About Top of the Hill Counseling

Top of the Hill Counseling is an outpatient substance use treatment and evaluation provider in Portland, Maine offering individualized addiction counseling, DEEP evaluations and family affected counseling.

Operating in downtown Portland since 2004, the practice serves adults struggling with alcohol or drug misuse, as well as loved ones impacted by another person's substance use.

Top of the Hill emphasizes a small, non corporate setting where care is personalized, confidential and informed by both professional training and lived recovery experience.

Outpatient Addiction Programs

As a state licensed Level I outpatient agency, Top of the Hill provides substance use evaluations and outpatient counseling, DEEP evaluations and treatment completion and court or compliance related assessments.

I appreciate that the program works well as a step down from residential or intensive outpatient care, or as a starting point for those with less acute needs.

Clients can expect individualized treatment planning focused on identifying root causes, coping with cravings and triggers, stress management and communication skills.

I want to note that clinicians draw on cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing and family systems approaches with telehealth available for anyone located in Maine.
