Outpatient treatment and support, close to home
We give back, so we don't go back.
We open in January 2027. Northern Maine Wellness Clinic will provide methadone treatment paired with counseling services for adults with opioid use disorder, right here in Van Buren.
Planned hours: Monday through Friday, 5:30 to 11:30 AM, and Saturday, 6:30 to 9:30 AM.
What we offer
Care that treats the whole person, delivered on an outpatient basis so you can keep up with work, family, and daily life.
Methadone treatment
Methadone is the medication we provide. It is a form of Medication-Assisted Treatment, or MAT, and it is paired with counseling.
Counseling
Individual counseling for everyone in the program, and group sessions alongside it. Time to talk, with someone who listens without judgment.
Support and coordination
Peer support and recovery coaching, case management, and referrals to other providers when you need them.
Getting started
You do not need to have everything figured out before you call. This is how the first few steps will work once we open.
Step 1: Call or walk in
Call us with any questions now. Once we open, you will be able to phone during dosing hours or come to the clinic — either way works.
Step 2: A short screening
A screening tells us whether outpatient treatment is the right level of care for you. It takes a few minutes and can be done over the phone or in person.
Step 3: Intake, and medication the same day
You meet a counselor, a nurse, and a medical provider. If the program is right for you, you will be able to start medication that day.
Until we open, calling is the way to reach us. There is no commitment in asking.

We are on Main Street in Van Buren.
Where to find us
Get directions (opens in a new tab)
The front entrance is accessible. Parking for first-time visitors and vendors is out front, along with accessible parking. The main lot is out back; enter from the back and head up the stairs.
Our parking and restrooms are fully accessible, and the front entrance is the accessible one — use it if stairs are a problem, as the back entrance has stairs. If there is anything else we can do to make your visit easier, please call and let us know.

What to expect from us
At NMWC, we understand that recovery is a lifetime process that looks different for everyone. This clinic was created by someone who is in recovery themselves and who fully understands the complexities and realities of the health care system. Our mission is to not only save lives, but help individuals find their purpose in the process.
