Crisis and Counseling Centers Inc

Crisis and Counseling Centers Inc provides two distinct levels of outpatient addiction treatment designed to meet different recovery needs. The standard outpatient program offers flexible scheduling for people who need ongoing support while maintaining their daily responsibilities. Sessions can be scheduled around work, school, or family commitments, making recovery accessible without requiring residential placement.

The intensive outpatient program delivers more concentrated treatment for clients who need additional structure. IOP participants typically attend multiple sessions per week, creating accountability and peer support while still allowing them to return home each day. This level of care works particularly well as a step-down from residential treatment or as primary treatment for people with strong home support systems and stable housing.

The recovery center specializes in treating clients who struggle with both substance use disorders and mental health conditions. This dual diagnosis approach recognizes that addiction often occurs alongside depression, anxiety, PTSD, or other psychiatric conditions. Rather than addressing these issues separately, the treatment team works on both simultaneously to create lasting recovery.

Crisis services complement the ongoing treatment programs by providing immediate intervention when clients face mental health emergencies or substance use crises. This safety net helps prevent relapse during difficult periods and ensures that clients can access support when traditional outpatient sessions aren't enough. The combination of regular programming and crisis availability creates a comprehensive recovery support system.

Located on Exchange Street in Augusta, the facility serves as a central recovery resource for Kennebec County residents. The Augusta location provides easy access for people throughout central Maine who are seeking outpatient addiction treatment. The community setting allows clients to engage in recovery while remaining connected to their local support networks, jobs, and housing situations.

The outpatient model supports long-term recovery by helping clients practice sobriety skills in their actual living environment. Unlike residential treatment that removes people from their daily context, outpatient care allows them to apply recovery tools while navigating real-world triggers and stressors. This approach builds sustainable recovery skills that translate directly to life after treatment completion.
