The Granite House

Looking for drug abuse help in Maine can involve a series of treatment-related decisions based on the type of drug abused, such as heroin, cocaine, ecstasy, marijuana, methamphetamines and prescription drugs. The search for help is also influenced by the financial resources of the individual, the type of treatment or help one wishes to receive or has access to, including short-term residential drug treatment, outpatient treatment and detox facilities, and the availability of support groups. One form of drug abuse help for Maine residents that may be overlooked is available through extended care at a sober living facility.

Men’s Sober Living Environments

Following primary treatment for drug abuse in Maine, a men’s sober living environment can serve as an effective transition to independent living. Men in Portland, Lewiston, Bangor—and all over the state—can continue their recovery efforts at The Granite House in nearby New Hampshire. The Granite House provides a three-phase program in a residential setting that increases the chances of long-term sobriety.

3-Phase Program For Maine Drug Abuse Help

The first phase at The Granite House requires participation in group counseling and a 12 Step Program, restricts residents from leaving the house, and lasts a minimum of 30 days. The second phase focuses on developing life skills as groups in this phase address money and time management, continuing education, and employment concerns and opportunities. While still engaged in the structure of the sober living environment and regularly supervised, third phase residents have secured a job—or have begun to attend classes—and are learning to become self-sufficient.

Monitoring Program

Once a resident has graduated, he may participate in The Granite House’s monitoring program. Whether he returns home to Auburn, Sanford or Brunswick, the monitoring program helps continue his accountability through ongoing assessment of the recovery progress. With his sights always set on sustaining long-term sobriety, he can benefit from the additional tools to ensure the highest chance of success.
