Our full continuum of addiction treatment care in Portland, Maine includes virtual options as part of our outpatient programming. If you are experiencing barriers to care, reach out to us today and ask about our virtual options, which can literally meet you where you are in your recovery journey.

The Benefits of Online Telehealth Substance Use Disorder Treatment & Therapy

Telehealth substance use disorder care makes it easier to access care from anywhere, at any time. Pine Tree Recovery Center’s unique virtual format easily integrates into the busy schedules of modern life. We allow you to coordinate care with your daily routine without the need for extensive travel or time away from work or family. The privacy afforded by virtual sessions also reduces the stigma sometimes associated with seeking treatment, encouraging more people to reach out for the help they need.

Recovery Accessible from The Comfort of Your Home

With virtual therapy, you can connect with a therapist or counselor through video conferencing platforms on your phone, tablet, or computer. This approach eliminates the need for travel and allows you to receive treatment without having to leave your home. Plus, attending sessions in your home offers an extra level of comfort and security that’s sometimes absent from in-office sessions.

Personalized Treatment Plans for Substance Use & Mental Health

The experienced and compassionate staff at our Portland, ME addiction treatment center fully understand that every substance use disorder experience is unique. They will work with you to design a personalized addiction and mental health treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and circumstances.

Accessible Expert Therapists & Counselors

The program at Pine Tree Recovery Center was created by top addiction treatment professionals using extensive feedback from clients. Our caring and dedicated team of medical professionals have amassed decades of experience, and many are on recovery journeys of their own. These aspects combine to create a unique and highly effective program unlike any other in the northeast region.

How Is Our Virtual Treatment Program Different from Other Rehab Programs We Offer in Portland, ME?

Our virtual programming matches that of traditional, in-person treatment. It includes medication management, psychiatric visits, drug testing, and innovative features like a breathalyzer connecting to the client’s cellphone and geofencing to mark high-risk locations.

Our virtual treatment program utilizes AI technology alongside real, licensed clinical staff.  Group sessions are held multiple times a week, and the program includes weekly individual sessions for personalizing treatment plans and setting goals. Additionally, Guardian Virtual encompasses a weekly family support group and a step-down outpatient program for ongoing individual and group sessions.

Residential Addiction Treatment Program

Sometimes, individuals need more intensive care than that afforded by an outpatient level of care such as virtual treatment. Following detox, some people start their recovery in residential or inpatient treatment. This immersive experience provides a safe environment where clients live 24/7 during the duration of care. Ongoing care and monitoring are provided along with a host of therapies, all of which foster a sense of community and companionship with your peers.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

Another form of intensive care is a partial hospitalization program (PHP). PHPs provide a full schedule of activities like those provided in inpatient programs, but clients live at home or in a sober living environment during care.. Offerings typically include  group, individual, and family therapy, educational workshops, recreational activities, meditation, and other recovery programming. 

Substance Use Detox Program

Once an individual develops dependence on a substance, the body typically goes through withdrawal when use is stopped or limited. Withdrawal symptoms are typically uncomfortable, and with some substances, they can be life-threatening to experience without medical monitoring and care. Additionally, even if symptoms aren’t life-threatening, the associated discomfort can often prompt individuals to resume substance use to relieve symptoms. Thus, medical detox is recommended. 

Pine Tree Recovery Center offers medically assisted detox in a comfortable, safe, and secure environment. Experienced medical professionals administer medications and comfort measures as needed to minimize withdrawal effects, reduce cravings, and ensure clients are safe and as comfortable as possible during withdrawal.

Intensive Outpatient Program

A step-down in care from PHP is an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). Similar to a PHP, clients live at home or in a sober living environment during IOP, allowing them to manage work, school, and/or family responsibilities.  Care is similar to inpatient and PHP care, but it’s offered at a lower intensity and less sessions are provided per week.

Does virtual treatment work as well as in-person treatment?

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) has recognized telehealth as an evidence-based approach to treating substance use disorders. Studies have shown that teletherapy can provide the same level of support and guidance as face-to-face therapy sessions while allowing patients more flexibility and convenience when scheduling appointments. In effect, it can be just as effective as traditional in-person treatment when it comes to preventing relapse.

How do I know what treatment is best for me?

Addiction treatment is not a one-size-fits-all solution. We understand that you are an individual with a unique background and needs.
