Pine Tree Recovery Center

Pine Tree Recovery Center does its part to help the people in the Portland, Maine, area by offering an addiction treatment center that spans across virtually every level of care imaginable, including residential treatment, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and standard outpatient.

Medical Detox and Residential Care

Their medical detox offers 24/7 supervision in a safe and supportive medical setting where you can get medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to help ease withdrawal symptoms from alcohol and opioids. Their residential program is the next step after that and offers a place where you can get a structured daily routine going, all while you participate in intensive therapy and learn about community living.

Outpatient Services

When you’re ready to step down, their partial hospitalization program and intensive outpatient program are available. I like that they also include some virtual treatment options for those who can't make it to the clinic physically.

Different Therapies Available

They offer a dual diagnosis program that treats mental health conditions that coincide with addiction, as well as trauma-informed therapy that looks at your history of trauma and incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and dialectical behavior therapy to help stabilize you emotionally and address the triggers that contribute to potential relapse.

When it comes to expressing yourself holistically, they do a decent job at offering things such as mindfulness and meditation practices to keep you grounded, breathing exercises, fitness and nutrition classes, and expressive therapies like journaling, art therapy, music sessions, and group processing. Some of their special amenities include private rooms, chef-prepared meals, and a home-like environment.
