Recovery Connections of Maine

Recovery Connections of Maine is an addiction recovery center that wants to help men and women overcome substance abuse in Lewiston, Maine. The center understands that most suffer in silence, and it wants to change this by offering comprehensive substance abuse services through its intensive outpatient program and residential treatment.

One encouraging part of the outpatient and residential treatment programs is that the center believes in unconditional positive regard. This means all patients are treated equally regardless of unpleasant histories or criminal charges.

The residential treatment program only treats men and the duration of the program is six months. The facility has space for 20 people and during your time, you will undergo individual mental health and substance abuse counseling alongside daily group meetings, psychiatric services, and medication-assisted treatment if needed.

The residential treatment program is intensive and has three phases: stabilization, preparing an individual for transitioning to vocational and life skills training and helping with integration into the community.

You can expect the Matrix Model of treatment with the intensive outpatient program. You will receive treatment up to three hours a day, five days a week. The program will give you access to alternative expression, art, and bio-psycho educational lectures. You will also undergo weekly check-ins, which many patients like because they help ensure their recovery needs are met.

The outpatient program at this center strives to offer a supportive, caring, and accountable environment that fosters long term sobriety and assists individuals with understanding their lives and why living substance free is best.
