Drug & Alcohol Rehab Centers near Farmingtn Falls, ME

I was a client twice. The accommodations and staff are excellent. Meals are some of the best I've ever had. Clinically it's okay. Probably not worth the cost if you're seriously addicted. Ian (who runs most groups)is a great guy but has never drank alcohol in his life. They have you make trigger lists and there is a lot of CBT and DBT. For me a trigger to drink is waking up in the morning and CBT / DBT are great for people trying to deal with their emotions but real addiction is on a much deeper level. Tom Rodman ( whose in recovery and rents out beautiful Fox Hill to McClain) offers some 12 step work and they offer optional 12 step meetings but it's not enough. For a real alcoholic and addict no amount of art therapy / yoga/ CBT will really help. Maybe great for dual diagnosis people but for me it was just a really expensive vacation. Try to find a 12- step based treatment center if you want to achieve sobriety.

Crossroads - Children and Mothers Residential Program (CAMP)

Overall a great, much needed, life-changing experience for me. When I finally got myself to go my mental health was fading fast and that was my last hope. My only regret is not going sooner. Some details for someone planning to go: don’t bring anything you really like or would miss, because sadly the staff will steal it. I had a brand new expensive perfume as a gift that had to be locked in the basement in my suitcase with a few other things that weren’t allowed in- the day I left when I got my things back the bottle was empty and the cap was cracked and rolling around my bag. Many girls reported their cigarettes being stolen by the carton- which was evident because staff and patients sign in each and every item together. A few ladies had makeup stolen or tampered with. Anyway theft was reported a dozen times with no answer or reimbursement to any of the girls. Food is great, full time chef who’s super sweet and accommodating. Portions are generous, prepare to eat- a lot! The bedrooms are clean and bright and put you at ease. There is NO doctor on site, so if you come without something you need, forget it. Make sure you consider that before you go. There are onsite clinicians but the one I had seemed unqualified and unprofessional and they rarely see you anyway. Once a week. Sue is one special person. She yhas been there the longest of the on site staff and will touch your heart somehow, she was the most influential for me. This place will bring structure and faith back into your life, would recommend to anyone who needs.

Foundation House

As an alumni of this facility I find it funny at the past reviews, who are clearly from people who were not ready or willing to do what it takes to stay sober. This program offers basically every amenity that one could wish to have while getting sober. Chances are that these reviews are from entitled kids whom couldn\'t hack it away from mommy or daddy and take care of themselves. Have some accountability for your own life and sobriety, as no one else can do this for you.
