Outpatient Programs in South Portland, ME

We offer both Full-Day and Half-Day outpatient programs, thoughtfully designed to meet each person's unique needs, goals, and schedule.

Highest outpatient level of care

Full-Day Outpatient Treatment

Our Full-Day Outpatient Treatment Program is our most intensive level of care, and was developed for individuals struggling with severe mental health disorders. It’s intended for those looking for comprehensive, structured support throughout the day, but not a 24/7 residential level of supervised care.

This immersive outpatient treatment program offers a blend of evidence-based therapies and engaging recovery activities, all facilitated by master’s-level clinicians and peer interaction. It’s an intensive program that empowers individuals to fully focus on their recovery journey.
Mon – Fri, 9:00 am – 3:30 pm
Flexible moderate support

Half-Day Outpatient Treatment

Our Half-Day Outpatient Treatment Program is designed to provide support and counseling to individuals experiencing moderate-to-severe mental health issues. The program is structured to allow clients to maintain a degree of independence. It’s intended for individuals who do not meet the clinical requirements for a full-day level of care.

This structured outpatient program offers intensive therapy and counseling for a portion of the day. The half-day schedule enables individuals to balance their treatment with personal and professional commitments.
Mon – Fri, 5:30 pm – 9:00 pm
