Detox is the stage of recovery where the drugs or alcohol are entirely removed from your body. There are two different ways to detox, with medications and without. For many drugs and alcohol, the acute phase of detox can be completed in a number of days.
An Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is a form of drug treatment that allows individuals to receive the therapy they need while remaining in their homes and community.
An IOP is typically 3-5 days per week, at least 4 hours each day of treatment. Treatment can last for a few months or longer, depending on the situation.
An IOP is a step down from an inpatient treatment center and can be used as a step down from an inpatient stay or as a more intense form of outpatient treatment. IOPs allow for the flexibility to continue working and living at home while still meeting treatment demands.
The outpatient programs in Damariscotta, ME are for those addicted drugs or alcohol. The goal of the outpatient rehabilitation program is to make them stop abusing drugs or alcohol, reduce drug use or addictive behaviors, and become entirely sober. It is generally required to attend the outpatient program for 10-12 hours every week.
Patients can be administered on-the-spot medication to ease withdrawal symptoms such as anxiety, increased heart rate, and even depression. Groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA) can be used as a part of outpatient treatment to help maintain sobriety.
A Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), also known as an Aftercare Program, is a short-term intensive treatment program usually consisting of five (5) days a week. A PHP can be an effective alternative for those who cannot commit to living in a rehab facility 24/7 but require daily medical supervision. A PHP provides comprehensive addiction services seven (7) days a week and is usually attended by the addict every day.
This allows addicts to continue working, stay close to their family and friends, and minimize disruptions to their daily routines. Upon entering a PHP, patients are assessed by Addiction Psychiatrists, Medical Doctors (MD), Nurses, Psychologists, and Therapists. This assessment will determine the appropriate level of care.
Although PHP’s are similar to residential programs, they lack 24-hour supervision. This is because aftercare patients are still expected to follow the rules of their recovery and meet specific goals. This will allow them to assimilate back into society without relapse.
Aftercare support is a service many addicts need to ensure their success at recovery. This service usually includes one-on-one or group therapies, assistance from a sponsor and other types of help designed to make sure the patient continues living a life free from drugs.
Patients also may require medication to help them battle addiction. Some people have been able to successfully recover without additional medications, but others have found that they need help during their transition. Long-term, the patient must take the initiative to attend meetings and receive help from other addicts in recovery.
Therapies & Programs

Family therapy is a type of group problem-solving that aims to improve communication and relationships between the patient, their family, and sometimes friends. The main goal of family therapy for drug addiction is to create an environment where communication can occur without judgment, hostility, or blame. The therapist is with the family as they learn to communicate with each other differently, especially with the addict when s/he is using.
