Services

Addiction Services

Mission

We are committed to understanding and serving people who are living with addiction. We provide compassionate trauma-informed care based on best practices and the principles of harm reduction.

Pathways to Treatment

We recognize that people seeking treatment for opioid use disorder may be at different stages in their recovery and their readiness to change. A one-size-fits-all treatment program can feel frustrating to both patients and providers. To ensure that we are responsive to our patients’ needs and providing the best care possible, we have provided several pathways.

  • Bridge Clinic
    • Weekly outpatient appointments with a medical provider for low-barrier access to medication for opioid use disorder
  • Recovery Group
    • Weekly appointments with integrated outpatient care and group counseling for patients with stimulant and opioid use disorder
  • Intensive Outpatient Program
    • Weekly outpatient appointments with a medical provider, integrated with virtual group counseling.
  • Maintenance
    • Monthly appointments with a primary care provider for maintenance on medications for opioid use disorder.

Medications

We offer Sublocade, Suboxone, Subutex and Vivitrol.

What To Expect

Your first appointment is an opportunity for us to address any immediate risks related to drug use you may be facing. If appropriate, we help you initiate medication for opioid use disorder and send you home with harm-reduction supplies, like Narcan and medication lock boxes.

You will meet with one of our Behavioral Health partners who will help us develop a holistic wellness plan based on psychosocial assessments conducted on-site over the course of 1-3 appointments. These assessments help us identify any barriers to recovery you may be facing, such as lack of transportation, homelessness, mental illness, or chronic disease.

You can expect to engage with our care team on a weekly basis while you stabilize on medication. From there you and your care team may decide a higher level of care to learn relapse prevention skills is essential to your recovery or you have reached a place where you are ready to sustain your recovery through community and peer support with ongoing medication management.

It is extremely rewarding to be involved with people’s recovery and helping to improve their health and overall well-being.
– Dr. Paul Vinsel, DO

Injury Prevention and Safety

You’ve no doubt heard the saying “prevention is the best medicine” — and it’s absolutely true. To help you steer clear of injury and illness, Central Maine Healthcare has compiled our best health and safety tips.

The Flu Virus (Influenza)

The flu virus is now widespread in Maine and across the United States. To reduce your risk of infection, it is important to:

  • Get vaccinated — it’s not too late. Find a primary care provider near you.
  • Wash your hands
  • Stay home if you’re sick
  • Cover your cough with a sleeve or a tissue

Winter Safety

Winter always presents many safety hazards, both indoors and out. These how-to lists will help you have a healthy, accident-free winter:

Keep your home safe and warm

  • Test your smoke alarm monthly and change the batteries when you change your clocks.
  • Have your heating system inspected and tuned up yearly.
  • Keep portable space heaters three feet from bedding, furniture, and clothing.
  • Have your chimney inspected each year.

Survive a winter storm

Be prepared! Keep extra blankets, flashlights, batteries, matches, first aid kits, water, required medications and non-perishable food on hand.

Walk safely in icy, snowy weather

  • Do light warm-up activities before you walk, shovel snow or other strenuous activities
  • Take frequent breaks
  • Dress in layers and wear boots with non-skid soles
  • Dress in bright colors so drivers can see you

Drive safely in winter weather

  • Have your car serviced and drive slowly in bad weather
  • Check the level of antifreeze
  • Make sure your battery is in good shape
  • Check the tread on your tires or have snow tires put on your vehicle
  • Keep emergency gear in your vehicle (flashlight, jumper cables, sand for traction, ice scraper, and extra blankets)

Sleep Medicine

If you’re an adult in America, chances are you’re not getting the sleep you need. In fact, six out of 10 of us have a sleep disorder, and most of those are undiagnosed and untreated. Lack of good shut-eye not only can make you tired, irritable and forgetful, it can put you on track for serious health problems including heart disease, high blood pressure and stroke.

Understanding What’s Keeping You Up

Your sleep issue might be caused by several factors, even another medical condition. At Central Maine Healthcare, we specialize in diagnosing and treating a wide range of sleep disorders. Your care starts with a conversation with one of our pulmonologists, because there’s a strong connection between breathing and sleep. Together, you can talk through your specific symptoms and concerns.

