Spurwink opened a Lewiston Crisis Center this week, expanding access to 24/7 behavioral health crisis services for people ages 14 and older.
The center, at 1155 Lisbon St., serves Androscoggin County and surrounding areas.
Services include crisis assessments, medication management, nursing services, peer support and short-term stabilization for people experiencing mental health, substance use or other urgent behavioral needs.
The center offers a voluntary alternative to emergency department visits and other crisis settings. Staff also connect people with ongoing services and recovery support.
“Every person deserves access to compassionate support during times of crisis,” said Eric Meyer, president and CEO of Spurwink. “The Lewiston Crisis Center represents an important investment in our community and will help ensure that individuals and families have access to care when and where they need it most.”
Spurwink received a $3.5 million contract award from the Maine Department of Health and Human Services to support capital costs and ongoing operational costs of the center.
Portland-based Spurwink claimed total revenue of $96.3 million in its most recent tax filing, according to the 2026 Mainebiz Giving Guide, which will be published Sept. 28.
