The Alliance is a statewide association of community behavioral health providers working to ensure Mainers have access to the full continuum of recovery-oriented care—from prevention to treatment. The Alliance for Addiction and Mental Health Services, Maine (the Alliance) is a non-profit membership organization that advocates for the collective interests of behavioral health services at the federal , state and local level. The Alliance analyzes trends in the delivery and financing of behavioral health services, building and sharing knowledge and experience reflecting the integration of behavioral health and an evolving healthcare environment. We identify behavioral health policy issues, research findings and best practices in the delivery of services, foster collaboration, provide consultation and technical assistance, and promote effective fiscal and management practices. The Alliance develops, in partnership with recipients of services, local and state agencies, policy makers, and other collaborative partners, opportunities for an improved quality of life, choice, meaningful employment, stable affordable housing integrated into the community, recovery and remission from illness, active participation in community life, and rewarding social interaction with others. The Alliance represents and advocates for the continuum of addiction and mental health services throughout Maine, from prevention through treatment to recovery.
