The work of recovery is built on hope. 🌱

Every day at Milestone we see people take courageous first steps toward stability, health, and a new beginning. It is not easy work, but it is life-changing work.

Recovery is possible.
Hope is powerful.
And no one should have to walk this path alone.

Thank you to the community that stands beside us and believes in second chances. 🙏

Unum employees prepared nearly 100 bagged lunches for our neighbors experiencing homelessness, which we’ll distribute through our Emergency Shelter and HOME Team outreach. Even more meaningful, they’ve committed to doing this once a week throughout March.

Acts of kindness like this truly matter. A simple lunch can mean dignity, care, and connection for someone having a difficult day.

Thank you to the team at Unum for stepping up for our community. And if others would like to help in a similar way, we would be so grateful. 💙🥪

“Milestone saved my life.”

We hear those words more often than you might think. And we never take them lightly.

Since 1967, Milestone Recovery has been here for people facing homelessness, addiction, and crisis. Being trusted with those moments is one of the greatest honors of our work.

This community makes that possible. 🤍💙

💙 National Employee Appreciation Day

To our incredible Milestone team: thank you.

Thank you for showing up on hard days. For meeting people with compassion. For walking alongside our neighbors as they move from crisis toward recovery.

As a recovery-friendly workplace, many of our staff bring lived experience to this work. That makes Milestone more than a workplace. It makes it a community built on hope, resilience, and second chances.

Because of you, people find safety, dignity, and the belief that change is possible.

We are deeply grateful for each of you. 🙏

The opioid crisis has touched every corner of Maine.

Milestone Recovery will be there.

This annual event includes:
• Live music from national artists
• Community awards honoring recovery champions

It’s free and open to all.

Recovery is possible. Healing happens in community. Join us. 🤍

You don’t have to have everything figured out to start detox.

You give us a call.
We do a screening.
If medically necessary, you come in.

That’s it.

Recovery doesn’t require perfection.
It requires one brave step.

If you see a HOME Team worker talking with someone outside, it might look like a quick check-in 🤝
But that moment can be the start of a safety plan, a referral, a ride to services 🚐, or the first honest conversation about recovery in a long time.
This is what your support makes possible 🙏

Milestone Recovery is proud to be part of Project HOPE and to work alongside the City of Portland, Commonspace, and Preble Street to support neighbors moving from unsheltered homelessness to housing. Special shoutout to our HOPE team member, Autumn, for the care and dedication she brings to this work every day.

Please join us in celebrating a major milestone: Project HOPE has officially reached 71 housing placements! 🎉 🏘️

Project HOPE (Housing Opportunities for People Living in Encampments) is a dedicated interagency team featuring housing navigators from Commonspace, Milestone Recovery, and Preble Street. Together, we focus on supporting neighbors experiencing unsheltered homelessness by increasing community supports and stabilization—leading to permanent, safe housing and long-term success.

Want to help us reach our next milestone? We are hiring Human Service Counselors to join our team! 👉 If you’re passionate about making a direct impact in our community, visit our job portal to learn more and apply today: https://bit.ly/3NXWcBd.

At Milestone Recovery, we see it every day. Emergency shelters are a critical safety net and a front door to recovery, stabilization, and housing.

Tomorrow (Tuesday, February 10 at 1:00 PM), we will be in Augusta to advocate for LD 2124, which would provide sustainable, ongoing funding for Maine’s emergency shelters.

If you believe every Mainer deserves a safe place to turn, please submit testimony or testify online or in person.

Cross Building, Room 206 (Augusta)
Ask the Committee to vote “Ought to pass.”

Shelter is more than a bed for the night. Research highlights real community benefits like fewer emergency room visits, fewer evening crimes, and most importantly, lives saved. We are proud to be part of the safety net that keeps people alive while long-term solutions are built. read more: https://www.sciotoanalysis.com/news/2025/10/23/what-is-the-impact-of-homeless-shelters
