About Bangor Counseling Center

Bangor, Maine has many claims to fame. It’s the setting for many of Stephen King’s novels, features beautiful nature areas for hiking and has a 31 foot tall statue of Paul Bunyan to remind residents of the city’s history as a significant lumber port. You can also find the Bangor Counseling Center here, which provides mental health and co occurring addiction treatment to all ages.

Outpatient Addiction Treatment with a Family Focus in Bangor

The clinic provides outpatient counseling that addresses behavioral issues, mental health conditions, and co occurring disorders. They have individual and family therapy options.

Family therapy can be an important part of recovery from addiction. Substance use affects everyone who loves the individual with addiction, and it can damage relationships between family members as well. With effective family counseling, everyone can learn more about addiction and recovery, productive communication, boundary setting and more.

This can heal relationships and allow family members to become a vital part of your recovery support system. I think it’s a valuable inclusion in the treatment process.

Home and Community Treatment Services

I noticed that the Bangor Counseling Center offers home and community services as well. This allows you to get treatment in areas that are more comfortable and convenient.

Home therapy can be especially beneficial for youth, who may act differently in an environment where they aren’t at ease. Helping them at home allows them to be in their element and also lets the therapist observe common trigger points that may cause day to day conflict.

Community treatment uses community resources and partner organizations to offer you additional services and also allows you to get help in areas that may be easier for you to access than the Bangor clinic.