Depending on your needs, we may then recommend an overnight sleep study. Think of it as a little getaway: you’ll spend the night in one of our eight private sleep rooms, including your own bath and shower. At Central Maine Healthcare, we take your comfort up a notch; whether you sleep better in a room that’s chilly or warm, your own temperature control lets you regulate the heat in your private space.

While you sleep, machines will monitor your blood oxygen levels, leg and arm movement, and other factors that affect your sound sleep. With that data, we’ll zero in on the reasons why you’re not getting the sleep you need, and get you started on the road to a far better quality of life.

Sleep Disorders

Treating sleep disorders can be tricky, because so often the symptoms — fatigue, difficulty concentrating, struggling to fall asleep and so many more – are also symptoms of other disorders. It takes highly trained sleep specialists to pinpoint your specific problem and get you back to feeling your energetic best.

When you notice sleep-related symptoms, reach out to the experts at Central Maine Healthcare. Our board-certified pulmonologists use the latest tests and techniques to determine how to help you sleep well and improve your overall health and wellness. That includes access to our fully accredited sleep center in Lewiston, one of the most elegant sleep study sites in the country.

Comprehensive Care for Sleep Apnea

The treatment of choice for sleep apnea is using a CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) or BiPAP Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure) machine, which deliver pressurized air through a mask to keep your airways open. Central Maine offers the latest state-of-the-art options to maximize effectiveness and your comfort.

If that doesn’t resolve the problem after a 3-month trial period, your provider may recommend surgery to remove the tissue that’s restricting your airway when you sleep. Central Maine Healthcare surgeons specialize in newer, minimally invasive procedures that use radiofrequency energy to shrink the tissue — especially effective for mild to moderate sleep apnea.

Lifestyle Support for a Better Night’s Sleep

Every day, you make choices that affect the way you’ll sleep that night. For most sleep disorders, those choices can make all the difference between feeling rested the next day, and feeling sluggish.

Your sleep medicine specialist at Central Maine can provide the education, support and resources you need for healthier living and better sleep. For most sleep conditions, habits like smoking — or drinking coffee or alcohol shortly before you go to bed — is likely to keep you up at night. Heavy meals can also interrupt your sleep; a big bowl of pasta might make you sleepy, but so many dense carbs make your body work harder to digest the food—and when your body is working hard, it may not want to relax into a deep sleep.

Relaxation techniques such as yoga, deep breathing and meditation can help relax your body and mind, and better prepare it for a night of rest. Other lifestyle strategies, such as a keeping to a regular sleep schedule, moderate exercise, hot showers at night and massage can support good sleep, too.

Medicine Can Help You Sleep

As part of your treatment plan, your provider may recommend drug therapy to help you sleep.

Often, over-the-counter remedies will do the job. In other instances, prescription meds are the best treatment, including medications for narcolepsy that stimulate your central nervous system and prevent you from suddenly falling asleep during the day. If your narcolepsy is more serious, you could be prescribed an amphetamine-like medication; such drugs bring more side effects, but they also are more powerful weapons against your disorder.

If you’re diagnosed with restless leg syndrome, your first medication line of defense many be an anti-seizure drug to curb your involuntary leg movements. Less favorable—but prescribed if necessary—are drugs that can boost the effects of dopamine in your brain; these medications can trigger help the brain send messages to your legs to lie still.

As with all of Central Maine Healthcare’s programs, individual counseling is a vital part of your treatment. We’ll make sure you understand why you haven’t been sleeping, and how we can work together to change that.

Neurology

Neurology, simply put, is the branch of medicine that treats disorders of the nervous system. That encompasses the brain, brain stem, nerves and spinal cord. The largest part of the field is the central nervous system, where we find control of our most basic behaviors—movements, speech, understanding and balance.

Central Maine Neurology

Central Maine’s Department of Neurology treats adults for disorders such as stroke, epilepsy, neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, movement disorders such as Parkinson’s, dementia, cognitive disorders and more. If it’s a disorder of your brain or spinal cord, we treat it in Neurology.

Our neurologists and other doctors are specialists in epilepsy, movement disorders and other neurological disorders. Not all of the illnesses we treat are unusual or extreme; if you’re experiencing headaches or lower back pain, we will evaluate you to be sure you have an accurate diagnosis and a solid treatment plan. If your condition is more serious, such as multiple sclerosis or head and neck cancer, we have the expertise to treat those illnesses, too.

Neurology will closely coordinate your treatment, working side by side with physical therapists, speech therapists and other clinicians to make sure your personalized treatment plan is perfectly suited to your condition and preferences.

