Relapse Support & Recovery Services in Maine
Connextions Behavioral HealthHelping Individuals Rebuild After Setbacks
At Recovery Connections of Maine (RCOM), we understand that relapse can be one of the most disheartening and dangerous parts of the recovery journey. Whether someone is a chronic relapser or has recently experienced a slip, the path forward is never out of reach. In fact, returning to care—especially with a new environment, different level of structure, and personalized clinical approach—can be the catalyst for lasting recovery.
We Specialize in Relapse Recovery for Men and Women
RCOM is uniquely equipped to support individuals who have struggled with relapse. Our licensed and accredited programs serve both men and women, offering comprehensive, wraparound services that address the clinical, emotional, and environmental factors that often contribute to relapse.
We provide:
- Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
- Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
- Supportive Recovery Housing for Men and Women
- PNMI Residential Care for Men
These levels of care are bolstered by experienced counselors, psychiatric nurse practitioners, and ASAM-certified medical doctors who understand the complexity of relapse and how to build an effective plan forward.
Why a Different Level of Care Matters After Relapse
A return to substance use isn’t always about a lack of will—it’s often about unresolved mental health challenges, untreated trauma, lack of accountability, or inadequate structure. At RCOM, we help stabilize individuals after a relapse by:
- Removing them from environments that may have triggered use
- Reassessing their mental health and substance use treatment plans
- Offering drug testing and monitoring to ensure safety and progress
- Providing access to relapse prevention-focused groups within PHP and IOP
- Building individualized treatment plans with coordinated psychiatric care
Signs of Relapse
Recognizing early warning signs can save lives. Symptoms of relapse can include:
- Withdrawing from support networks
- Increased irritability or depression
- Romanticizing past substance use
- Lying or secretive behavior
- Sudden changes in sleep, appetite, or hygiene
- Missing therapy or support meetings
When these signs emerge, immediate action is crucial. A timely intervention and shift in care can make all the difference.
