Alcohol Rehab in Maine
Liberty Bay Recovery Center offers professional alcohol rehabilitation services for those struggling with alcohol use in Maine.
The Importance of Rehab for Alcoholics
Even though alcohol is legal, it’s an addictive drink if you consume too much. In a 2023 study, almost 29 million Americans reported having an alcohol use disorder in the year prior. This happens when people binge drink or drink heavily day after day.
Getting professional help through rehab can be the tool you need to get back on track. Rehab treatment programs help you detox safely and teach you how to stay sober through group talks and one-on-one help. Getting support can cut down on the damage alcohol does to your body and life.
Recognizing the signs of alcohol addiction is the first step toward recovery:
- Needing more alcohol to feel the same effects
- Being unable to cut down or stop drinking even when trying
- Continuing to drink despite negative consequences
- Experiencing withdrawal symptoms when not drinking
- Spending significant time obtaining, using, or recovering from alcohol
- Giving up important activities because of drinking
- Drinking in dangerous situations, like driving
Getting help early prevents major health problems. When alcohol controls your daily decisions, or you experience physical illness when trying to stop, professional help is necessary. Early intervention can prevent complications like alcohol poisoning, accidents, high blood pressure, liver disease, cancer risks, and mental health issues.
Understanding the Alcohol Rehab Process at Liberty Bay
When you start a program at Liberty Bay, we first discuss what’s going on with you. We look at your drinking history, your health, and what kind of help you need. Then, we design a treatment plan just for you. We have different types of care to match where you are in your recovery—some people stay with us full-time, while others attend daytime sessions.
Our alcohol detox program watches over you 24/7 as alcohol leaves your system. Coming off alcohol can be rough and sometimes dangerous, so our medical team keeps an eye on you and gives medicine if needed to keep you comfortable. This first step usually takes 3-7 days and prepares you for the next part of getting better.
If you start an inpatient program, you’ll live at our center in a safe place where you can focus on getting better. Your days include therapy talks, group activities, and wellness programs. This works best if your drinking is excessive or if your home life makes it hard to stay sober. How long this program lasts depends on your progress and needs.
If you can’t or don’t need to live at our center, we have three types of outpatient care. A PHP offers daytime therapies that allow you to still live at home. Our IOP includes 15 hours a week for around 2-3 months so that you can keep up with other responsibilities. For outpatient treatment, you attend counseling sessions less frequently to help maintain sobriety.

Personalized treatment plans
When you start our alcohol rehabilitation program, we’ll thoroughly assess and help you detox safely if needed. Getting alcohol out of your system takes about 3-10 days, depending on how much and how long you’ve been drinking.
After detox, you’ll move into regular treatment with one-on-one talks, group sessions, and learning workshops. We’ll help you understand why you drink, your triggers, and how to stay sober during challenging times. Throughout treatment, you’ll set goals, build a support system, and practice proven techniques to strengthen recovery.
Aftercare and Continued Support for Alcohol Use Disorder
Healing doesn’t stop when your treatment does. Our aftercare helps support your sobriety through:
- Alumni groups to meet others in recovery
- Counseling sessions if you need them
- Connections to 12-Step programs, like Alcoholics Anonymous
- Plans to prevent relapse and progress check-ins
