Questions people ask about Aroostook Mental Health Center
What treatment does Aroostook Mental Health Center offer?
They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Ellsworth has 4 other centers within 14 miles.
Does Aroostook Mental Health Center offer a detox?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Ellsworth offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
How many other options are in this area?
The nearest other center is under a mile away, in Ellsworth, and there are 4 inside 14 miles.
Is medication assisted treatment available at Aroostook Mental Health Center?
They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 4 centers near Ellsworth, not all of them do.
Is Aroostook Mental Health Center an option for a veteran?
They offer a program for veterans. Whether they bill the VA is a separate question, and the answer differs between places even inside Ellsworth.
Can you stay overnight at Aroostook Mental Health Center?
Outpatient only, and nothing within 14 miles of Ellsworth has beds either, so a residential stay would mean traveling further than that.
Is there family counseling?
Family sessions, education evenings and a visiting schedule are the usual shape of it. Al-Anon and Nar-Anon exist for the people around someone using, they are free, and they are separate from any treatment program. Ask what the household should have in place before the first weekend at home.
Is there a bed available now?
A wait quoted on the phone is an estimate of a queue that moves, rather than a date you can plan around. Centers often keep a cancellation list, and it moves faster than the main one. Ask whether the wait differs for someone paying privately, because the answer is often yes.
