Levels of Care
12-Step
Over the years, 12-step work has become an integral part of addiction recovery. Women in the CAMP attend daily meetings either in-house or within the community. This helps to familiarize them with the program and start building connections with CAMP peers and the recovery community. Attendance at 12-step meetings typically becomes a regular part of recovery even after residential treatment, so early involvement sets women up for success after treatment. Family members also become familiar with the program through Al-Anon meetings held during family days.
Sober 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.
Aftercare
Rehab aftercare programs facilitate continuity of care for clients transitioning out of inpatient treatment. In addition to outpatient counseling, recovery education, and other forms of care, services typically include peer coaching, relapse prevention, career counseling, and 12 step program induction. Clients often continue to receive support after being discharged from formal outpatient treatment. Case managers and care teams may provide medical, mental health, and social service referrals as a part of the clients' rehab aftercare service plan.

Postpartum program
A major concern of women seeking addiction treatment is often their children. They worry about being away from them or who will care for them while they are in treatment. The Children and Mothers Residential Program for addiction recovery in Maine is unlike traditional programs in that it encompasses childcare, parenting education and related services. Pregnant and postpartum mothers can keep their children close and learn how to more effectively care for them as they work on their own recovery and creating a healthier lifestyle.

Treatment
Alcoholism
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 Addiction
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.
Dual Diagnosis
Dual diagnosis is also commonly referred to as having co-occurring disorders. Simply put, this means that a substance use disorder and mental health disorder are present together. A client may be struggling with drug addiction or alcoholism, but this could be in conjunction with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or another mental health condition. The presence of these co-occurring disorders can make achieving and maintaining recovery more difficult due to the interrelated nature of the conditions. Dual diagnosis treatment at Crossroads provides clients with the comprehensive care they need to manage both substance use and mental health disorders. A tailored plan is developed that addresses the physical, mental, emotional, and social impact that a dual diagnosis can have on a client’s life. Treating both conditions simultaneously allows clients to build the positive attitude, healthy habits, and effective coping mechanisms necessary for long-term recovery.
Substance Abuse
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.
Clinical Services
Group Therapy
They offer daily women-only therapy groups that they encourage their clients to participate in, which allow them to connect with other women going through similar experiences. This offers encouragement and reminds their clients they are not alone in their journey and have support. Together women learn how to express their feelings more effectively and build healthier relationships. Groups include Healthy Relationships, Medical Aspects of Chemical Dependency, Moms in Recovery and Living Sober. There are also daily Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA) meetings.
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.
Motivational Interviewing
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.
