Casco Bay Recovery

They provide outpatient. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Westbrook is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

They do not offer one. Sorting detox out comes first, and Portland is the nearest place that does it, 1.6 miles away.

They take older adults as well as adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25. Ask who reviews existing prescriptions, because that is the part that matters most for an older adult in Portland.

Alongside this, Portland has 11 NA meetings and 127 free AA meetings.

They do not prescribe medication. For opioid use that is worth knowing before you choose, because medication changes what the first weeks look like, and Portland has 8 other centers.

Within 14 miles there are 8 other centers, across Westbrook and South Portland.

Most plans cover addiction treatment to some degree, because federal parity rules put it alongside other medical care. Approval can arrive in stages, with the detox cleared while the level of care after it is still under review. Ask for the benefits check in writing, including what it does not reach.

Much of what people pack gets held at the door. The paperwork and the medication are what you genuinely need. An outpatient program needs almost none of this, just the documents and the appointment time. Ask what the phone rule is in the first week specifically, not in general.
