Questions people ask about Brighter Heights Maine
Is Brighter Heights Maine inpatient or outpatient?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Bangor is set up for.
Is detox part of what Brighter Heights Maine offers?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Bangor, 1.5 miles away.
Which medications does Brighter Heights Maine prescribe?
They prescribe buprenorphine. Medication and counseling together is the standard of care for opioid use rather than an either or, and not every place near Bangor offers both.
Is there a residential program at Brighter Heights Maine?
Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Bangor.
Can a 16 year old be treated at Brighter Heights Maine?
They treat adolescents. A program built for a 17 year old is not the same program as the adult one, so ask which of the two they offer in Bangor.
Can I choose my own program for a court order?
The order sets the reporting. The clinical side is decided the same way it is for anyone. Attendance records are the usual thing reported, and the content of the sessions usually is not. Keep your own dated record of attendance alongside whatever the program keeps.
Is what I say in a session confidential?
Legally it is private, including from family, and including from an employer who is paying. A release of information is how that changes, it is signed by you, and it can name one person and one purpose. If you want someone kept informed, sign the release early rather than during a crisis.
How soon could someone start?
A wait quoted on the phone is an estimate of a queue that moves, rather than a date you can plan around. Many programs offer an interim option while you wait, usually outpatient sessions or a daily check in. Ask what the fastest route into treatment is this week, and take that answer seriously.
