Alternative Wellness Services

Alternative Wellness Services is a behavioral health agency offering outpatient therapy for adults and children, case management through the Behavioral Health Home program, substance use support, and the DEEP driver education and evaluation program for people with OUI or motor vehicle incidents tied to alcohol or other drug use. Its stated approach is strengths-based and culturally sensitive, with an emphasis on education tools and connecting clients to community resources.

Services are offered both by telehealth and in person. Clients can request a referral or get help through the agency's referral line, and the site notes that insurance can be verified before starting care. The main office is on Alfred Street in Biddeford, with clinical offices there and in Portland. Medical records requests are handled by a part-time clerk, usually within 30 days, and patients with a portal account can print their records for free.
