This place was really able to help me when I had a break down a few years back after my dad died. Its not a bad place if you follow the rules and focus on your treatment. If you don't and act up and fight others or staff you get put in seclusion, then they get out and leave bad ratings on the hospital and staff that tried to help them .

Accepted Insurance

Spring Harbor Hospital works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Addiction Treatments

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.
12-step icon12-Step
Participants in 12 step programs receive ongoing peer coaching and support as they cultivate understanding, accountability, and acceptance as a condition of their recovery journey. Though 12 step recovery is rooted in the belief in a higher power as a cornerstone of sustained sobriety, religious affiliation is not required. Regular attendance at 12 step meetings is expected. These meetings are free, peer-led, and available multiple times per day, 365 days per year, in most communities.
heart-hands iconIntervention Services
The best time for a drug intervention in Maine is when you think a loved one needs help with substance use and they are not seeking it. A drug intervention is an organized effort to confront them and share how their behavior has affected those around them. Intervention services can provide an intervention specialist to walk you through this process.
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically 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.

Treatments

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

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.

Programs

teen-program thumbnail image
Teen Program
Teen programs are designed to address the unique pressures teens face, pressures that can drive them to experiment with dangerous, addictive substances. They need programs that meet them exactly where they are and give them tools for long-term recovery. Therapy can help teenagers understand and work through underlying issues so they can reclaim the life ahead of them.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
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.
child-program thumbnail image
Child Program
The providers who specialize in the children's rehab space understand the specialized needs that this population faces. School-based and social services such as tutoring and family counseling are often central to treatment. Child programs may also address the needs of youth experiencing substance abuse in the home, including a parent's or sibling's addiction.
hearing-impaired-program thumbnail image
Hearing Impaired Program
A sensory disability, such as hearing impairment, can compound the challenges of addiction recovery. Drug rehabs that are specially designed to accommodate the needs of persons with hearing impairments will include special accessibility features and accommodations to make treatment as comfortable and effective as possible. This may include access to American Sign Language interpreters.

Clinical Services

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 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.

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.

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.

The goal of motivational interviewing in Maine is twofold. First is to increase your motivation to change. Second is to help you make a commitment to change. The process involves allowing you to express your views and concerns out loud. The therapist will listen affirm and encourage you to make the changes you desire in your life.

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.

Couples in Maine may seek couples therapy to develop skills that will strengthen their relationship. As they learn how to manage challenges and conflict, these skills help with current and future issues.

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. They help develop collective strategies for recovery and facilitate open discussions to help families build resilience and improve interactions. This helps to support their loved one's path to recovery.

I stayed here in February of 2020 for about a week, and it s taken until now for me to have the courage to write a review. My experience here was awful. Some of the nurses and technicians were nice, but the doctors were horrid. They made me feel unvalued and like a mental patient rather than an actual person. The communication between the doctors and me was basically non-existent. They wouldn t say much to me and answer my questions and wouldn t show any respect to me. This place literally felt like a prison. The outpatient services mental health classes thing in Biddeford across from Riley s Bakery did way more for me. I got literally NOTHING out of Spring Harbor. If I knew how bad it would have been, I would have stayed in the emergency room. Spring Harbor was a horrible experience that just made my mental health worse and intensified my PTSD. This place was awful, and I can only hope that things have improved since my forced stay here. If I could rate lower than one star, I would.

I just got out today, and I'm gonna say they gave me better help than the last place I was at. I don t think their the best in the world, but their not the worst. The staff were a little bit annoying, but other than that. No bad thoughts for them.

Spring harbor facility fails to keep their patients safe. They fail to upkeep safety protocols, such as locking the kitchen door. A safety measure they failed and one of the major mistakes that cost my brothers life.My brother committed suicide in their hospital kitchen. Took his life while under supervision that was supposed to protect him. My family is broken because of this. How does one kill themselves in the very place where they re guaranteed safety. Don t send your family members or anyone who needs help to spring harbor. #justiceforeric
