All 4 treatment centers in Caribou provide outpatient substance use treatment—meaning clients live at home and attend sessions during the day or evening. This is the most common care level in the city and works well for people who need structure and clinical support while maintaining employment or family responsibilities.
Counseling and therapy options at all 4 centers include:
- Individual counseling and family counseling (all 4 centers)
- Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a proven technique for rewiring thought patterns that fuel addiction (all 4 centers)
- Mental health services to address depression, anxiety, and trauma that often co-occur with substance use (all 4 centers)
- Trauma-related counseling (3 centers)
All 4 centers also provide substance abuse counseling, assessment services, and discharge planning to help you transition to ongoing support.
Medication and opioid treatment: All 4 Caribou centers accept clients who are taking opioid medications (such as buprenorphine, methadone, or naltrexone) prescribed elsewhere. If you are currently on opioid medication-assisted treatment and need counseling support, you can continue your prescription and receive therapy in the same place. To confirm whether any center prescribes these medications on-site, contact the listing directly—practices vary.
Every center is connected to Maine's state substance abuse agency, which helps coordinate care and link you to additional resources if needed.
