Drug Rehab Centers in or near Portland, ME that offer the following services: Detox

There are two essential services that you will receive before and after your drug and alcohol detox in or near Portland, Maine. You should not ignore these services because they can make or break your journey to long term health, recovery, and wellness.

The first of this is a medical evaluation. It is important that you undergo a thorough evaluation and assessment when you first check into the detox center. This process will be designed to determine whether you have any mental health or medical disorders over and above your substance abuse and addiction.

The goal of the evaluation would be to uncover all undiagnosed and underlying medical and mental health issues that you may have. These issues will most likely end up affecting your long term recovery as well as making it more difficult for you to achieve long term abstinence even after you have gone through the detox process.

In the same way, the staff at the center will use the results from the evaluation process to create a treatment plan that is highly individualized and based on your particular needs and requirements - all the while taking into account all the underlying medical and health issues that were uncovered during your assessment.

The second service that will come after detox is referral to and transition into a drug addiction treatment center. Even as you look for the right drug and alcohol detox center, it is recommended that you find one that is offered as part of a continuum of care that contains other additional rehabilitation services.

Luckily, most addiction treatment centers offer both detox and rehab (therapy and counseling) in the same facility or under one roof. Choosing such a drug and alcohol detox center in or near Portland, Maine will make it easier for you to make the transition to the drug treatment program once you have overcome your withdrawal symptoms and substance cravings.
