About AMHC Ellsworth Outpatient

AMHC has more than 60 years of experience delivering substance abuse and co-occurring disorder care to the people of Maine. They have an outpatient office in Ellsworth, Maine, that serves adults and children. Other services, such as medication for opioid use disorder and residential treatment, are available at other AMHC locations.

Something that catches my eye about this provider is their employment and student assistance programs. These programs provide private assessments where clients work or learn and can make referrals as needed, bringing you one step closer to the care you need.

Reducing Risks with Driver Education

The Driver Education and Evaluation Program (also known as DEEP) is a collection of intervention services to reduce the harm caused by substance use and driving. It's open to anyone but you may find it especially beneficial if you've been convicted of DUI/OUI.

DEEP may be your first step toward recovery. In addition to driver and substance use education, it can act as a bridge to counseling and treatment. Regardless of why you seek it out, it's a great central hub for support resources.

Addressing the Link Between Criminal Behavior and Addiction

AMHC clinics in Washington and Hancock Counties also specialize in criminogenic treatment. These services do a deep dive into treatment and examine the relationships between criminal behaviors and substance use disorder. They may or may not be court ordered and aim to identify and curb criminal behavior to prevent reoffending.

What catches my eye about this is how it expands beyond physical symptoms. Addiction is both physical and mental, and addressing both sides is the best way to lower relapse. However this program's focus on criminal behavior explores connections to addiction you may not have considered, broadening your platform for recovery.

Partnering You With A Mentor

Counseling is the cornerstone of recovery, but sometimes you need more personal, one on one support to help you face the challenges that rise on the path to recovery. This clinic can match you with a recovery coach whose job is to support you every step of the way, providing actionable advice through their own experiences and helping you get in touch with other programs and services as needed.

Recovery coaches are a reliable resource outside of treatment sessions. As a cross between a friendly face and a guide, their support comes alongside a personal relationship that can grow with your recovery. In summary, they are a social and recovery support tool.

AMHC accepts Medicare and Medicaid. They're also dedicated to serving people regardless of their ability to pay, so don't let a lack of insurance or costs discourage you from inquiring more about their services.
