About Health Affiliates Maine
Health Affiliates Maine is an addiction treatment facility. They'll also tackle co-occurring mental and behavioral health issues. Their multifaceted team provides compassionate care for voluntary and court-ordered adults. You can sign up for intensive (IOP) and general outpatient treatment (OP) and specialized programs to meet you where you are in recovery. You'll find 'em out in Auburn, Maine.
They strive to empower mental health professionals through collaborating with you. You’ll benefit from in-person or virtual individual counseling. They might also be able to go to your home, office, or meet you in your community. There’ll be a wide range of evaluations, relapse prevention training, and family support. You’ll learn about handling grief and trauma in healthier ways than relying on drugs. These approaches can help you learn more about addiction and find better ways to cope.
What stands out most to me is their program for military personnel. They draw from Maine’s military history, and military culture from the Maine National Guard to create a comprehensive, relatable program. They offer a tailored approach for veterans, active and retired service members, and their families. This track focuses on the unique challenges military personnel and their loved ones face with a trauma-informed approach. I think the best part is their clinicians have specialized training to help you address common experiences, like grief, loss, PTSD, and anger.
There are also social services available if you’re available for MaineCare. This can include basic necessities, clothing, financial assistance, and life skills training. There’s also help for any court orders. They also have programs for kids, too. That way, you’ll already have a start on rebuilding your foundation for a healthy future.

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
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.
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.
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.

The goal of trauma therapy is to help you process and heal from experiencing or witnessing traumatic events. Your therapist helps you to integrate the experience coherently and then explores the emotions and situations that trigger your responses. This helps you heal and reduces your symptoms.
Family Therapy
The therapist engaged in family therapy work with all family members to understand the impact addiction has had on the family unit and individual members.

This helps to support their loved one's path to recovery.
Life Skills
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.
