About Bangor Comprehensive Treatment Center – Bangor
Bangor Comprehensive Treatment Center offers opioid addiction recovery services in Bangor, Maine. These services are available for individuals age 18 and older and of any gender. Medication assisted treatment is the primary service provided at this facility. The staff is experienced in treating clients with addictions to various opioids, including heroin and prescription painkillers. Medicaid and Medicare are accepted, and individuals may be able to qualify for state or public funding.
One thing I noticed about this facility is that, in contrast to other methadone clinics, they provide both methadone and Suboxone as options for treatment. Having both medications allows the staff to pick one that best fits your needs. Common symptoms that can occur when clients stop opioid use include muscle cramps, stomach pain, and intense cravings for opioids. Both medications can help to reduce your overall physical discomfort.
While the medical staff will start you on a specific dosage, they’re ready to make adjustments as needed to make sure you’re on track to meet your recovery goals. As the physical discomfort is being reduced, you’ll receive counseling to give you a better understanding of your addiction. Your counselor will work with you to make lifestyle and behavioral changes necessary to support your recovery. You’ll primarily be participating in group therapy, where you can receive support from your peers and learn from their diverse perspectives.
