Questions people ask about Catholic Charities Maine

What levels of care does Catholic Charities Maine offer?

They are set up for 2 levels: outpatient and telemedicine. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Portland, 1 offers a bed.

Does Catholic Charities Maine offer a detox?

No detox here. A center can still take someone after a detox elsewhere, which is the common order of events, and the nearest one is under a mile away in Portland.

What special programs does Catholic Charities Maine offer?

One of their programs is built for people who are pregnant or just postpartum, which usually means a separate group rather than the same room with a different label, and it is one of the 10 named here.

Is medication assisted treatment available at Catholic Charities Maine?

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 8 centers near Portland, not all of them do.

Is Catholic Charities Maine an option for someone under 18?

They treat adolescents. A program built for a 17 year old is not the same program as the adult one, so ask which of the two they offer in Portland.

How do I pick the right place?

Anything a program will put in writing is easier to compare than anything it only says on a call. A program that answers precisely about its clinicians and vaguely about its results is behaving well. Ask what kind of person this program would turn down, because a real answer exists.

How long would I be in a program?

The usual shapes are a few days of detox, a month or so of residential care, then outpatient care for longer. Two centers quoting the same number of days can mean very different hours of treatment inside them. If you can only be away for a fixed period, say so at the start rather than partway through.

Will my treatment be kept private?

Addiction treatment records carry a stronger legal protection than the rest of a medical file. Taking leave from work creates dates rather than a diagnosis, which is a meaningful difference. You can ask all of this without committing to anything.
