About MaineHealth Behavioral Health Outpatient Services – Lancaster St – Portland
Outpatient substance use treatment is a program at MaineHealth Behavioral Health, an addiction treatment center in Portland, Maine, and it's the program once called Maine Behavioral Healthcare.
They use Suboxone along with Sublocade and naltrexone for opioid use disorder, and they also treat depression or anxiety. Alcohol use disorder is treated with medical management, and incentive based programs cover methamphetamine and cocaine.
They also provide a psychiatric evaluation and include follow-up care.
Support for New Mothers
If you're a new mother with a substance use disorder, I like that MaineHealth has a program for you. They offer family support groups too. You can be home with your baby between visits rather than spending the night away.
The Portland location treats children, and pediatric behavioral health sits alongside substance use care.
Harm reduction is part of the care at this Maine clinic, but I found that medical detox isn't offered. Monday hours run from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, so if you're working, a visit may fall inside the workday.
