Outpatient, CAPS & Partial Hospitalization Program Psychiatrist

Maine Health Behavioral Health – Biddeford & Springvale, Maine

Maine Health Behavioral Health (MHBH) is seeking a full-time (1.0 FTE) psychiatrist to join our team with a unique opportunity to work across multiple levels of care. The position includes:

• 3 days per week dedicated to Comprehensive Addiction Psychiatry Service (CAPS) and Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), both located at our Biddeford Main Street site:
  • 2 days per week in a combination role providing psychiatric care for the PHP and coverage for the CAPS Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP).
  • 1 day per week solely in the CAPS program, performing IOP intakes, patient follow-up, and outpatient care for a small caseload of CAPS clients.
• 2 days per week in outpatient care at either:
  • Biddeford Ambulatory Clinic at Springbrook Drive, or
  • Springvale Ambulatory Clinic, based on provider preference.

CAPS provides specialized care for individuals with substance use disorders and co‑occurring psychiatric conditions. Services include intensive outpatient programming, medication‑assisted treatment, and integrated behavioral health approaches within a multidisciplinary team. The CAPS Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is an in‑person program that functions as a step‑down level of care for individuals transitioning from the PHP program, supporting their recovery and ensuring continuity of care through a structured transition toward outpatient treatment.

Located at our Biddeford Main Street site, the PHP bridges the gap between inpatient and outpatient care, offering an alternative to hospitalization for individuals who require more intensive treatment than traditional outpatient visits. The program provides two distinct tracks:

• One focused on mental health stabilization
• Another dedicated to substance use disorders (SUD) and co‑occurring conditions
• Structured, group‑based therapy focused on emotional regulation, cognitive restructuring, and wellness
• Individualized treatment planning with specific tracks and lengths of stay
• A multidisciplinary team including psychiatrists, social workers, and nurses
• A focus on reducing psychiatric symptoms and preventing inpatient hospitalization

Our ambulatory clinics at Biddeford (Springbrook Drive) and Springvale are key components of our Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) model, ensuring timely access to comprehensive, coordinated behavioral health services for individuals and families in York County. Both sites offer:

• Outpatient psychiatry and medication management
• Individual and family therapy
• Specialized treatment for substance use disorders and co‑occurring conditions
• Case management and care coordination
• Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) team services
• Trauma‑informed, recovery‑oriented approaches
• Telehealth and hybrid care options

• Full‑time, hybrid role across CAPS, PHP, and outpatient settings
• Multidisciplinary, team‑based care model
• Opportunities for teaching, supervision, and academic affiliation through Tufts University School of Medicine
• Competitive compensation and full benefits package

Qualifications:

• MD or DO with board certification or eligibility in Psychiatry
• Licensed or eligible for licensure in the state of Maine
• Experience or interest in addiction psychiatry, partial hospitalization, and integrated care preferred
