Outpatient Mental Health Services in Portland, Maine
A Step-Down Level of Care for Continued Progress
Our outpatient mental health program is the least intensive level of care and is intended specifically as a step-down from IOP. This level supports clients as they transition to greater independence while maintaining therapeutic connection.
Outpatient care focuses on helping individuals:
- Maintain progress achieved in PHP and IOP
- Strengthen coping strategies
- Reinforce emotional stability
- Manage daily challenges with continued clinical support
This level of care is not designed as a standalone alternative to PHP or IOP but as the final step in the continuum.
