About Portland Recovery Community Center
Support groups, yoga and recovery coaching fill the week at Portland Recovery Community Center, a recovery community organization in Portland, Maine. The center was founded in 2012 and runs 53 meetings and activities a week, all of them planned and led by people in recovery, for people in recovery.
I like their approach. When you or someone you're helping needs medically supervised withdrawal, residential care or a certified recovery residence, the center works with Operation Hope to find immediate access to that kind of care.
Free Groups and Coaching
I appreciate their flexibility. Nothing at the Portland center carries a fee, and that includes recovery coaching. The coaches are trained for the role, and they are not therapists or clinicians, nor are they 12-step sponsors or clergy, so you get help from someone whose training is in support rather than in treatment.
With no fee, you can decide to go to a support group tomorrow without working out how to pay for it first. You also don't need to book ahead. Guests sign in at the RecoveryLink kiosk when they arrive.
The Portland center welcomes anyone who is taking steps to recover, and it has also started an LGBTQI recovery group.
Amenities
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.
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.
Addiction Treatment Programs
Adolescence is a time of unique social pressures and challenges. A young adult program in Maine addresses the recovery needs of individuals in this stage of life and gives them the tools they need to navigate it successfully.
A rehab adult program in Maine is designed for men and women ages 18 and older who are seeking help with addiction to drugs or alcohol. Programs vary, but many offer both inpatient and outpatient rehab and incorporate both individual and group therapy methods in treatment.
Alcohol rehab in Maine is for individuals whose lives are affected by excessive alcohol use. This treatment program aims to help individuals develop healthy lifestyle habits and remain permanently abstinent from alcohol.
The challenges men face when battling addiction are often different than women. That’s why men’s rehab in Maine is designed to distinctly treat men and their unique needs.
Women’s rehab in Maine allows women in treatment to feel more comfortable and safer during treatment and achieve better recovery outcomes. This is due to the gender-specific treatment they receive and the peer connections they can form during treatment.
Opioid rehab in Maine combines the use of medication assisted treatment, recovery support, and aftercare to help individuals recover from opioid addiction. Programs typically incorporate 12-step components, detox, medication assisted treatment, and evidence-based therapies.
Levels of Care
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.
Dual diagnosis treatment in Maine actively treats co-occurring mental health disorders, such as bipolar disorder, anxiety, or depression, as well as addiction. Common methods include medication management, behavior and cognitive therapies, and counseling.

FAQs
How much does it cost to attend meetings here?
Nothing. Every service the center offers comes at no cost. Meetings, activities and the support on the schedule cost nothing, so there is no fee to take part.
Who can go to Portland Recovery Community Center?
Anyone taking steps to recover can come. All are welcome at the center, whatever stage of recovery they are at and whatever route they are on.
Do you need to call ahead before a first visit?
No. Guests do not need to call ahead before a meeting. On arrival they check in digitally at the RecoveryLink kiosk, so the first visit starts at the door rather than on the phone.
What does recovery coaching at the center involve?
Recovery coaching is a free service led by trained recovery coaches. A coach is not a therapist, a counselor, a clinician, a member of the clergy or a 12 step sponsor, so the role is not clinical care. For the clinical side, see addiction therapy options.
