About MaineHealth Adult Behavioral Health Outpatient – Portland
Maine Medical Center Outpatient Psychiatry McGeachey Hall is a hospital affiliated behavioral health clinic on the MaineHealth Portland Campus, offering outpatient psychiatric services for adults.
We like that the clinic provides evaluation and consultation, medication management, individual and family therapy, and higher intensity programs including partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient (IOP) options. Treatment is designed to meet adults where they are, with coordinated, recovery focused care that bridges hospital level support and community living.
Partial Hospitalization and Intensive Outpatient Programs in Portland
Maine Medical Center's PHP serves as a structured alternative to inpatient hospitalization for adults who need more than weekly outpatient visits. The program is designed for individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders, offering a step up or step down option within the same service line.
PHP programming is DBT informed, incorporating skill building in mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, emotional regulation, and distress tolerance alongside group therapy. This approach targets both immediate stabilization and long term coping skills, giving participants practical tools to navigate daily challenges and prevent relapse or crisis.
Comprehensive Outpatient Psychiatry and Medication Management
Beyond intensive programming, the clinic offers ongoing outpatient psychiatric care, including medication management, individual therapy, and provider consultations for coordinated treatment. Telehealth options are available for psychiatry and therapy appointments, increasing access for adults across the region.

Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) is an integrative, community-based care strategy designed to address the needs of persons with severe and/or complex mental illness or behavioral disorders. ACT is typically provided by a multidisciplinary team of medical and mental health care providers, social workers, therapists, and other specialists, including addiction recovery professionals. These services are frequently provided in the home and community to clients in crisis, those who are clinically unstable, and those who are unable or unwilling to travel to a hospital or clinic for in-person treatment.
Levels of Care
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 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.
