More about our services

MaineHealth Behavioral Health provides behavioral health partial hospitalization services for people who are too ill to attend traditional outpatient therapy, but do not require hospitalization. Often, partial hospitalization services help patients transition back into the community after a psychiatric hospitalization. Learn more about our partial hospital program.

Medication for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD) combines talk therapy (either individual or group counseling) with medicines that can control cravings and lessen withdrawal symptoms. The medicines help a person feel normal again so they can focus on therapy and help rebuild their life. Learn more about opioid use disorder and MOUD services.
