About Blue Sky Counseling – Waterville
Blue Sky Counseling offers outpatient opioid use treatment in seven locations across Maine, including this clinic in Waterville. Blue Sky Counseling helps individuals and families navigate recovery, achieve holistic healing, and reclaim their lives through medication assisted treatment (MAT). This technique delivers “whole person” healing by pairing FDA approved meds with counseling.
The clinic is situated in a suburban area close to downtown with easy access for local residents and those from nearby towns from Augusta, Skowhegan and Winslow via US Route 201 and Interstate 95. KVCAP also provides bus service to nearby areas.
This is an outpatient clinic which means that you’ll have ample time to explore the town. If you’re a nature person, you’ll like the Messalonskee Stream Trail and Waterville Riverwalk at Head of Falls. Both are within walking distance of the clinic. The Belgrade Lakes is a bit farther 10 miles west of the clinic. It’s worth checking out as well. The beauty of it is that nature itself offers therapeutic benefits.
A major attribute of Blue Sky Counseling is that they fully grasp the challenges people with opioid addiction face when navigating recovery. They know it’s not easy, so they strive to create a safe and welcoming space for recovery. Their team is kind, nonjudgmental, and ready to help you rebuild your life.
On your first visit, you’ll sit with a counselor to assess your needs. They’ll use this information to create a personalized treatment plan just for you. You’ll also meet with a physician who will assess if medication recovery is right for you.
Blue Sky Counseling offers a prescription of Suboxone for MAT. When taken, Suboxone helps relieve painful withdrawal, alleviate cravings and normalize your brain aspects of opioid use.
They offer counseling in group and individual settings to help you develop strong coping strategies that foster sobriety. Group therapy particularly builds healthy relationships and strengthens your support network via peer interactions. In a group setting, you can gain new coping strategies by watching how others solve problems and make positive changes.
The beauty of it is you can attend sessions virtually through Zoom thanks to telehealth. You can attend sessions from the comfort of your homes. This is a convenient approach to therapy that saves time and money.
You’ll also benefit from the recovery coaching service. Recovery coaches help set goals, navigate challenges, and build a sustainable plan for lasting sobriety. As you progress in your recovery, they’ll link you to community resources that support complete healing. This may range from supportive housing for those at risk of homelessness to job placements if you’re unemployed. They may help with medical care, educational programs, and transportation aid. It’s a 360-degree approach to care that renews your zeal to live a productive and fulfilling life.
