About Crossroads - Back Cove
With a long history of helping women recover, Crossroads Back Cove Women’s Residential treats addiction, eating disorders, and mental health conditions in one specialized program. Designed specifically for women, the program addresses trauma, low self-esteem, stress, relationship challenges, and other underlying issues that often fuel substance use and disordered eating.
A Balanced Approach to Healing and Recovery
Women begin building meaningful connections in recovery through peer support, 12-Step participation, and family involvement woven throughout treatment. At Back Cove, healing extends far beyond traditional talk therapy. Women reconnect with themselves through yoga, mindfulness, acupuncture, equine therapy, and experiential wellness activities designed to reduce stress, restore confidence, and support emotional healing.
Specialized Dual-Diagnosis Care for Women
Crossroads treats addiction, eating disorders, and mental health conditions together instead of separating them into different tracks of care. Each woman receives individualized support based on her specific needs and recovery goals. Few programs in Maine and New England offer this level of integrated, women-focused treatment.
A Small, Supportive Space for Healing
Back Cove’s 10-bed residential setting near Portland’s waterfront gives women space to focus on recovery without the distractions of daily life. Clients can access the Back Cove Trail and nearby outdoor spaces during recreational and wellness activities. The smaller program size helps create a close-knit recovery community with personalized support and a calm, structured environment.

Note: Treatment centers offer different forms of MAT—such as oral tablets, dissolvable films, or monthly injections—and their policies can vary based on state regulations, provider preferences, and insurance coverage.
