Anybody know of substance abuse treatment centers in Calais, Maine?

Question by nice_alivia: Anybody know of substance abuse treatment centers in Calais, Maine?
I have a friend who started doing drugs after she was raped. I understand that this is her way of escape, that the trauma has led her to turn to drugs. I made sure that I was always there for her even when she was driving me away. I really did my best to convince her that she’s better off without the drug. Just 2 days ago, she finally saw my point. She says she’ll quit. Now I really want to help her find treatment centers so that she’ll get treated soon.

Oh, I’m so sorry about what has happened to your friend. That must have been really traumatic. It’s really good of you to stay there for her and convince her that drugs would not make her life any better. In fact, turning to drugs will only make her worse off. I’m glad that she has already made up her mind to get herself treated.

It would be good if she can get herself assessed by a doctor. The doctor will then get to tell her what kind of treatment program will be right for her as well as which treatment center will get to provide her with this kind of treatment. Make sure that the treatment center she’ll go to will be able to assess even her psychological needsk, specially since it was the trauma that led her to become addicted to drugs. The links below will get to help, as well as looking through the yellow pages.
