Recovery is often pictured as one big breakthrough.

More often, it is a series of ordinary, courageous decisions: answer the phone, accept the bed, stay one more day, try again tomorrow.

This Recovery Month, we honor every one of those decisions and every person making them. There is no perfect timeline and no such thing as being beyond hope.

We are here for the next step. 💜

Recovery takes more than stopping substance use. It takes time to build a life that can sustain recovery.

Milestone’s Extended Care program in Old Orchard Beach gives men the time, structure and support to strengthen coping skills, rebuild healthy routines and practice recovery in everyday life. That longer period of care can create a stronger foundation for lasting outcomes.

Behind this excellent program is the dedicated team pictured here. They bring skill, accountability, compassion and hope to the work every day.

We are proud of this program, proud of its team and proud of every person doing the hard work of building a new life. 💙

This is 10 Andover Road, home to two important parts of Milestone’s continuum of care: medically monitored detox and our 30-day residential treatment program.

Detox is a brave first step. For many people, completing it creates an opportunity to make another courageous choice: continuing treatment and building a stronger foundation for recovery.

Having both programs in the same building can make that transition easier, reduce disruption and help the next step feel possible.

If you or someone you care about needs help, visit [www.milestone-recovery.org](http://www.milestone-recovery.org) for step-by-step instructions on accessing our recovery services. 💙

This is Scott, one of the kind faces you’ll see around Milestone and the person behind many of the meals served here. 💙

Scott knows our programs from personal experience. Today, that lived experience informs the kindness, understanding and dedication he brings to his work. He is a powerful example of what success can look like: moving forward, finding purpose and choosing to serve others.

A warm meal offers more than nourishment. It can provide comfort, dignity and a reminder that someone cares. Scott puts that care into every plate.

We are proud that he chose to become part of Milestone’s mission. Recovery can grow into service, and Scott shows us what that looks like every day.

Meet Carrie, a Milestone housing navigator with Project HOPE and a true force for good. 💪💙

Project HOPE helps people living in Portland’s encampments navigate the complicated path to stable housing. Funded by MaineHousing and the City of Portland, the program brings together housing navigators from commonspace, Milestone Recovery and Preble Street.

Carrie brings persistence, compassion and plenty of energy to that partnership. On any given day, you might find her solving problems, removing barriers or even helping with a moving truck!

We’re proud to have Carrie representing Milestone and helping people move toward home, one step at a time. 🏠

“On This Spot, Every Day More People Than You Know Get Sober.”

These words are set in brick outside Milestone’s shelter, but they represent something very much alive inside.

Since 1967, people have come through our doors during some of the hardest moments of their lives. They have found safety, care and the opportunity to begin again.

Recovery does not always happen loudly. Sometimes it begins with one safe night, one honest conversation or one brave decision to keep going.

People do get better. Hope lives here. 💙

👋 Wave hello to Dr. Neil!

As a volunteer from MaineHealth, Dr. Neil regularly rides alongside Milestone’s HOME Team, bringing medical knowledge and compassionate support directly to people experiencing homelessness.

We’re grateful for his willingness to show up, lend his expertise and help our neighbors connect with the care they need. If you see Dr. Neil out with the team, be sure to give him a wave! 👋

Earlier this week, we shared a few of the faces behind Milestone’s mission. Today, we’re sharing a few more.

Our team works across many different roles, but they are connected by the same purpose: helping people find safety, support, treatment, housing, and hope.

This work is not easy. It takes patience, skill, compassion, and a steady belief in people, often during some of the hardest moments of their lives.

We are grateful for the incredible staff who carry this mission forward every day, and proud to keep introducing you to the people behind the work. ❤

A working phone can be the difference between getting help and missing it. It connects people to treatment, employment, housing, healthcare, and the support needed to build a sober, independent life.

Maine Needs helps Milestone remove this very real barrier for the people we serve. If you have an unused phone, please consider donating it by following the steps below. This is an important and practical way to help.
