At Pine Tree Recovery Center we provide men and women of all ages with a safe and pain-free drug withdrawal and detox experience. Our drug detox facility holds itself to the highest possible clinical standards and is licensed and accredited through the state of Maine. Our experienced team of compassionate medical and clinical professionals has combined decades of experience in providing the most safe and comfortable drug detoxification available. We utilize effective and proven medical methods of detox as well as intensive therapeutic care, focusing on a combination of physical stabilization and helping clients develop a solid and lasting foundation for long-term sobriety. The combination of evidence-based approaches we utilize are uniquely tailored to the needs and requirements of each individual client.

What to Expect from Our Drug Detox Program

When entering into Pine Tree Recovery Center’s drug detox program, you or your loved one can expect to be treated with nothing but respect and compassion. Depending on the type of drug that was being abused and the severity of abuse, the duration of drug detox typically lasts from between three days and one full week. However, we never release a client into the next appropriate level of clinical care unless all of his or her withdrawal symptoms have been effectively eradicated. We understand that the drug detox program is different for everyone. For this reason, we offer the most individualized detox services available throughout the state of Maine. We utilize a combination of proven medical methods, including Medication Assisted Treatment, as well as numerous therapeutically-based and holistic treatment methods in order to provide thoroughly integrated care.

How to be Successful in Drug Detox

We understand that committing to a medically monitored drug detox program can be somewhat overwhelming. We ensure that the combination of effective treatment methods we provide make the withdrawal period as comfortable and short-lived as possible. In order to be successful in our drug detox program, we encourage our clients to work closely with the case managers they are assigned during their initial evaluation. Case managers work alongside the clinical team in developing a personalized and long-term treatment plan for each client, one that typically includes an immediate transition into an inpatient treatment center. It is important to recognize and understand that medically monitored detox is only the very first stage in every long-term program of drug addiction recovery. In order to maintain sobriety, each individual client must commit to a continuing program of clinical care.

Our Simple Admissions Process

At Pine Tree Recovery Center we have designed an admissions process that makes it as easy as possible for you or your loved one to enter into our medical drug detox program. When it comes to drug addiction, we understand the urgency involved in receiving quality clinical care – in many cases, there is a small window of willingness that must be taken advantage of. During our initial phone call we conduct a brief pre-assessment and conduct a free, no obligation insurance benefit check. If you are currently insured through a major regional provider through the state of Maine (or any major national providers) there is a good chance that all of the drug detox services we provide are covered either partially or in full. Once the finer details are worked out we begin developing viable travel plans and setting a date and a time for intake. For more information on our comprehensive and individualized drug detox program in Portland, Maine, feel free to reach out at any point in time. We are available 24/7 and look forward to speaking with you soon.
