Marijuana
Marijuana has many effects on the brain and may lead to drug treatment. When someone smokes marijuana, THC rapidly passes from the lungs into the bloodstream, which carries the chemical to organs throughout the body, including the brain. This THC, which is the main ingredient chemical in the drug is hallucinatory and can be habit forming. The way it works is that the membranes of certain nerve cells in the brain contain protein receptors that bind to the THC. Once this happens, the THC kicks off a series of reactions that ultimately lead to the high that users experience when they smoke marijuana.
Traditional Maine residential drug and alcohol treatment
The traditional rehabs out there only experience a 20% success rate which means that 80% of their clients who leave the facility usually relapse once they return to their communities. We teach our clients to address three key elements necessary so that they rehabilitate successfully and remain clean and sober for life - Accountability, Responsibility, and Time. They are held accountable, accept the responsibility for their addiction and its consequences, and learn that their addiction did not occur overnight so the recovery process could take years as a result.
Move on With Your life, Once Again
The therapies which are administered here in our
Maine residential drug and alcohol treatment enables the client to overcome their addiction to drugs so that they remain clean and sober for life after their treatment and recovery is completed. In this manner, they are able to move on with their lives, once again being contributing and productive members of society. Please feel free to contact our treatment and recovery center if you need further assistance or have not had your questions answered here at our Maine residential drug and alcohol treatment website.
Recovery Tools

We provide our clients with specific “recovery tools” here at our Maine residential drug and alcohol treatment which the more traditional facilities do not. We teach our clients three key aspects of the treatment and recovery process which includes the accountability, responsibility, and time factors. Take into consideration the following:
- The Accountability Factor – our Maine residential drug and alcohol treatment teaches our clients that they need to hold themselves accountable for their addictive behavior and the consequences that have resulted from their actions.
- The Responsibility Factor – our clients learn to accept the responsibility of their addictive behavior as well as the damage that has resulted during the addiction process and how they have been affected by it emotionally, mentally, and physically.
- The Time Factor – when you consider the fact that most addictions don’t result overnight, it’s important for the client to realize that the treatment and recovery process won’t occur overnight either. Their drug addiction may have taken many years to develop to the stage it was in when they initially entered our Maine residential drug and alcohol treatment.
apartment like atmosphere
Our
Maine residential drug and alcohol treatment was designed and constructed to be more like a residential setting with an apartment like atmosphere for the client to live in while undergoing treatment and recovery. This affords our clients certain benefits that they cannot enjoy in the more traditional facilities such as:
- relaxing in the comfort of their own apartment while they study their courses (which come with our treatment and recovery programs)
- interacting with other residents during meal time or “downtime”
- being in a clean and sober environment rather than a destructive one
One of the Key Reasons Behind Our Continued Success Rate

One of the key reasons behind our continued success rate is the fact that our Maine residential drug and alcohol treatment does not look like a clinic or hospital like the traditional facilities do. Instead, our clients enter a residential atmosphere and reside in an apartment like setting while they are undergoing detoxification, treatment, and recovery. Despite the unpleasantries that the client encounters during the detox stage, they are afforded the benefit of living in a homelike setting which is more comforting and relaxing.
