CALAIS, ME - U.S. Senator Susan Collins visited Aroostook Mental Health Service's (AMHC) newly renovated Adult Crisis Stabilization Unit in Calais yesterday. The unit provides 24/7 short-term residential crisis care, safety planning, and mental health stabilization.

In 2024, Senator Collins secured $4.3 million in Congressionally Directed Spending to support improvements at the facility, including a new four-season sensory space for children, as well as a soon-to-be-completed children's residential unit.

"These improvements, combined with AMHC's expert and compassionate staff, will help individuals and families in Washington County during their time of need," said Senator Collins. "That is why I worked hard to secure $4.3 million in federal funding to support these renovations and expand the availability of behavioral health services for children and adults at this location."

AMHC has provided mental health, crisis, substance use treatment, and other behavioral health services to communities in northern and eastern Maine for more than 60 years.
