About Wellspring – Women’s Program
Wellspring - Women’s Program in Bangor, Maine, is a residential addiction treatment center for women. Wellspring was first opened in 1981, giving them over 40 years of experience treating women with substance use disorder. The organization specializes in treating women who have a co-occuring mental health disorder or have a history of substance use disorder.

The women’s residential program provides numerous services for recovery. Clients can receive individual, group and family substance abuse counseling. Counselors will typically use therapeutic approaches like dialectical behavior therapy and motivational interviewing. I like that they also provide clients with vocational counseling that will help them get the employment they need to be financially independent. Wellspring also provides referrals to support services that will help patients maintain their sobriety.
Some of the group sessions that clients may participate in are women’s recovery, family roles education and skills training education. The skills that patients will learn include practicing daily personal hygiene and regular household chores such as meal preparation and cleaning. The facility allows mothers to have their children frequently visit the facility, with a rollaway bed and toys provided.

Accepted Insurance
Other Forms of Payment
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.
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.
Financing availableSliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.
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.

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 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.
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.
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone.
