Somerset Public Health provides patient navigator services for substance use disorder

SKOWHEGAN — Somerset Public Health, a department of Redington-Fairview General Hospital, is now providing direct one-to-one support for people ready to get help for drug use. Cynthia Currier, the substance use patient navigator, is available to help people thinking about their own drug use and ready to make a change, or people concerned for a loved one who uses drugs.
Currier will connect you to services and resources for a healthier life. There is no judgment, no payment and no application process. By speaking with her, she can connect you to supports like mental health care, a doctor, counselors, information, a recovery coach, a job and basic needs like housing, clothing, food assistance and transportation.
For people looking for same-day care for drug use treatment, Currier suggests reaching out to the RFGH Bridge Clinic. For daytime help between Monday and Friday, call the Bridge Clinic at 207-474-6939 to get an appointment. For after-hours help or help on the weekend, go to the RFGH Emergency Department and simply say “I’m here to get help with substance use” or “I’m here to stop using a substance (drug).”
No matter how you access the Bridge Clinic, you will be seen by a group a caring people in a warm and inviting environment as you begin your pathway to recovery.
