Crossroads

About Crossroads – Scarborough

Crossroads is an addiction and behavioral treatment center that you can visit in Scarborough, Maine. They offer outpatient rehab services for men and women. The facility is CARF accredited and a member of the National Association of Addiction Treatment.

One of the things this facility focuses on providing their clients is gender responsive care. Crossroads understands that men and women experience the challenges of addiction differently. Men typically use drugs to avoid connections with others, while women use drugs to fill a void or maintain a relationship.

In gender response group therapy, you’ll be in an environment where you can comfortably share your challenges and experiences with addiction. Counselors will be more able to provide targeted treatment that fits with everyone’s individual needs.

The facility gives you the option to participate in the intensive outpatient program either three, four, or five days a week. Each day, you’ll spend three hours in various group therapy sessions.

Topics that will be focused on include coping skills, co-occurring mental health issues, and addiction education. The length of treatment varies, but in most cases, the program will last about six to eight weeks.

In some cases, a client may need more intensive care services to support their recovery and needs. Crossroads offers a residential women’s treatment center and rehab for women with children at a separate location. Additionally, the organization provides addiction treatment services for eating disorders and co-occurring substance use and eating disorders.

Scarborough offers a variety of beaches that can provide you with stress relief, such as the Scarborough Beach State Park and Pine Point Beach. You’re also just minutes away from various attractions and activities to enjoy in Portland.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

12-Step

12 step programs such as Alcoholics or Narcotics Anonymous are support group style programs for individuals who are experiencing alcohol or substance use disorder. At Evoke they use a holistic model of addiction care that includes using 12 step programs. These programs are an integral part of most relapse prevention plans and provide continued support and accountability that support sobriety.

Aftercare Support

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Inpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Intensive Outpatient

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

Medically Assisted Detox

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

Outpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Programs

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Young Adult Program

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
