• Substance use and mental health assessments, group & individual counseling sessions. 
• Intensive Outpatient (IOP) treatment including assessment, diagnoses, and SUD treatment for adults in group and individual settings.

• Counseling for Family Court.
• Counseling services for affected families. 
• Treatment plans are developed with measurable and attainable goals.  

Our Treatment Approach

At Wellspring Outpatient Services, counselors meet with clients individually in a confidential, client-focused setting that allows clients to look for solutions. Counseling sessions are guided by a mutually developed treatment plan with measurable and attainable goals and may be brief and focused on a specific problem, or may be more expansive, focusing on the root causes of a person’s issues and concerns including past or current traumas, depression, anxiety, etc.

It is our goal to assist clients in cultivating their strengths and becoming happier, healthier, and more productive, using the least restrictive treatment approach possible to achieve lasting results.

Counselors may also introduce clients to services available in the community and advise on the most effective treatment strategies.  

We Accept MaineCare

We believe everyone should have access to treatment.

Group Therapy

Along with individual counseling, Wellspring offers group sessions to clients involved with:

• The Federal Bureau of Prisons
• United States Probation Office
• The State of Maine Adult Community Corrections

These groups offer empathic support and encouragement to people who are struggling with mental health and substance use issues by engaging participants in dialogue about relapse prevention, early recovery skills, and skills necessary to successfully transition back into the community.

What’s required to attend group therapy?

Unfortunately, our groups are not open to the public at this time; in order to participate in our group environments, clients must be referred. 

How much does it cost?

Services are covered by many health insurance plans, and we offer a sliding fee scale for those individuals without a health insurance plan. No one will be denied services based on an inability to pay. We can accommodate hearing impaired individuals as well as provide interpreter services from community support services free of charge.

Funding & Licensing

We are licensed by the State of Maine Department of Health & Human Services to provide substance abuse and mental health services.

Wellspring Outpatient Services are funded in part by:

• Federal and state funds from the Department of Health & Human Services Office of Behavioral Health
• Private donations