Neurosciences

If you have a neurological disorder, we can help.

Symptoms of neurological disorders aren’t easy to navigate, but we’re here to help. Our board-certified neuroscience team is trained to diagnose and treat the full range of diseases linked to the brain, spine, muscles and nerves.

We treat the full range of neurological conditions ranging from movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease to chronic back pain and stroke. We’re proud that our efforts to prevent and treat stroke rapidly have resulted in certification as a Primary Stroke Center by the Joint Commission.

Among the reasons we are certified is the comprehensive and holistic nature of our care. In addition to a partnership with MGH and full suite of technology, we have a team including neurologists, orthopedic surgeons and specialists from other related fields. Specialized nursing care, physical and occupational therapy, social work and other vitally important supportive services are also key components of our world-class neuroscience services.

Central Maine Healthcare also maintains an extensive online health library, where you and your can access the latest medical and rehab information related to your condition. You can use out interactive tools to create lists of questions you can ask your neurologist, use our checklists to evaluate your own progress, and learn as you go so you can make confident decisions about your healthcare.

Support Groups

Surgical services

When you or a loved one is faced with surgery, we know how important it is to be close to home and family. That’s why Central Maine Healthcare is proud to provide the region’s most comprehensive surgical care—right in your own community.

Each of our locations in Lewiston, Bridgton, Rumford and Topsham is staffed by the same dedicated team of surgeons, ensuring you receive the highest level of care without the stress of travel. These experts perform a full range of procedures, from routine repairs to severe traumas, using less invasive techniques to help you get back on your feet faster.

With our fully integrated health system, you also have access to state-of-the-art inpatient and outpatient facilities, advanced technology, convenient lab and imaging and more resources wherever you seek care. And you can always count on us to listen and walk you through what to expect at every step, so you can feel at ease.

Expertise You Can Trust

All of our general surgeons are board certified and fellowship trained, many with advanced certifications in treating problems with the abdominal wall (hernia), colon and biliary system (gallbladder and bile ducts). They’re backed by specialty trained operating room nurses, anesthesiologists, rehabilitation specialists and more committed to your health and wellness.

Complete Range of Specialties

In addition to general surgery, Central Maine Healthcare offers experts in nearly every surgical subspecialty. From life-saving heart and cancer procedures to life-changing weight loss, joint replacement and plastic and reconstructive options, you’ll find the specialist to meet your needs.

Advanced Trauma Care

Serious or life-threatening injuries happen when you least expect them, but rest assured we are always ready to respond. Our general surgeons are available around-the-clock and are specially trained to treat severe injuries. We also have on-call access to orthopedic surgeons.

State-of-the-Art Facilities

All of our hospitals feature multiple operating suites, fully equipped with best-in-class technologies, specialized labs, post-anesthesia recovery units and more to maximize your safety and help ensure the best possible outcome.

Less Pain, Faster Recovery

Our surgeons use some of the most minimally invasive techniques available for a wide range of procedures, requiring just a few small incisions. That often means significantly less pain and scarring, fewer complications and faster healing. In fact, many of our procedures can be done on a same-day basis—allowing you to go home and rest comfortably within hours of surgery. Common laparoscopic options include hernia repair, gallbladder and appendix removal and complex hysterectomies.

Comfort & Convenience

If you do require an overnight stay, you’ll find a warm, restful environment at each of our locations. Most of our inpatient rooms are all-private, with individual bathrooms and other home-like amenities. There’s also plenty of room for a loved one to stay with you and flexible visiting hours.

Support for Every Step

We understand undergoing surgery is a stressful time, so we’ve made sure to make your experience as easy as possible.

It starts with our convenient scheduling and pre-admission appointments, where one of our caring nurses will handle all testing, walk you through your instructions and answer any questions.

On the big day, we’ll make sure you feel comfortable and carefully monitor you before, during and after your procedure. We’ll also help coordinate any ongoing care, including our swing bed program for extra recovery time, as well as personalized rehabilitation to help you get back to the life you love.

Healing Environment Inspired Design

The Cancer Care Center was thoughtfully designed to incorporate the landscape in and around Lewiston. Local mills and factories, features of the region’s proud heritage, played a crucial part in the design concept. The interior architecture and layout was inspired by the work and research being conducted in DNA research and how it relates to cancer care. Using natural light, sustainable features, growing plants and open space to allow for the best possible healing environment.

