Questions people ask about Guardian Recovery
What levels of care does Guardian Recovery offer?
They provide outpatient, inpatient residential and detox. 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.
What does Guardian Recovery detox from?
They provide detox for 5 substances: alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine, methamphetamines and opioids. Whether a bed is free this week is a question for the call, and Portland has 8 other centers.
Is there anything in Portland besides paid treatment?
Alongside this, Portland has 11 NA meetings and 127 free AA meetings.
How many other options are in this area?
Within 14 miles there are 8 other centers, across Westbrook.
Who are the programs at Guardian Recovery built for?
People dealing with past trauma are one of the 4 groups they offer a dedicated program for.
Which languages does Guardian Recovery offer treatment in?
They treat people in Sign language as well as English, which is worth confirming before a first visit because Portland has 8 other centers and not all of them do.
Can my family come?
Involvement is usually structured rather than left to visiting hours, and that is deliberate. What a center can tell a family member is limited by privacy law, and that limit holds even for a parent of an adult. Ask what exists for the family separately from the person being treated.
What do I pack for a stay?
A short list: id, insurance, medications, clothes, and the phone numbers you would not want to lose. If you are driving yourself, ask where the car will sit, because some programs keep the keys. Sort out who has your keys, your mail and your animals before the day itself.
