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.

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

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).

Treatment

Mental Health

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.

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.

Family Therapy

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

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.

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.

The closest thing I had to home, was at this place where I was able to grow and learn and open up and become the person I am. The love and commitment across-the-board is beyond remarkable and friendships to this day exist. If there s something that they couldn t achieve or help and were aware of that, they made sure to support and assist me in finding help for myself with drs and more. They help me learn basics, and supported me to go to college and not live like I was. They worked hard on communication and Trust with everyone being held accountable themselves. This place always has a special place in my heart.

Mainestay is a transitional living group home intended for young adults ages 18-25 with a mental health diagnosis and/or co-occuring substance use disorder. Mainestay is a group home with a history of client rights violations and punitive programming. With a new director the program began to move away from direct punitive programming and moved towards manipulation, gaslighting and punitive programming with the presentation of 'restorative justice'. Mainestay speaks a lot on restorative practices but misuses them and does so in a harmful and sometimes abusive matter. An example of this: two clients were being s******** abused by another client who had a known history of this behavior. when the clients bravely came forward about it, they were required sit in a circle where a clinician announced to their housemates what had happened. this was done under the pretense that the more everyone knew about the situation the less harm it would cause the victims. this situation clearly retraumatized the victims and made matters much bigger. that is just one example of the abuse of what they call 'restorative practices.' This program has a tendency to speak a lot on how all clients have choices and rights. This topic of rights is almost always immediately followed up with "you can take advantage of your rights, but there will be a conversation". that conversation is oftentimes a conversation about whether or not you belong at the program. they talk a lot about 'buying in'. and it's true. in order to survive in this program, similar to a lot of directly punitive programs, you need to do what they expect of you even if it goes against your values and what you believe. they will tell you you have a choice, but the choice will be too utilize your basic human rights or move towards homelessness. the program attempts to encourage independence, however makes this virtually impossible with the consequences residents receive when attempting to be independent. this program was intended to be a healing and safe space for young adults and at times it can be! however, the pain and suffering and often times abusive behavior from the director, state gatekeeper and clinicians moves clients away from the real healing and safety that they could be experiencing. similar to what other reviews have said, this program has a problem with staff being inadequately trained. that being said, the resident technicians they hire are almost always kind, considerate and hard working. there is real genuine love and care and compassion that comes from the lower ranked staff members they hire. those same people do the real hard work of the program. if anything good comes out of the program, it's a direct result of the hardworking lower ranked staff members. they deserve so much credit! mainestay is a very creative environment and prepandemic offered a lot of recreational activities to do. this program has pontential to promote healing and recovery, but with the current environment and leadership of the program and the state gatekeeping the treatment based off of numerical scores, it will continue to have a low success rate.

Group Home for young people with challenges. I would not recommend, clients get harassed and issues with staff not being adequately trained. Very concerning.
