Did you know Breaking the Cycle is a program designed for women, by women?

Founded by women in recovery, we understand this journey firsthand. Many of our team members have completed the program themselves, creating a support system grounded in real experience.

Our family-oriented, person-centered services help women address mental health, addiction-related issues, trauma, and family reunification. Every participant receives a comprehensive evaluation to identify their individual needs, goals, and aspirations—so we can support healing in every part of life, from housing to legal assistance.

The Board of Directors of Breaking the Cycle is pleased to announce two very exciting changes happening within our organization.

1. Breaking the Cycle is now fully licensed by the State of Maine as a residential treatment center. This change now enables us to bill MaineCare for all the services that we provide to our residents. This transition marks a new day for our organization - instead of just being a sober house with two employees, we will now be able to hire an entire team, including both clinicians and direct support workers who can staff our program around the clock. If you know anybody who might like to work with us, please send them our way. We’d love to meet them!

2. Danni Stengel will be spearheading this new chapter for us as our new Executive Director. Danni has worked as Breaking the Cycle’s Administrative Director since our organization launched in 2020. She’s a competent community leader, a person in longterm recovery, and a fierce advocate for low barrier public health services serving women in Maine with substance use disorder and trauma.

We can’t wait to see what good things the future will bring for Breaking the Cycle and our whole community here in Penobscot County!

We look forward to hearing from you!
