About Discovery House of South Portland Comprehensive Treatment Centers

The South Portland Comprehensive Treatment Center (CTC), previously called Discovery House, provides outpatient medical detox and medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for adults in South Portland, Maine. After detox, clients may transition into outpatient treatment at the CTC or be referred to a drug rehab that meets their needs.

Clients in outpatient medical detox do not live at the center but instead live at home or in sober living and visit the center daily for medication and assessment. Medications used at the South Portland CTC include methadone and Suboxone. Clients also receive individual counseling and treatment planning.

Many clients who qualify for outpatient detox at the South Portland CTC will transition into the outpatient treatment program there. However, for those who need more focused and intensive rehab services, residential treatment may be recommended. Outpatient care includes individual and group therapy as well as MAT, which allows clients to continue using FDA-approved medication for a longer time while they receive treatment and build a substance-free lifestyle.

The South Portland Comprehensive Treatment Center accepts multiple insurance plans, which include Medicaid, Medicare, and Tricare, and may include private insurance plans such as Cigna, Humana, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Amerigroup, Ambetter, United Healthcare, and more. Insurance plans vary, so be sure to verify coverage information and out of network benefits with the insurer.

Levels of Care

Inpatient

Inpatient and residential programs provide round-the-clock medical and emotional support as you live at the treatment facility. This level of care may be recommended if you have severe addictions or mental health conditions since it removes outside distractions and allows you to focus solely on therapy.
Outpatient

In outpatient therapy, you’ll attend therapy sessions several times each week while living at home. This is ideal if you have a strong support system and a lower risk of relapse. Outpatient treatment offers flexibility to maintain work, school or family obligations.

Detox Service Setting

Inpatient Detox

Inpatient detox occurs in a dedicated treatment facility. You’ll live there around the clock and receive intensive medical support and supervision to help manage your withdrawal symptoms. It is suitable for individuals with moderate to severe addictions as it ensures a stable detox environment.
Outpatient Detox

Outpatient detox gives you access to medically supervised withdrawal services while still allowing you to live at home. You’ll attend a clinic for treatment and monitoring. This flexible option is suitable for those with mild to moderate withdrawal symptoms who have strong support systems.
