Required next actionTreat Crossroads for Women as the incumbent. Before any additional-provider outreach, verify current W&Q availability, ASAM Level 3.5 residential capability, licensing, qualified practitioner staffing, MaineCare participation, OBH/DHHS contracting status, funding availability, and all CRM/Atlas_Email_Queue/send-history controls.

Broad Eligibility

Providers must be licensed to deliver the service, employ qualified licensed practitioners, participate in MaineCare for the service, and maintain the required OBH/DHHS contracting relationship. The service is 24/7/365 ASAM Level 3.5 residential SUD treatment for adult women and must accommodate mothers with children newborn through age five.

Atlas Analysis

Atlas Opportunity Score: 83/100 because the pathway supports intensive behavioral-health treatment, women with SUD, and mothers with young children. N9+ Fit Score: 3/100 because the controlling PJF does not establish telehealth, remote diagnostic equipment, or N9+ cost allowability. Dr. Miltie direct-prime fit: 0/100 because the licensed residential SUD treatment and MaineCare/OBH provider requirements are not established.

Opportunity Overview

Maine DHHS, Office of Behavioral Health, maintains an active Willing & Qualified contracting pathway for Women’s Residential substance use disorder treatment. The current agreement period runs from July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2027.

Service Scope

The controlling PJF describes 24/7/365 residential treatment for approximately 160 women per year, age 18 and older, who have a primary SUD diagnosis and meet ASAM Level 3.5 criteria. Services must also accommodate women with children from newborn through age five.

Current Funding and Provider

The current agreement is $1,092,108.00 with Crossroads for Women, Inc. of Scarborough, Maine. The State identifies SAPT Block Grant and state dedicated/matching resources as funding sources supporting nonprofit agencies able to deliver evidence-based treatment in Maine.

Eligibility and Qualification Requirements

Providers must be appropriately licensed for the service, employ qualified licensed practitioners, participate in MaineCare for the service, and have an OBH/DHHS contract. Rates are standardized to the MaineCare Benefits Manual, Chapter III, Section 97 Appendix B residential rate structure. Maine states that it does not intend to competitively procure this W&Q service.

Atlas Relevance

This is a high-relevance behavioral-health and maternal/family-support pathway because it funds residential SUD care for women, including mothers with young children. The current PJF does not establish telehealth infrastructure, remote diagnostic equipment, or N9+ costs as allowable, and the licensed residential-treatment model does not support a direct-prime Dr. Miltie path.

Next Action

Treat Crossroads for Women as the incumbent for this exact agreement. Before considering any additional provider, verify current W&Q availability, ASAM Level 3.5 residential capability, nonprofit and licensing requirements, MaineCare participation, OBH/DHHS contracting status, funding availability, and all CRM and Atlas_Email_Queue deduplication/send gates.