Linear Accelerators and Radiation Therapy
This center has two state-of-the-art Varian TrueBeam Linear Accelerators for the radiation oncology department. A medical linear accelerator (LINAC) is the device most commonly used for radiation treatments for patients with cancer. It delivers high-energy x-rays or electrons to the region of the patient’s tumor. Using this advanced technology, these treatments can be delivered in such a way that they destroy the cancer cells while sparing the surrounding normal tissue.

More than half of U.S. cancer patients receive radiation therapy — and many of these treatments wouldn’t be possible without a machine called a linear accelerator (LINAC). A linear accelerator, also referred to as LINAC, is a machine that aims radiation at cancer tumors with pinpoint accuracy, sparing nearby healthy tissue. It’s used to deliver several types of external beam radiation therapy.

LINACs send radiation, such as x-rays or electron beams, through the body and into cancer tumors. Today’s LINACs are equipped with 3D image guidance like CT scanning to accurately target tumors. Special software then matches radiation beams to unique tumor sizes and shapes. This customized approach makes external beam radiation therapy safe and precise for cancer treatment.

Infusion Suites
Our infusion suites are designed to provide the most comfortable and calming setting for our patients who are undergoing chemotherapy treatment. The Suites are designed with natural light, private entertainment screens, comfortable seating and, most importantly, the dedicated attention of our nursing team with a large nursing station located within the same room.

Onsite Lab
Patients can conveniently access any of the variety of laboratory tests are needed for navigating cancer detection, diagnosis and treatment. Lab tests also may be used to screen high-risk patients, pinpoint the stage of cancer, identify treatment options and evaluate whether the cancer is responding to treatment.

Onsite Pharmacy
The pharmacy team at the Cancer Care Center understands that cancer is a complex disease, and that oncology medications play a key role in fighting it. Our onsite oncology pharmacy provides quality care in several ways and CMMC Cancer Center pharmacists guide patients through the process to educate patients and their caregiver, helping them understand medications and manage side effects.

Cancer care

“A defining feature of everyone who works here is they have a passion for the care of patients with cancer. From the front office, nurses , pharmacy, radiation colleagues, people would not be in here if they did not feel connected to the mission for care” – Hector Tarraza, MD, Chief of the Central Maine Healthcare Oncology Institute

With thoughtful design, Central Maine Healthcare’s oncology team will now be assembled under one roof—fully embracing the patient on their journey from diagnosis to wellness and all the challenging steps in between.

The Cancer Care Center at Central Maine Medical Center is an integrated, multi-disciplinary program that combines a full spectrum of services and medical specialists to diagnose and treat cancer all in one center.

Primary care

Primary care is your first line of defense against day-to-day illnesses and chronic conditions. Think of it like an ongoing maintenance program for your body and your health – the same way you think of spring cleaning for your home or oil changes for your car.

At Central Maine Healthcare, we make primary care easy and accessible to community members like you. We believe in providing compassionate, quality care from board-certified practitioners you can trust. Whether you have the flu, your child has an ear infection, or your parent needs help managing ongoing pain, we’ve got you covered.

Why Choose Us?

Commitment to community

Many of our providers live right in the Lewiston, Bridgton, Rumford, Topsham and surrounding areas we serve. As your neighbor, we have a personal interest in your well-being and that of our community.

Direct access to leading specialists

If your primary care provider determines you need an evaluation by specialist like a cardiologist or neurologist, they can refer you to one within our integrated health system. This streamlines your treatment, adds convenience and ease to your appointments and ensures you receive the same high-quality care at every step.

Care for the Whole You

Central Maine Healthcare has many primary care providers who are DOs, or Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine. DOs focus on prevention by gaining a deeper understanding of your lifestyle and environment, rather than just treating your symptoms. DOs are trained to promote the body’s natural tendency toward health and self-healing. We practice according to the latest science and use the latest technology. But we also consider options to complement pharmaceuticals and surgery.  We have additional training in Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) and use this tool to help diagnose, treat and prevent illness and injury.  This is form of manual, or hands-on therapy that helps patients with acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions such as neck, back and hip pain to name a few.

Flexible appointments to meet your needs

Most of our providers are accepting new patients and offer extended evening and weekend hours, as well as telehealth services.
