Groups Recover Together

About Groups Recover Together

Groups Recover Together in Sanford, Maine, is part of a national outpatient network that has treated opioid use disorder since 2014 by pairing Suboxone with weekly group therapy. Their approach is judgment-free and built around the whole person. They aim to get people started quickly, often within one business day, rather than leaving them on a waitlist for weeks. Care is available in person at local offices or virtually through the Groups app, and they accept most commercial insurance plans, Medicaid, and Medicare, with discounted self-pay options for people without coverage.

Treatment begins with a virtual intake, first with a licensed counselor or recovery consultant who reviews your health history and then with a physician who sets a medication dose to control cravings. Alongside Suboxone, providers can prescribe comfort medications for withdrawal symptoms, and in some states they offer a long-acting injectable option. The core time commitment is a one-hour weekly group led by a licensed counselor, with evening, weekend, and online sessions available, plus weekly confidential urine screens that are used to guide care rather than to penalize members. Staff also help members with practical needs such as applying for insurance, finding housing or work, and accessing food and transportation, which supports stability beyond medication.
