Levels of care#

Detox

After withdrawal ends, the next step in Maine is ongoing treatment, since detox alone does not treat a substance use disorder. Moving into that care keeps recovery going once this stage is done.

Inpatient / residential

Inpatient care keeps one eye on the road ahead. The final phase of a stay is spent planning the step down to outpatient support.

Partial hospitalization (PHP)

Day treatment packs more hours than evening programs while leaving nights open at home in Maine.

Outpatient

Once a person in Maine leaves residential care, outpatient sessions keep the work going at a gentler pace. Sleep happens at home, and daily routines continue.

Co-occurring disorders

Naming what is happening matters, and a substance use disorder with a mental health condition at once is called a dual diagnosis.
