I need to know more about alcohol rehabs and treatment programs because my sister is an alcohol dependent. I really want to get her treated as soon as possible. My parents, who are away, already know about this. They said that I should try to find an alcohol rehab that I think will really be able to take care of my sister.
Can somebody please tell me how to find alcohol rehab centers in Gorham, Maine?

I don’t know if the number still works, but you could try it.
CSATS National Drug Information Treatment & Referral Hotline 1-800-662-HELP
Edit: Treatment usually doesn’t work unless the person who is addicted wants to be helped.
You might try calling your local AA little house. These places aren’t staffed, per se, you never know who will pick up the phone, but chances are it will be someone caring that knows every rehab program in the county.
However, if she isn’t willing to change major parts of her life, there is no ‘getting her treated’. An alcoholic treats themselves, with the support of others.
Good luck.
I think it would be good if you can take your sister to a doctor first. The doctor will then be able to tell what kind of treatment program would be right for your sister as well as the alcohol rehabs that have this kind of program. A lot of programs, though, are stemmed from A.A.’s 12-step program. The links below will give you lists of alcohol rehabs in the area you have specified. Just call them and inquire. Good luck! I really hope your sister gets well soon.
