About Foundation House

Foundation House is a mental health and addiction treatment facility in Portland that’s designed to help young men build the confidence and independence needed to break free from chemical dependencies. This facility currently accepts United Healthcare, Aetna, Anthem, Optum and Cigna.

They’re also willing to work with other providers on an out of network basis. Residential fees aren’t covered by insurance, but the location offers flexible private pay options for clients in need.

Serving Portland For Over 20 Years

This facility exclusively serves adult males who are ready to dedicate themselves to a life of sobriety. The average client receives treatment for about six months to a year. During their stay, clients build up a foundation for recovery by working individually with a therapist to set life goals and prepare for an independent sober life.

This location offers residential treatment, intensive outpatient care and unique experiential therapies. Some of the offerings I noticed at this location include yoga, cooking classes, holistic health lessons, sports leagues and volunteer programs. One of the most awesome aspects of this facility is that it offers clients annual international trips to help support sober lifestyle goals and the recovery process.

Healing in Cumberland County

I think one of the best things about choosing to recover at this location is the amazing benefits of being in Cumberland County. Downtown Portland offers an urban big city environment, while a short drive away provides some of the most beautiful and remote landscapes in the whole country. Clients can enjoy the relaxing sounds of the ocean at East End Beach.

Amenities

Private Rehab

Private drug rehab provides a comfortable, secure environment that allows you to focus on doing the work to get your life back on track. Benefits include a higher staff-to-client ratio, increased one-on-one time with therapists and healthcare providers, private rooms for clients, and customized forms of therapy.

Residential Setting

Residential drug rehab provides the comforts of home with the therapeutic support needed to successfully recover. Benefits of an inpatient program include increased safety, a higher success rate, and the time and distance given to focus on recovery. Residential drug rehabs are often the preferred method of treatment, as they can be tailored to meet specific needs, offer focused therapeutic care, and provide the necessary tools to sustain recovery.

Rec Room & Activities

Recreational therapy uniquely combines therapeutic interventions with an activity, like horse-riding, hiking, wilderness therapy, basketball, tennis, or a full workout. Benefits of recreational therapy include providing a healthy way to work through the emotions of recovery, learning to build and maintain relationships, improving communication skills, and building self-esteem.

Meditation Room

Yoga and meditation are great activities to support your recovery process during alcohol or drug rehab. These therapies have been around for centuries, and they are an effective way to improve well-being. Combining addiction treatment, yoga, and meditation can reduce cravings, improve sleep, relieve anxiety and depression, provide stress relief, promote relaxation, support emotional healing, and improve energy levels.

Yoga Studio

Treatment centers with a yoga studio offer a special form of holistic therapy during the recovery process. Yoga boosts mindfulness, a sense of calm, and healthy reflection during drug rehab via breathing exercises, stretching, and a progression of specific postures.

Music Room

Music can be extremely therapeutic, serving as a valuable healing tool and an integrative feature of a holistic treatment plan. A music room offers a large number of outlets, including singing, playing musical instruments, and listening to music.

Adventure Therapy

Hiking is a great way to relieve stress, get perspective, navigate challenges, connect with nature, and improve your health - all essential components of sustaining long-term recovery. Studies also show that the body releases endorphins during physical activities like hiking. These endorphins improve mood and act as a natural pain reliever.

Private Rooms

In order to maintain a sense of autonomy, many private rehab facilities offer clients the ability to choose their own private rooms. The privacy and personal space ensure that the recovery process is as comfortable as possible.

Swimming Pool

Swimming increases blood flow to the body and brain, boosts white blood cells, and improves muscle strength, lung capacity, and overall stamina. Drug rehabs with a swimming pool offer physical and mental benefits to complement the recovery process.

Gym

When paired with cognitive-behavioral therapy, exercise can be an effective tool for overcoming addiction. Drug rehabs with a gym offer clients healthy ways to increase energy levels, balance the body’s stress hormone levels, and aid in the brain’s healing process.

Spa

Therapeutic relaxation in a rehab facility spa serves as a luxurious and effective component of a holistic addiction treatment plan. Spa services tend to vary, but usually include options like massage therapy, reiki therapy, and aromatherapy.

Wilderness Setting

Wilderness rehab programs offer all the benefits of a traditional drug rehab, but with the added benefits of outdoor adventure. Venture out into the forest to learn new skills, explore the beauty of nature, and relieve stress. Engaging in wilderness activities is a great way to gain self-discovery and release negative emotions.

EMDR Therapy

EMDR Therapy is a neurobiological treatment modality used to address trauma disorders and related mental and behavioral health challenges. Short for eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, EMDR is designed to help clients cope with distressing memories and emotions, including fear, sadness, and anger. EMDR may help clients in addiction recovery manage the psychological and emotional triggers that contribute to substance misuse and/or addiction relapse.

Assertive Community Treatment (ACT)

Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) is an integrative, community-based care strategy designed to address the needs of persons with severe and/or complex mental illness or behavioral disorders. ACT is typically provided by a multidisciplinary team of medical and mental health care providers, social workers, therapists, and other specialists, including addiction recovery professionals. These services are frequently provided in the home and community to clients in crisis, those who are clinically unstable, and those who are unable or unwilling to travel to a hospital or clinic for in-person treatment.

Levels of Care

Outpatient Rehab

For those who have successfully completed inpatient treatment, an outpatient rehab in Maine is often the next step. This treatment offers accountability and continued support, while you live at home and return to other responsibilities such as work and family. Outpatient rehab may last for a few weeks, months, or years, depending on your recovery needs.

Sober Living

Sober living in Maine helps you strengthen your coping skills and learn how to trust yourself to live a sober life. You’ll live with others in recovery while attending 12-step meetings and abstaining from drugs and alcohol. When you feel ready to leave this structured environment, you are free to move to more independent living. This usually happens after a few months.
