Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services

Working to dramatically reduce substance abuse among Maine youth

Day One gives families hope. Parents often come to us at their wits’ end. They don't

know where to turn. But Day One is here, as it has been for the past 36 years, to help

adolescents struggling with substance abuse and mental health issues. Our counselors

are experts in the field and specialists in connecting with teenagers.

We're proud of the wonderful strides our clients make as they work with our counselors.

We see clients who confront their problems, acknowledge their mistakes, and begin to

build their futures.

It also gives us great pleasure to say that Day One is doing a tremendous job in support-

ing our staff. This year Day One was selected as one of the Best Places to Work in

Maine. We were the only social service agency to earn this distinction. Making the Best

Places to Work in Maine list was a direct result of how staff feel about coming to work

every day. Staff have a deep sense that what they do is changing kids’ lives. They are

committed to the work because they know how important it is.

We hear from young adults all the time who contact us to say that they needed our help

years ago, and now they are sober, working, and have a family.

The work we do with Maine youth is only possible because of the support we receive

from the community. Volunteers, donors and funders are crucial to our ability to deliver

programs that change lives. Thank you for the support you have given to Day One this

past year.

Sincerely,

David J. Faulkner, MSW Dianne L. Nason

Community-based Outpatient Services for Adolescents and Families

• 438 clients were served through: Substance Abuse Evaluation, Individual, Group and Family Therapy, the Intensive Outpa-

tient Program, Case Management for Youth, the Homeless Youth Project, and School-based Services. Additionally, 23 parents

participated in a parent support group.

Residential Services

• Residential Treatment Center - 38 clients were served during this fiscal year. This program provides a long-term intensive

therapeutic community for up to 12 male and female young people (ages 16-20) at a time.

• Transitional House for Recovery - 6 apartments are available to house 7 Aftercare clients, which include graduates of the

Residential Treatment Center and other programs. It served 10 clients this year.

Prevention & Intervention Services

• Parenting - 40 parents attended parent education groups.

• Natural Helpers of Maine - is a peer-listening program that gives students a place to turn in times of stress, trouble or sub-

stance abuse. 183 students and 15 adult facilitators from 11 schools across the state were trained. This program is available to

approximately 8,000 high school students in the state of Maine.

Juvenile Justice Services

• Juvenile Drug Treatment Courts - As the last alternative to incarceration, this long-term program provided intensive supervi-

sion and treatment for juvenile offenders with substance abuse issues. Due to state funding cuts, the program closed on June

30, 2010. 29 clients participated in the program in Portland, Biddeford, Lewiston and West Bath during the year.

• Long Creek Youth Development Center - Day One staff provide comprehensive substance abuse assessments on every youth

committed to the Center. Day One clinicians provide a continuum of treatment interventions including individual, group and

family counseling. They are an integral part of the clients’ unit treatment teams and also engage in case management to assist

the clients in community reintegration. 73 youth were screened & assessed for substance abuse, and 113 youth were treated

for their substance abuse issues through this program. In total, 128 youth were served.

• Mountain View Youth Development Center - Provides similar services as the Long Creek program. 68 youth were assessed

and 117 youth were treated for substance abuse issues. In total, 128 youth were served.

Maine Juvenile Treatment Network (MJTN)

• Services were provided in collaboration with Substance Abuse Agency Providers, the Department of Corrections and Schools

to help adolescents struggling with substance abuse. Due to state funding cuts, the program closed on June 30, 2010. 641 Ju-

venile Automated Substance Abuse Evaluations (JASAE) were administered this year. As part of this collaboration, the MJTN

provided:

⇒ Training, Processing and Screening of the Juvenile Automated Substance Abuse Evaluations (JASAE) which

identifies adolescents who are in need of further evaluation for substance abuse.

⇒ Outreach to families to deliver the message that help is needed.

⇒ Referral to a local treatment provider.

⇒ The MJTN also coordinated and managed last resort funding for those adolescents who were in need of sub-

stance abuse treatment and did not have insurance, MaineCare or the ability to pay out of pocket. The MJTN

helped adolescents with substance abuse problems who were transitioning from a juvenile detention center to the

community, by paying for treatment while the youth was in this transition phase.
