About AMHC
Situated in the quaint city of Calais, Maine on the Canadian border, AMHC Calais Outpatient is an addiction and mental health clinic located on Palmer Street. The center is minutes from the St. Croix River and the serene trails of the Moosehorn National Wildlife Refuge.
This outpatient center pairs evidence based treatment for substance use and mental health with the peaceful backdrop of Calais' natural landscape. AMHC is the largest behavioral healthcare provider in the region, operating 27 service sites across three counties, including the Calais Outpatient.
MAT and an Accessible, Holistic Approach to Care
AMHC Calais Outpatient offers extensive outpatient services ranging from standard counseling to intensive outpatient programming (IOP), as well as medication assisted treatment (MAT) with methadone, buprenorphine, or naltrexone. For those navigating the challenges of withdrawal, on site detox services ensure safety and support during early recovery.
Treatment here is not one size fits all. Clients can also access trauma counseling and relapse prevention. And for those dealing with more than just addiction, like mental health struggles, chronic pain or past trauma, AMHC’s integrated care model is designed to address substance use and co-occurring disorders together, offering more comprehensive care.
Support at Every Age and Stage of Life
Whether you're a teen, a senior, a veteran, or someone navigating recovery while pregnant or parenting, AMHC tailors programming to meet you where you are. They support clients from diverse backgrounds, including LGBTQIA+ individuals, people with HIV/AIDS, and people referred from the court system.
Their services also extend beyond therapy. If you need help with transportation, housing, or peer mentoring, they can help. By reducing these common barriers to care, clients can stay connected and engaged with treatment.
Community Connected and Client Informed
Past clients have high praise for the staff’s compassion, especially the crisis intervention team. Many say they felt seen and respected from day one. Some reviews noted that the facility could improve on cleanliness and consistency, but the majority of feedback centers around the depth of services and the team’s dedication. There’s a strong emphasis here on dignity, whether you’re walking in for same day care or working toward long term recovery, one day at a time.
Flexible Payment and Insurance Options
If cost is a concern, AMHC makes treatment manageable and no one is denied service due to inability to pay. They accept a wide range of insurance, including Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE and private insurance plans. They also offer a sliding fee scale based on income, which means you don’t have to delay help because of financial limitations. For many in rural Maine, this kind of accessibility is a lifeline.
