Substance Use Services


Substance use disorder is a disease that creates significant health issues and impairs one's ability to meet responsibilities at work, school, or home due to recurrent alcohol or drug use. This disease often coincides with other mental health conditions, complicating treatment. If struggling with substance use, seeking treatment is essential. AMHC offers substance use treatment and recovery services for individuals, families, and impacted others across Aroostook, Hancock, and Washington counties at multiple locations.

CCBHC Care Coordination

Care Coordination is a person-centered service that helps individuals and families navigate the behavioral health system. At AMHC, our Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) Care Coordinators work closely with you, your family, and your providers to ensure that your care is organized, your goals are clear, and no one feels alone in their journey. Whether you are managing mental health concerns, substance use challenges, or both, we offer tailored support, consistent communication, and connections to resources across Aroostook, Hancock, and Washington counties.

 

Our Care Coordinators Help You:

  • Create a personalized care plan based on your goals
  • Schedule appointments and follow-ups
  • Coordinate care across providers and settings
  • Support transitions, such as after hospitalization
