Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
Community Project Funding/Congressionally Directed Spending - Construction - Address: 176 Academy Street, Presque Isle, ME 04769.
Program Director: Christy Daggett.
Contact Phone Numbers: 207-554-2352.
Email Address: cdaggett@amhc.org.
Website Address: www.amhc.org.
Program Funds: HRSA CDS.
Aroostook Mental Health Services, Inc. (AMHC) will use the $1,000,000 HRSA CDS funds to replace and expand the existing residential treatment facility which has 12 beds, limited handicap accessibility, and no opportunity for expansion.
AMHC purchased a building at 176 Academy Street in Presque Isle, Maine for the purpose of renovating it into a 16-bed residential treatment facility (RTF). By expanding, AMHC will increase its capacity to support individuals with substance use disorder by 25%.
The basement will remain utility and staff support space. The main floor will include intake space, ADA bedrooms and restrooms, a kitchen, and living room. The second floor will serve as the bedroom and staff support spaces. The facility will require the installation of a full sprinkler, heating, and fire alarm systems. An exterior fire exit stair tower will be constructed to provide a secondary means of egress from the second-floor residential space.
AMHC offers only one of two residential treatment facilities in the state of Maine. The need for more treatment was confirmed through a 2020 HRSA RCORP-Planning Grant that allowed AMHC and its consortium members to develop a needs assessment which included the following: Aroostook EMS saw a 30% increase in overdose rates from 2019 to 2020; Sheriff Shawn Gillen shares that 90% of arrests are drug-related; our hospital emergency departments report a regular influx of individuals looking for help with treatment. This taxes our already overwhelmed public health and law enforcement systems.
By increasing access to less costly treatment options that support long-term recovery, we reduce the morbidity and mortality of SUD and decrease the taxpayer burden on public services that only offer short-term solutions.
