. Drug rehabs that are specially designed to accommodate the needs of persons with hearing impairments will include special accessibility features and accommodations to make treatment as comfortable and effective as possible. This may include access to American Sign Language interpreters.
lgbtq-program thumbnail image
LGBTQ Program
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Dialectical behavior therapy in Maine helps you challenge distorted thinking so you can develop better patterns of thoughts and behaviors. It incorporates many of the same methods as cognitive behavioral therapy, with an additional focus on intense emotions.

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.

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 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.

To maintain long term recovery, you need to adopt a new way of life that encourages sobriety. To do this, you'll need certain life skills. That's why addiction rehab in Maine incorporates life skills training. This will equip you with the tools you need to successfully manage daily life in recovery.

The place is very ugly, you do not feel like you were going to help drugs, on the contrary, they would help you buy them.

Place lacks employees with the can do mental capacity. A bunch of eores work here. They lack resources and funding to help those who are homeless and substance abuse. It's a shame they help single moms before single homeless dads with kids. Double standard.There smoke and mirriors.All talk no action. If I could give them a 0 I would stay clear from here unless u have to use them as a last resort

Still no public or courteous paid staff to answer the phone or call back in a timely matter and here it is May 2022. The front desk is to help direct or answer basic questions for those in need or point in right direction. Cannot use covid as a excuse forever as things are back to normal as they will get. Please Fix this problem ! My case Manager is amazing but not having a directory of numbers for each ones mailbox makes it impossible esp. when sudden change of their phone w/o notice to us. Frustration x100

Atrocious organization - lazy, inexperienced, ignorant case managers - executives/supervisors with poor or non existent training in dealing with those with mental illness - if you care about someone, do not let them have anything to do with Common Ties

Chris Chase and his supervisor Wanda Griffin are not concerned with the mental health of their clients. They do not even have the professional courtesy of calling one back. Their point of view is that if you truly have a problem, they will kick you to the curbside. I am the medical power of attorney to a friend with mental health issues. They did not consider helping my friend when he left a message calling in for help. They did not communicate with me and actively avoided my calls. Where are people with mental health problems supposed to go? When the going got tough, they got going. Don t trust Your loved ones with Common Ties.
