Milestone Recovery

About Milestone Recovery

Milestone Recovery is located just inland from Casco Bay in Portland, Maine, a working waterfront city where ocean air and tight knit neighborhoods are part of daily life. The facility has been part of the community since 1967, supporting the same mission, even as the city around it has changed.

A Front Line Detox Center

The medically monitored detox program is often the first stop for people needing immediate help with alcohol or drug withdrawal. Clients have access to 24 hour nursing, a supervising physician and counselors who help plan next steps rather than just sending you back to your familiar routine.

More Than Just Substance Treatment

Milestone is unique because addiction treatment is just a part of what they do. Other services include residential rehab, recovery housing and an emergency shelter. These teams all work together to support unhoused individuals and those with mental health challenges.

At Milestone, payment is not a barrier to help. They accept Medicaid, Medicare and offer free or low cost care based on need. If you’re looking for a Portland based addiction treatment center that feels compassionate and practical, Milestone might be worth checking out.
