+ a focus on the most current evidence-based standards of care.

+ collaborative opportunities and additional supports that come with being a part of a larger healthcare system.

+ outpatient consultations

+ a process for utilizing long acting injectable medications.

+ an opportunity to work with, and teach learners from different experience levels including residents from the MaineDartmouth Family Medicine Residency and medical students from the University of New England.

Join a team where patients frequently say things like:

+ "My experience with this office has been some of the best care I've received."

+ "Everything about this office and staff are great."

+ "The thing I like most is that you can really tell that people actually care and that's hard to find."

+ "All of the staff are more than amazing."

Apply today to join a team of passionate, driven individuals with a common objective: To provide comprehensive, compassionate care to the people in our community suffering from the disease of addiction.
