About Higher Ground Services

Higher Ground Services in Brewer, Maine, provides counseling for a variety of issues, including substance use and mental health. They have treatment for dual diagnosis, OUI classes and specialty treatment for trauma recovery.

They serve children ages five and up, adults and families. The clinic accepts MaineCare, Medicare and other insurance plans.

Comprehensive Outpatient Treatment for Brewer Residents

Higher Ground provides individual counseling for mental health concerns and trauma recovery. They can help with PTSD, depression, anxiety and anger management. They also provide counseling for adults whose parents struggled with addiction.

One unique element I noticed was that they have drop-in groups for various topics, including addiction recovery and trauma recovery. You don’t have to attend every meeting. I like that you can visit when it fits your schedule, which gives some important flexibility to the process.

They’re also licensed by the state to provide DEEP Services to those who have an OUI conviction. This includes assessments, education classes and reporting to the court. These classes allow you to get back on your feet, restore your license and get back on the road once you’ve completed your requirements.
