New Season Treatment Center – Penobscot

The inspiration for many Stephen King stories, Bangor, Maine is also home to New Season Treatment Center – Penobscot. Since 1986, this CARF accredited outpatient clinic has provided specialized opioid addiction treatment for adults in Bangor and surrounding Penobscot County communities. You’ll benefit from flexible payment options including BlueCross BlueShield, Magellan, Humana, Medicaid and Medicare.

Medication assisted treatment (MAT) with methadone can help alleviate cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with quitting opioids like fentanyl, heroin, codeine and others. Their outpatient program offers a blended approach with proven therapeutic interventions as you live at home. You can address addiction’s physical and psychological effects to change your behaviors and gain essential coping skills.

For me, their take home dosing really stood out. MAT requires daily doses of methadone or other FDA approved medications. They simplify the treatment process by providing take-home privileges after you meet certain criteria. That way you won’t have to attend their clinic daily to stay on top of dosing. Additionally, you’ll have the flexibility to work on other essential recovery aspects.

Another great feature I noticed was their Engage mobile app. They ensure you can stay up to date with appointments and payments. You can access wait time info, appointment scheduling, counseling sessions and doctor’s visit reminders and more. You can even contact your recovery team using the app. I think this is a nice feature because it offers convenience and helps you stay connected and engaged in your care process.

Lastly, I think it’s great that they offer treatment referrals. They know that outpatient care may not be the best fit depending on your unique situation. Their dedicated team ensures you get the help you need by connecting you to higher levels of care to fit your needs.
