Crossroads – Back Cove Women’s Residential

Inpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Aftercare Support

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.

Partial Hospitalization Program

As a form of outpatient rehabilitation, a partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a flexible option that integrates various therapeutic approaches, including medication management, individual and group therapy, and other behavioral therapy interventions. A partial hospitalization program can be an alternative to inpatient hospitalization or a "step-down" from a residential program. PHP treatment is less costly and is often covered by insurance. The length of the program can vary depending on your specific needs, typically averaging 90 days.

Intensive Outpatient

Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) enable clients to remain in or return to their community while receiving high-level treatment. Most rehabs offering intensive outpatient treatment require clients to commit to a minimum of nine therapeutic hours per week, though clients who need more robust care often receive up to 20 hours of service weekly. Treatment modalities vary, but generally include psychotherapy, recovery education, evidence-based holistic therapies, and medication assisted treatment (MAT) for alcohol and/or opioid addiction.

Outpatient

Outpatient rehabs provide a wide range of programs, services, and treatment schedules to accommodate clients' unique and evolving needs. Many outpatient treatment centers offer evening, night, and weekend services to accommodate clients' work and home schedules. Clients in outpatient treatment typically engage in multiple counseling sessions weekly, including group and family therapy. Many facilities also prioritize recovery-focused life skills training to support clients' sustained sobriety and successful community reintegration. Medication assisted treatment (MAT) is also prevalent in outpatient care.

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

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.

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.

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.

Equine Therapy

Crossroads’ Residential Program also offers Equine Assisted Therapy once a week. Interacting with the horses allows women to understand their own behaviors and relationships, build trust and overcome fears. Horses can teach them to read non-verbal cues more effectively, become more assertive, exert leadership, solve problems and work as part of a team.

Group Therapy

Men and women in Maine who participate in group therapy sessions find it builds a sense of community among the participants. Group therapy is usually facilitated by trained therapists who incorporate evidence based techniques that promote recovery and lasting change.

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.

Trauma Therapy

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.

Family Therapy

Addiction and behavioral health issues affect more than just the person in treatment. They affect the entire family. Back Cove encourages family involvement and provides support to help everyone be more successful. Family members are connected with a family clinician who provides weekly updates during treatment and follow-up for six months after treatment has been completed. Family members are an integral part of recovery and are supported in understanding how a loved one’s addiction has affected them and how they can be proactive in recovery and set healthy boundaries. Group therapy sessions with family members of clients are offered, as well as Al-Anon meetings and family therapy sessions with their loved one.

Nutrition Therapy

Women will work closely with a registered dietitian to address their nutritional needs. The dietitian will create a well-balanced, seasonal menu that meets the needs of women in early recovery. Furthermore, their dietitians run a group on healthy eating in recovery to support continued good nutrition and healthy decision making.

Experiential Therapy

In addition to individual and group therapy sessions and wellness services, Crossroads' Residential Program also offers women an assortment of recreational activities. The facility is within walking distance to Back Cove trail, a 4.2 mile loop where women can walk or run while taking in the Portland skyline. There are also seasonal activities offered to promote physical activity and positive mental health.

Nicotine Replacement Therapy

The FDA has approved five types of nicotine replacement therapy in Maine. Patches, gum, and lozenges are available without a prescription. Inhalers and lozenges require a prescription. Discuss these options with your doctor to determine which would be best for your lifestyle and needs.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive behavioral therapy in Maine is a form of talk therapy. It involves a limited number of sessions during which the therapist helps the client become aware of negative thinking and replace it with positive thought patterns. This in turn helps the individual respond to challenges in healthier ways.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy

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.
