About AMHC Adult Crisis Stabilization Unit – Presque Isle
Aroostook Mental Health Services features mental health and addiction treatment for adults, children and families at locations across Maine. At their adult crisis stabilization unit in Presque Isle, they have 24/7 residential services. Here, they’ll help you overcome your challenges and start your recovery journey.
One thing that I like about this facility is the many ways they have to help you sober up and make better decisions about life. If you can’t come into their outpatient office, they can meet you at your home or a nearby public spot. There’s also an option to connect with a provider online if you need support right away. Their crisis stabilization units are noteworthy because they allow you to live on campus while you recover.
This is a voluntary, unlocked facility that you’ll stay at until you’re able to head to a lower level of care. This way, you can stabilize in a safe and supportive environment with the help of crisis counselors. While they don’t offer psychiatric medication management here, they’re trained in crisis intervention, safety planning and referrals.
The first thing they’ll do is perform a comprehensive assessment to learn more about your needs. Then, they’ll create a treatment plan to keep you safe while they stabilize your health. If you need additional services beyond what they can offer, they’ll refer you to other departments within their network or in your local area.
