Can Anyone Tell Me How I Can Find Addiction Treatment Centers in Freeport, Maine?

Question by ariana 3xt: Can anyone tell me how I can find addiction treatment centers in Freeport, Maine?
My uncle, whom I had always been close to, has gotten himself involved in drugs. He used to be so placid and agreeable, but lately it’s been like I don’t even know him. I can’t talk to him the way I once did before. He just gets violent sometimes. Now he’s asking for my help in trying to find an addiction treatment center for him. I’m glad that he finally wants to get help. Unfortunately, I don’t know how I’m going to find treatment centers. Can anyone help me with this?

Someone else asked the same question recently:

Over 90% of rehab centers in the US are 12step based, AA/NA. Most of the rest are Narconon, a Scientology based program, or heavily religious. Courts, government agencies, and employee assistance programs mandate 12step rehabs.

Any Good Book About Triumph Over Alcohol Addiction?

Question by BFM4L: Any good book about triumph over alcohol addiction?
I have a very important family member that suffered from alcohol addiction when they were younger. Then that person went 20 years completely sober, and now recently that person has fallen back into their old ways. Are there any books you could recommend that focus around addiction (especially alcohol) and triumph over it and how they had the strength to overcome it? There was a former CNN anchor that was on CNN a few weeks back promoting her book which mentioned how she was able to get passed her alcohol addiction, but I unfortunately am unable to remember the title. Thanks for any help you can give.
