Questions people ask about Catholic Charities Maine

Does Catholic Charities Maine prescribe buprenorphine or methadone?

They prescribe 2 medications: buprenorphine and naltrexone. What a provider actually stocks changes, so ask for the one you need by name before driving to Auburn.

Can Catholic Charities Maine treat someone who does not speak English?

They offer treatment in Sign language. Whether that means a counselor who speaks it or an interpreter is worth asking, and Auburn has 8 other centers to ask.

Are there free support meetings in Auburn?

Auburn has 11 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.

Does court ordered treatment work the same way?

The order sets the reporting. The clinical side is decided the same way it is for anyone. What gets reported is normally attendance rather than anything said in a session. Tell the program about the deadline in the order at the start, not near it.

Do I have to stop my prescriptions?

They normally continue, and a prescriber at the program reviews the whole list on arrival. A prescribed benzodiazepine or opioid painkiller is the usual complication, and it needs a plan rather than a rule. Ask whether there is a prescriber on site and how soon you would see them.

What does dual diagnosis mean?

Depression, anxiety, trauma and attention disorders turn up constantly alongside substance use. Trauma focused therapy is offered by some programs and not others, and it is a specific skill rather than a general one. Ask whether the therapy is delivered by somebody licensed to treat the mental health side.
