About Sweetser – Saco Campus – Saco
Sweetser provides behavioral health services for children, teenagers, and adults at locations throughout Maine. Their flagship campus is located in Saco, Maine. Here, clients can access lots of different services to help them overcome their conditions, which may include co-occurring mental health and addiction concerns. Their programs include crisis stabilization and outpatient services.
Their outpatient program for kids and teens is called Child Assertive Community Treatment, or ACT. Something unique about this facility is that they’re willing to come to you, as long as you’re within a 25 mile radius of their Saco location. Some of the services they can provide through ACT include peer support groups, medication management, psychiatric evaluations, educational courses on important topics, and counseling sessions for individuals, groups, and families.
Sometimes, clients need to be stabilized before they’re in a position to receive therapeutic help. If this is the case, they can provide stabilization services at many locations. These services are available for clients of all ages and usually occur at one of their mobile clinics.
What’s great is that they integrate with primary clinics across the region. This means that clients can get the mental health services they need at their regular doctor’s office, without having to visit a special location. This can be very comforting, especially for children who are used to those familiar surroundings.
