Groups Recover Together

About Groups Recover Together

Groups Recover Together in Farmington, Maine, is part of Groups, a national outpatient program focused on treating opioid use disorder with a mix of medication, counseling, and community support. Since launching in 2014, they have built a judgment-free model that meets people where they are, and they have a reputation for getting new members started quickly, often with a Suboxone prescription in as little as one business day. Care is available in person at local offices or virtually through the Groups app, and they accept most commercial insurance, Medicaid, and Medicare, with discounted self-pay options for people without coverage.

Treatment centers on medication for opioid use disorder, mainly Suboxone, along with comfort medications to ease withdrawal when needed. Members attend a weekly one-hour group therapy session led by a licensed counselor, and evening, weekend, and virtual times make it easier to fit around work and family. Weekly urine screens are part of the program, but a positive result is treated as a reason to adjust support rather than a cause for punishment. Beyond clinical care, staff help members with practical needs such as health insurance applications, housing, employment, food, and transportation.
