Levels of Care

Outpatient

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.

Intensive Outpatient

Crossroads’ IOP for women is a structured group therapy option that provides substance abuse treatment either 3, 4 or 5 days per week at 3 hours a day on-site with direct contact with and access to licensed clinicians. Gender-specific treatment issues are explored in this women-only IOP with an emphasis on addiction education, co-occurring mental health issues, coping skills, relapse prevention and the necessary tools for recovery.

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.

12-Step

12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).

Aftercare Support

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Medically Assisted Detox

Medical detox is the process of removing addictive substances from your body while under medical supervision. Quitting alcohol and drugs on your own can cause uncomfortable and even dangerous side effects. In a medically supervised detox, licensed medical professionals monitor you 24/7 to help keep you as safe and comfortable as possible. The process is highly individualized to fit your specific needs, but the medical detox generally takes 5-7 days.

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

When both addiction and mental health issues occur together, it is known as a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorders. Clients with co-occurring disorders who enter treatment for addiction should ensure that they have access to mental health treatment programs as well. Treating both conditions simultaneously can allow for more effective recovery. Individuals gain a better understanding of how their depression, trauma, anxiety, grief, or other issues impact their substance use and vice versa. Mental health care is also essential for recovery to promote a positive outlook, enhanced motivation, increased accountability, and relapse prevention.

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

Couples Therapy

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

Family Therapy

Crossroads believes that focusing on the client’s family as a whole must be a part of someone’s recovery journey. In treatment, women will develop a better understanding of their relationships with family members. Family therapy with the client, her or his family supports and the clinician is part of the treatment program. In addition, after working with each client to identify family supports, Crossroads reaches out to those supports to provide information about the program and the recovery process.

Group Therapy

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.

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. Individual counseling allows clients to focus more closely on personal issues they may be struggling with that are not fully explored in a group setting.

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.

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.

I wanted to share some information for potential clients. I recently graduated from crossroads woman center and I got a lot out of the program. There was some confusion about what you can bring with you when you go. So I thought that I would leave some pointers. If you are a cigarette smoker bring one hundred cigarettes because there are lotted times Of the day that you are allowed to smoke. Also brings pens journals and notepads and make up if your into these things. Be awsre theres no caffiene so if you can detox before hand it will help tremendously.

My experience was that the intake was easy enough however I was basically manipulated into the process and to get admitted quickly! They had my arrival date and time on a Friday then shipped me out to a day program at the office I knew nothing about! I then was given all the items I refused to stay away from and I got sicker and sicker the longer I was there! My roommate was messed up on something and they never checked my person when I arrived so I see easily how people can sneak things in! There was a paid in cash person there as well who got to break all the rules because her mom paid for her treatment in cash so not everyone is treated equally! The straw that broke the camel back is that the staff kept lying to me about stupid crap to get me to stay there longer and on Monday when I arrived at the day program I asked about the paperwork I had to sign to release myself and they told me I didn t have any paperwork there I walked out and to the nearest phone and called my husband to come get me! We also sat around doing nothing all weekend and I got a migraine headache and had to rest in the family room near the kitchen and staff were not even remotely considerate of the fact I had a migraine they were talking loudly and slamming cupboards in the kitchen! I advise not going on the weekends at all if going at all! I will never attempt going again it was a nightmare!

I came to Crossroads Back Cove after a stay at a very posh private rehab center and expected nothing positive to say the least. I was full of fear and apprehension whilst also, very judgemental at the differential in ammenities. HOWEVER, the experience I have had here is one I will carry forever as a LIFE CHANGING AMAZING GODSEND not just to for my recovery but my overall happiness.The staff has more compassion, love and interest in the "residents"/ patients than I have ever experienced. They do twice the work with half the resources and manage to keep the positivity at a level second to none.I came in judging every single structured rule as punitive and was to say the least, not a bowl of cherries as the saying goes.The staff is more than willing to work with clients on outside resources, assistance and accommodate needs as they arise.In conclusion, I would recommend Crossroads Bay Cove to anyone looking towards a new way of life in recovery with the resources and staff second to none at their disposal whilst in this residential facility.

My daughter found Crossroads just in time. I cannot thank the staff enough for the love and compassion they showed when I didn't know what else to do. I would give 100 stars if I could. Crossroads welcomed her to residential and supported her to stay until she was strong enough to want to stay. Now she still works with a Crossroads therapist for follow-up. This is the first time she has completed a program and followed through for more treatment.

Response from the owner7 months ago

Thank you Louise! We are so honored to provide the care your daughter deserves. She's doing the work and we're here for her anyone else needing support.

Walking into this treatment center was hard enough, but I didn't think I was going back to high school! All female addicts under the same roof was just as hard. All the girls had clicked up. Instead of all of us being in the same situation they made me feel like an outcast because I was new. So much for females lifting each other up they pushed me down. I think maybe 2 of the staff members welcomed me but most of them made you feel like a druggie loser!

I have been a patient at Crossroads for three years and it has been nothing but a positive experience. From the intake process, to IOP, to outpatient therapy, Crossroads was there every step of the way. The providers at Crossroads have done an amazing job at making me feel like more than just a patient. Anyone within the queer/trans community looking for a safe space, this is the place to be.

After a few months of trying to stop my alcohol use alone I decided to try something different. The decision to go to residential treatment is a difficult one to make, but one of the first steps in recovery. Despite some of the online reviews about this program it became highly recommended to me by several friends. The admission process was easy and the staff were very welcoming when I arrived. The program is structured and treatment oriented to protect those there. During my time I met with a psychiatrist, outpatient clinician, attended groups daily and had other modalities of treatment to include acupuncture and equine therapy. After 30 days of residential treatment I went home more knowledgeable about my disease and the work I needed to continue doing to support my recovery. I ve been attending intensive outpatient treatment by telehealth five days a week since returning home. It s a six week program. I have almost finished week five. Along with this group I ve continued individual counseling. It was the right decision for me to step down from residential to IOP for extra support as I navigated life at home again. Once I complete IOP I will be doing an aftercare group once a week with others who have also completed this treatment through crossroads. I went from being scared and resistant to being open and accepting of change. The compassionate and specialized staff here (both residential and outpatient) make this program what it is. I never felt judged or mistreated. I was welcomed and accepted by those who understood everything I was going through. It s a beautiful thing when someone meets you exactly where you re at. I ve grown so much during my time in crossroads and the lasting connections I made helped save my life.

I'm so grateful for Crossroads. I spent 30 days at Back Cove, attended 10 weeks of IOP, and continue outpatient therapy with Crossroads staff. Thanks to this program, my alcoholism and eating disorder have been in remission for over 2 years. Their trauma-based approach to treatment, with emphasis on the unique experience of being a woman in addiction, gave me the insight I needed to successfully recover.

I ve been to several different eating disorder residential treatment centers. While the people as individuals are kind, the program as a whole is horrible. This is the worst treatment center I have ever been to in my 20 years of struggle. Their lack of consistency and arbitrary knit-picky rules are over the top and if they lightened up a bit maybe they d have better retention rates. (Also, there is no real coffee, which should have deterred me but I was so hopeful and desperate for help I went anyway.) When I was struggling with my meal plan and behaviors they discharged me with no scheduled follow up and gave me a print out of some other programs and that was it. Would not recommend to anyone. Ever. Please try anything else.

DO NOT go here !!! The staff has no idea how to treat addition. They really have no idea how to treat people either. The web says dual diagnosis, nothing could be further from the truth. You would be better off in a Motel 6 down the hall from a dealer !!
