About Blue Sky Counseling

Those struggling with opioid addiction can find medication assisted treatment (MAT) at Blue Sky Counseling in Waterville, Maine. It’s down the street from Purnell Wrigley Field. They use Suboxone with individual and group therapy to address substance use and help you get on the road to long term recovery.

They accept multiple insurance plans. To get started, bring an ID, any health insurance information, and medical records related to your substance use and treatment.

Case Management and Recovery Coaching to Keep You on Track

Along with the typical evidence based treatment program, Blue Sky offers case management. A case manager can connect you to resources beyond the treatment program to help meet your needs, such as housing support or employment training. They’re aware of various community resources as well and can link you to the support you need to maintain recovery.

I like that Blue Sky also has recovery coaching. A recovery coach often has lived experience and has been where you are. They can support you during and after treatment. The coach will know about recovery support groups and may help the case manager connect you to appropriate resources.

DEEP Evaluation and Treatment for OUI

I was surprised to see that along with treating opioid misuse, Blue Sky Counseling is also authorized to conduct evaluations and treatment for Maine’s DEEP program. The DEEP program helps those who have been convicted of an OUI get education and treatment to minimize the risk of re-offense.

There are two tracks, one for 21 and older and one for underage offenders. They include 16-20 hours of education as well as assessments to determine if substance use disorder treatment is needed.

Blue Sky Counseling is authorized to provide both the assessments and the treatment program.

Adolescence is a time of unique social pressures and challenges. A young adult program in Maine addresses the recovery needs of individuals in this stage of life and gives them the tools they need to navigate it successfully.

Alcoholism

Alcohol rehab in Maine is for individuals whose lives are affected by excessive alcohol use. This treatment program aims to help individuals develop healthy lifestyle habits and remain permanently abstinent from alcohol.

Men's Rehab

The challenges men face when battling addiction are often different than women. That’s why men’s rehab in Maine is designed to distinctly treat men and their unique needs.

Women's Rehab

Women’s rehab in Maine allows women in treatment to feel more comfortable and safer during treatment and achieve better recovery outcomes. This is due to the gender-specific treatment they receive and the peer connections they can form during treatment.

Drug Rehab

Drug rehab in Maine is the process of helping someone learn how to live without the use of substances. Professional staff provide treatment to address the various issues of addiction. Methods often involve medication, counseling, and evidence-based therapies.

Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT)

Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT) is a form of psychotherapy commonly used in addiction recovery. Based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), moral reconation therapy (MRT) helps clients recognize unhealthy and/or harmful thought patterns and to replace them with more positive and productive ones. MRT is designed to empower clients to make healthier life choices and to more effectively align their behaviors with their moral values.

Levels of Care

Outpatient Rehab

For those who have successfully completed inpatient treatment, an outpatient rehab in Maine is often the next step. This treatment offers accountability and continued support, while you live at home and return to other responsibilities such as work and family. Outpatient rehab may last for a few weeks, months, or years, depending on your recovery needs.

Dual Diagnosis & Mental Health

Dual diagnosis treatment in Maine actively treats co-occurring mental health disorders, such as bipolar disorder, anxiety, or depression, as well as addiction. Common methods include medication management, behavior and cognitive therapies, and counseling.

Detox & MAT

When you start drug rehab in Maine, the first step is typically detox. This is the process of slowly and safely removing drugs and alcohol from your system. Length of detox varies based on personal history and the type of substances abused.

Drug & Alcohol Intervention

Intervention staff work with your loved one to help them begin their recovery journey. Services may include pre-intervention counseling for family members, facilitation of an intervention, access to treatment resources, and assistance with program selection and admittance to drug rehab in Maine.
