Receive Support for the Body and Mind in Early Recovery
Casco Bay Recovery uses medication-assisted treatment (MAT) as a bridge to stability, safety, and lasting change. MAT is used thoughtfully and individually, combining Suboxone or Vivitrol with therapy and peer support to ease cravings and prevent relapse. MAT is used to create space for people to heal mentally and emotionally without being overwhelmed by obsession or withdrawal.

The real work of recovery begins after treatment—and Casco Bay Recovery is there for every step that follows.
