Questions people ask about Higher Ground Services

What kind of care does Higher Ground Services provide?

They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Brewer is set up for.

Is detox part of what Higher Ground Services offers?

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Bangor, about a mile away.

Is there anywhere else close by?

There are 8 more within a short drive of Brewer, so this does not have to be the only call you make.

Does Higher Ground Services take court ordered treatment?

Yes. Court ordered treatment is one of the things they take, and one of 3 things they offer a named program for.

Is medication assisted treatment available at Higher Ground Services?

They do not prescribe. If buprenorphine or methadone is part of what you need, say so on the call and ask who they refer to in Brewer.

What separates a good program from a bad one?

What matters is the fit with your situation, not a ranking, and no honest page can rank them for you. Who delivers the therapy matters: licensed clinicians and counselors in training are not the same thing. Ask for the daily schedule in writing rather than a description of it.

What does treatment at a place like this cost?

There is no single figure, and anyone who quotes one before asking you anything is guessing. Medicaid covers addiction treatment in every state, though which centers accept it varies from county to county. Ask what someone on your plan usually ends up paying, which is a different question from the list price.

Do I need a referral for insurance to pay?

Partly, almost always. The size of the part is the thing to pin down. Deductibles reset each year, so the timing of an admission changes the number. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can look at the plan with you before you commit to anything.
