About AMHC Houlton Outpatient

AMHC Houlton Outpatient is a behavioral healthcare facility that offers substance use disorder treatment services in Houlton, Maine. AMHC has been providing service to the state for 60 years. Clients can pay for services on a sliding fee scale based on their income and family size.

One of the things I like most about this facility is they have a wide variety of services available to help you recover from addiction. Individual counseling is provided to teach you recovery strategies and help you develop your social support networks. Group counseling is available for up to nine hours a week, where you’ll be able to receive support from peers and gain insight into their recovery journey.

Office Based Opioid MAT

Another unique service that stood out to me is the opioid health home service. Opioid Health Homes offer office based medication assisted treatment (MAT) and comprehensive care management. The benefit of office based medication assisted treatment is you can schedule an appointment to receive your medication without having to make daily trips to a clinic. The medication will help reduce your withdrawal symptoms and help you focus on addressing the mental issues related to your addiction.

Employee and Student Assistance Programs

Houlton Outpatient provides employee and education support programs to help the community overcome substance use disorder. The employee assistance program and the student assistance program both offer free assessments, short term counseling and follow up services to address the needs of employees and students.
