Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

inpatient iconInpatient

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.

check iconDual Diagnosis

inpatient-file iconCognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

dialectical iconDialectical 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.

Eating Disorder Treatment

Eating disorders include anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, and dysfunctional eating patterns. Many psychologists and other mental health professionals consider eating disorders to be food addictions, meaning food is being used in an addictive way (similar to drug or alcohol addiction). Certain substance abuse treatment programs will have treatment for eating disorders as one of the services offered. An eating disorder may also present as a co-occuring disorder or dual diagnosis alongside drug and alcohol addiction.

medical-detox iconExperiential Therapy

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

intervention iconGroup 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.

mental-health iconIndividual 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.

nicotine iconNicotine Replacement Therapy

Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a way of getting nicotine into the bloodstream without smoking. It uses products that supply low doses of nicotine to help people stop smoking. The goal of therapy is to cut down on cravings for nicotine and ease the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.

Nutrition Therapy

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

house-medical iconTrauma 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.

My counselor had no idea who I was and every session we had to start over and over again with everything. After I decided to change him and asked for a simple referral, he became so upset. I did not get the medical attention that I needed.

I only go here if I have no other options. The ER doctors blame everything on anxiety or smoking too much pot. I am constantly misgendered and some people seem to do it on purpose. It is in my chart I go by my chosen name and that I am male. Staff, nurses and doctors are overworked and the traveling doctors are the absolute worst. They have no idea what they are talking about. Avoid if possible. I'd rather drive an hour to PI then a half to NMMC, even if I'm bleeding out and dying.

I ve been here as a student nurse. I have worked for this organization as CNA and Nurse. It s a very good teaching institution, a great deal of geriatric experience needed healthcare professionals. My clinical instructor Nicole T. and my preceptor Leslie both were full of knowledge and insight into patient care. I like working here, my patients are the best, and have never given me a hard time. The co-workers are very helpful too. I have found everyone to be very supportive in my work environment. The food cooked at the cafeteria is always delicious the sunset view is pretty amazing!

Probably the worst place you could go for psychiatric needs. Staff was emotionally abusive towards patient in psychosis, the psychiatrist never even checked on patient in a month span of their stay. This place caused more damage and harm to patient, leaving patient with more trauma than they had before. 3 years after being inpatient and the patient still has flashbacks and nightmares of this hospital. I would highly recommend going elsewhere if possible, especially if you have psychosis. They would rather joke around and entertain themselves by emotionally abusing a patient into believing a false reality instead of helping them come out of it. Very sad and disappointing this is how America treats mental health crisis.. They cause more harm than good. I pray all of the workers understand how horrible they can treat patients and have changed. Looking at past reviews, it doesn t seem like much has changed. Just sad.

My daughter had a crisis and was sent here, she wasn t even here for a full day and was prescribed a horrible medication that makes her not well mentally and she really wanted to get out of there so she said she had to pretend it was to working so she could leave. The doctor here said whoever diagnosed her with adhd was stupid and she doesn t have it.Yes, she does. Multiple providers who has seen her longer, got to know her, and evaluated her way better then under 12 hours have witnessed this. She was also prescribed vitamins when she was only slightly anemic (all my children take a complete multivitamin at home) and he said she s probably deficient in everything when she also isn t.My daughter also said she wasn t the only child prescribed this medication she s on and other peers were also on the same one so that s a little concerning that that particular medication is just thrown around when it s not a good medication just to put someone on without proper evaluation and time.I now have a child that s a zombie and talks to herself and not makes any sense a good quarter of the time and cries easier than before at everything.She also still has all her adhd symptoms.The most this medication does is make her sleep and I feel like she could have just stuck with her melatonin regimen her provider instructed if that was the case.Other than that she DID make friends so I m happy to hear that and the staff was amazing here and I thank you for treating my daughter so well and being consistent with keeping me updated.

Was turned away from care at this facility. Stated reason from them is that it was "due to patient's insurance" my insurance is Mainecare at this time as I am disabled and awaiting Medicare coverage. I think it's dreadful that this practice is allowed to continue. It's downright discrimination. Be aware that this facility is doing this behind closed doors. Wonder what else they hide. Advocate for yourself people, and hold facilities like this accountable for this kind of thing.

My son lacerated his foot so we rushed to NMMC and the staff were great! Prompt care, professional and personable staff, and spot on treatment. We're really grateful for the care he received.
