Outpatient, CAPS & Partial Hospitalization Program Psychiatrist

Job Description

Job Description

Our organization is looking for a full-time psychiatrist (1.0 FTE) to become part of our team at MaineHealth Behavioral Health in Biddeford and Springvale, Maine. This role offers a distinctive chance to engage with various levels of care.

The responsibilities of this position include:

• Three days per week dedicated to the Comprehensive Addiction Psychiatry Service (CAPS) and the Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), both situated at our Biddeford Main Street location.
• Two days per week in a combined role providing psychiatric care for the PHP and covering the CAPS Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP).
• One day per week focused exclusively on the CAPS program, conducting IOP intakes, following up with patients, and delivering outpatient care for a limited caseload of CAPS clients.
• Two days per week in outpatient care at either:
• Biddeford Ambulatory Clinic on Springbrook Drive, or
• Springvale Ambulatory Clinic, depending on the provider's preference.

CAPS specializes in treating individuals with substance use disorders alongside co-occurring psychiatric conditions. The services offered include intensive outpatient programming, medication-assisted treatment, and integrated behavioral health strategies within a multidisciplinary team. The CAPS Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) serves as a transitional step-down level of care for those moving from the PHP, facilitating their recovery and ensuring a smooth transition to outpatient treatment.

Located at our Biddeford Main Street site, the PHP serves as a bridge between inpatient and outpatient care, providing an alternative for individuals needing more intensive treatment than standard outpatient visits. The program features two distinct tracks:

• One track aimed at mental health stabilization.
• Another track focused on substance use disorders (SUD) and co-occurring conditions.
• Structured, group-based therapy that emphasizes emotional regulation, cognitive restructuring, and overall wellness.
• Individualized treatment planning with specific tracks and durations of stay.
• A multidisciplinary team comprising psychiatrists, social workers, and nurses.
• A commitment to reducing psychiatric symptoms and preventing the need for inpatient hospitalization.

Our ambulatory clinics in Biddeford (Springbrook Drive) and Springvale are essential parts of our Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) model, ensuring prompt access to comprehensive and coordinated behavioral health services for individuals and families in York County. Both locations provide:

• 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 encompassing CAPS, PHP, and outpatient settings.
• Team-based care model with a multidisciplinary approach.
• Opportunities for teaching, supervision, and academic collaboration with Tufts University School of Medicine.
• Attractive compensation package along with comprehensive benefits.

• 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 is preferred.
• A strong dedication to collaborative, patient-centered care.

Our organization is a leading integrated behavioral healthcare system in Northern New England, primarily serving southern, western, central, and Mid-Coast Maine. We are home to the only nonprofit psychiatric hospital in southern Maine, offering outpatient treatment, crisis services, and five ACT teams. This fully integrated and expanding behavioral healthcare system serves as a regional and national model for addressing serious mental health challenges.
