HOULTON, Maine — Aroostook Mental Health Center has welcomed Mark Nelson back to its Houlton Outpatient Substance Abuse Team.
Nelson will join Tracey Tarr in the delivery of substance abuse services out of AMHC’s Houlton office located at 11 Mill Street.
“Mark brings over 30 years of treatment experience with him and a long history of service in the Houlton area,” said Peter McCorison, program director for behavioral health services. “In the 1980s, Mark worked with individuals such as David Green, George School to increase access to service in the Houlton area.”
From 1987 to 2010 Nelson worked for AMHC providing a variety of service in The County. In 2010, Mark moved to South Dakota where he continued his work gaining additional skills in providing Drug Court Services and Intensive Outpatient (IOP) Services.
In March, Nelson returned to AMHC working at the Farm in Limestone. With Deb Shaw’s planned departure from AMHC, Nelson was able to return to his hometown of Houlton. Shaw had provided excellent community-based service from many year.
Nelson will be working closely with Tracey Tarr to provide individual, group and IOP service at AMHC. In addition, Nelson and Tarr are providing a number of groups at the Aroostook County Jail in collaboration with the Aroostook County Sheriff’s Department.
