My experience with Brighter Heights was fantastic! Provided great information and quick turnaround time for evaluations! Friendly and professional staff!
Of all the people I have interacted with here and all the services I have received through them, I have been treated respectfully and with dignity. My knees have been met and I have zero complaints with how well the staff here does. They are a benefit to the community.
I am back attending the opiate addiction program at Bangor Comprehensive Treatment Center...got hooked again because of a herniated disc injury in my back, that was super-painful. Anyway, I think that the program is better now than it was when I attended a few years ago. My counselor back then was a really good guy and my current counselor now is even better. Absolutely love going there and love all the people that work there from the director down to the janitor...they are all great people that have a great program that I credit with saving my life. If you need help quitting opiates and want a medically assisted program, Bangor CTC is MOST DEFINITELY right up your alley!!
