About Liberty Bay Recovery Center – Portland
Liberty Bay Recovery is a substance use and mental health treatment center for adults in Portland, Maine. They have detox, inpatient, and outpatient recovery programs. The center offers medical detox for alcohol and drugs. You may also have medication assisted treatment (MAT) depending on your situation. After detox, you can go home to an outpatient program or continue to the inpatient program.
The core treatment in the inpatient program is therapy. They use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT). If you have a dual diagnosis (co-occurring disorder), you’ll also receive treatment for that.
Co-occurring disorders are mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, or mood disorders. It’s important to treat your mental health issues because they’re often the reason for your substance use. If appropriate, you’ll also have medication management for co-occurring disorders.
After the inpatient program (which is usually 30 to 90 days), many people choose a partial hospitalization program (PHP). This is a step down from inpatient treatment. You’ll still have a structured program with 30 hours of group counseling per week. You’ll also have weekly individual sessions with a counselor.
You can get medication assistance and medical care as needed and you’ll have a case manager. Urine and drug screening are available. You’ll also have access to meditation and yoga. The PHP is typically about 30 days but it depends on your progress. After the PHP, you may want to step down to the intensive outpatient program (IOP) if you’re not ready to be out of the program.
The IOP is a less rigorous program than the PHP. You can live at home and work and still attend the program. It offers 15 hours of group therapy per week with weekly individual sessions. You’ll have access to everything you had in the PHP such as yoga, medication, case management, and urine drug screening.
