Anglez Behavioral Health

For many people in recovery, the goal is not to pause life but to rebuild it. Anglez Behavioral Health's outpatient program and Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) in Augusta, Maine are structured to support that reality. Clients engage in treatment during weekday hours — Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. — while maintaining the routines, relationships, and responsibilities that matter to long-term recovery.

The IOP level provides a higher frequency of clinical contact for individuals who need more structured support early in their recovery journey, while the standard outpatient program suits those who are further along or managing lower-acuity needs. Having both options within one center means a client's level of care can shift as their needs change, without having to rebuild a relationship with an entirely new program.

Anglez Behavioral Health is built around the reality that substance use disorders and mental health conditions frequently occur together. Rather than treating one and hoping the other resolves, the center's clinical approach addresses both simultaneously — a model that research consistently links to better long-term outcomes for people in recovery.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides the clinical framework for this work, offering clients concrete skills for managing the thoughts and behaviors that underlie both substance use and co-occurring conditions. For families, the center's Family Recovery Skills Program extends this work beyond the individual, recognizing that the people surrounding someone in recovery are part of the system that either supports or strains it.

The center explicitly serves men, women, and young adults between 18 and 25 — a range that reflects an understanding that recovery looks different across life stages. Young adults in particular face distinct challenges: less established social support, greater sensitivity to stigma, and a treatment landscape that often defaults to models designed for older populations. Anglez Behavioral Health's inclusion of this age group as a named population signals a deliberate commitment rather than an afterthought.

Anglez Behavioral Health accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and self-pay. For individuals and families navigating the financial side of accessing substance abuse treatment, having multiple payment pathways available through a single provider reduces one of the most common barriers to getting started.

Anglez Behavioral Health operates a dedicated Family Recovery Skills Program, an acknowledgment that addiction treatment works better when the people closest to someone in recovery are equipped with their own tools and understanding. Family members often carry significant stress, uncertainty, and their own need for support — and programs that address this tend to produce stronger, more durable recovery outcomes for everyone involved.

For families in the Augusta area looking for a substance use treatment center that takes their role seriously, the existence of a structured family program at Anglez Behavioral Health sets it apart from outpatient programs that treat recovery as a purely individual undertaking.
