Frequently Asked Questions
Most rehab facilities in Maine accept private insurance, self-pay, and sometimes offer financing options. It's best to contact the admissions department of your chosen facility to verify your insurance benefits and discuss payment plans. State-funded options may also be available for those who qualify.
Inpatient (or residential) treatment requires you to live at the facility 24/7, providing an immersive, highly structured environment. Outpatient treatment (like PHP or IOP) allows you to live at home while attending scheduled therapy sessions, offering more flexibility to maintain work or family commitments.
Maine is an ideal destination for addiction treatment due to its serene coastal landscapes, tranquil forests, and four-season climate. The natural beauty and peaceful environment provide a therapeutic backdrop for healing, away from the triggers and stresses of everyday life.
You should typically bring about a week's worth of comfortable clothing, essential toiletries (alcohol-free), your ID and insurance card, and a list of important phone numbers. Most facilities will provide a detailed packing list. Leave valuables, electronics, and non-prescribed medications at home.
