About Dirigo Counseling Clinic – Bangor
Dirigo Counseling Clinic in Bangor, Maine, offers substance abuse treatment for adults. Individuals and families can receive positive and respectful substance use counseling services through individual and group sessions. They also provide care to individuals who have a co-occurring disorder. The cost of care can potentially be reduced through the use of grant funding from the state of Maine. The organization also conducts objective substance abuse evaluations for organizations such as the Department of Health and Human Services, probation services and employers.

Their adult services program treats adults who are struggling with drug and alcohol use. During the first visit clients will discuss why they are at the facility and share their history of substance use. Clients will decide whether the counselor they work with is a good fit for them and ask any questions they have before planning the next step of treatment. The next visit focuses on clarifying the client’s goals, getting started with finding solutions and forming a recovery plan. Follow up sessions will focus on the action plan for recovery, accountability for following the recovery process and family therapy if needed.
The intensive outpatient program at Dirigo Counseling Clinic is a 12 week program where clients receive treatment for a minimum of nine hours per week. Clients can expect to participate in group sessions and skill building workshops. Patients also have the option of receiving treatment via telehealth through a computer, smartphone or tablet.
