Questions people ask about Health Affiliates Maine

Is Health Affiliates Maine residential or day treatment?

They provide outpatient and telemedicine. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Lewiston is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

Can you detox at Health Affiliates Maine?

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Lewiston, 3.4 miles away.

Can you stay overnight at Health Affiliates Maine?

Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Auburn.

Does Health Affiliates Maine treat people who are pregnant?

Yes. They offer a program for pregnant and postpartum clients, which is one of 14 named programs here.

Is medication assisted treatment available at Health Affiliates Maine?

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which means the medication side is handled here rather than referred out to somewhere else in Auburn.

What is there in Auburn that costs nothing?

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

What if there is a diagnosis as well as the drinking?

Both can be treated at once, and programs that do are described as integrated or co-occurring. A program that tells you to come back once the mental health side is handled has effectively declined to treat you. Ask what happens if the psychiatric side turns out to need more than the program planned for.

What happens to school?

Outpatient programs run early and late for exactly this reason, so many people are treated without taking leave. A medical leave of absence from a college is normally reversible, and usually a better record than a failed semester. If a license or a clearance is involved, get advice specific to your profession.
