Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

check iconDual Diagnosis

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

mental-health iconMental Health

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

inpatient-file iconCognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

dialectical iconDialectical Behavior Therapy

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

intervention iconGroup Therapy

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

mental-health iconIndividual Therapy

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

house-medical iconTrauma Therapy

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

couples-therapy iconCouples Therapy

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

family iconFamily Therapy

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Sweetser is amazing!! I would highly recommend it. In the past I ve used all that they had to offer. Now I ve graduated to having just a case worker, Vanessa. She is so great and helps me so much. Then there s my wonderful Peer counselor, John. He s just awesome. He helps in so many ways it would take me all day to tell you about it. But take my word, he s the best. And last but definitely not least, the newest addition to my team, Cheryl. She s my Psychiatric nurse. Her and her right hand Ashley are fantastic!! They have helped me so much. All of them have. If you re looking for a place to help you with your mental health no matter what your circumstances are. I m sure Sweetser can help. And if by some chance they can t help. They will find someone for you who can. They sincerely care from what I ve experienced. We could all use a little mental health tweeking if we re honest and Sweetser is the place to go. Thank you so so very much to everyone at Sweetser who has helped me or touched me.~Bonnie DennettTopsham, ME

For the CSU - I m giving this 2 stars because the staff was nice but there was an incident with the clinician Jenna that seemed inappropriate especially from a clinician. Hope the CSU gets better!

If you have no other choice, still avoid this company if you are age 18 or older. The moment you become s client, they will officially stop caring about you. They will string you along with promises and they will just keep disappointing you and making you more and more angry. I regret ever considering this company. They can, and will make your mental health worse and then shrug their shoulders when you ask for help. Avoid at all costs.Edit 8/12/2022: It's sad that Sweetser responded to this asking for me to call them to make things right. To my complete lack of surprise, they did not answer the phone once. I have left messages leaving them my number they did not call back. They claim to care, but they don't. You are a walking bag of money to this company, nothing more. I can't wait to see this company go out of business.

Once you get past the first initial interviews, you will interact with people that can t help you. My appointments were cancelled, I never received a call to reschedule. Both times I showed up to my appointment to be told there was no provider to see. My first appointment was over two months ago, and I never got what I needed from Sweetser.

I found it to be a life saver. Allison was my Dr. And listened with such compassion and understanding. She helped me learn how to move on through my difficult experiences with cancer and nightmares. Allison was my Angel. Thank you

I moved to the Bath area with great need of stable mental health services and meds management. 3 of my meds doctors and two therapists quit the practice during the year that I was trying to procure treatment, before I gave up on Sweetser completely.
