About Kennebec Behavioral Health – Skowhegan
Skowhegan, Maine is the home of the Skowhegan State Fair, the oldest fair in the United States. It’s also home to one of Kennebec Behavioral Health’s outpatient clinics which provides outpatient mental health, addiction, and community support services. Services include medication assisted treatment (MAT) and co occurring mental health and substance use treatment.
For payment, the clinic accepts MaineCare/Medicaid, Medicare coverage, and private insurance plans. They can also give you information about financial arrangements and assistance.
Along with evidence based outpatient care for adults and adolescents, the Skowhegan clinic offers multiple treatment and support options for those involved with the justice system.
For example, they have alternative sentencing options for non violent offenders on their first or second offense, and they also have an 18 hour intervention program for young people under age 21 with non violent offenses.
Another unique program at Kennebec Behavioral Health is their recovery coaching. Recovery coaches are trained and have ongoing training and supervision.
Coaches provide mentorship, support, and connections to resources to help every client maintain long term recovery, which is very helpful. Having support outside of treatment hours can be the factor that ensures success.
