AMHC – Downeast Treatment Center

About AMHC – Downeast Treatment Center – Ellsworth, Maine

If you’re looking for an outpatient drug and alcohol rehab for adults in Ellsworth, Maine, you can go to the AMHC Downeast Treatment Center. You’ll be treated on an appointment basis and have access to individual counseling, group and family therapy, and addiction medications for opioid use. If you need a higher level of care, they’ll refer you to their live-in facility.

Ellsworth is a natural gem of a town tucked in between the Cadillac Mountain and the Union River. AMHC’s new location is conveniently close to shops and healthcare facilities. They treat addiction related mental health conditions as well.

I noticed that they’re a recognized Opioid Health Home (OHH). If you’re addicted to mood-altering chemicals or painkillers, you’ll be cared for by a coordinated team. With medication assisted treatment (MAT), counseling, and peer support, they’ll work with you to break the addiction cycle, improve your physical and mental health and support you in recovery.

They’re also part of Options Maine. They offer harm reduction training and naloxone to prevent overdoses. They can also educate you in the Good Samaritan Law, which can enable you to save a life. Along the same lines, they’re part of the NAMI support line network for young people, and offer peer services for teens who may be at risk of misusing alcohol and drugs.

Getting behind the wheel while you’re under the influence can lead to accidents which cause injuries, disabilities and fatalities. By doing the Driver Education and Evaluation Program (DEEP) you’ll understand how drugs and alcohol affect your abilities as a driver and be motivated to make a change.

One of the great things about being in part time treatment is that you’re able to find new sober activities that you love. Heading outdoors is good for you and can refresh your mind and soul. Go fishing or boating on Graham Lake, or dive into the crystal clear waters of Branch Lake.
