Ready for a fresh start? 🌱
Milestone Recovery’s 30-day residential program has a short waitlist right now and can be an incredible chance to reset, regroup, and focus on recovery.

You don’t necessarily need detox first, unless it’s medically necessary. ✅
Getting started is simple: fill out a referral form + complete a quick screening.

✨ You could be on your way to recovery by this time next week.
If you’ve been thinking about it, let this be your sign. You deserve support, not more waiting. 💛

📞 Call us to get started or ask questions. You’re not alone. 🤝 207-775-4790 ext. 339 www.milestone-recovery.org

Did you know Milestone offers extended residential care for men in Old Orchard Beach as part of our full continuum of care?

Extended care is designed for adults who need more time, structure, and support to build a stable recovery. For many people, that additional time and consistency can be the difference between simply getting through today and truly rebuilding a life.

To learn more about our continuum of care, visit milestone-recovery.org.

Our shelter is full, and the needs are immediate.
If you are looking for a simple, concrete way to help, please consider ordering one item from our Amazon Wishlist. These are the everyday essentials that help people sleep safely, stay warm, and hold onto dignity while they work toward stability and recovery.

Thank you for showing up for our neighbors when it matters most.🙏

We have received some generous support lately, and we are so thankful. Your support keeps our HOME Team out here in the cold, connecting with people who are unsheltered and helping them take the next step toward safety and recovery, whether that is shelter tonight, detox, treatment, or a plan to get housed.
Thank you for being part of that pathway 🌱❤🙏

Hope becomes real when there is a place to go next: from the street to safety, from detox to treatment, from survival to housing.

If you would like to start the year with impact, please consider making a gift to support outreach, shelter, medically monitored withdrawal management, residential treatment, and housing services. www.milestone-recovery.org/donate

As we get closer to a new year, we’re inviting our community to become monthly supporters of Milestone Recovery.

Monthly giving creates steady, reliable support for adults in Southern Maine through our full continuum of care, including street outreach, low-barrier shelter, medically monitored withdrawal management, residential treatment, and housing support. 🌱

Join us for Portland’s Annual Homeless Persons’ Memorial Vigil tonight, Friday, December 19 at 4:30 PM.

Milestone Recovery is grateful to stand with Preble Street and partners in this effort.

Location change: The vigil has been moved to First Parish Portland Unitarian Universalist, 425 Congress Street, Portland.

A candlelight procession will begin at MaineHealth-Preble Street Learning Collaborative (20 Portland Street) at 4:30 PM and proceed to First Parish. You are also welcome to gather inside First Parish starting at 4:30 PM.

Accessibility: For a stair-free entrance, use Freshman Alley (next to First Parish) for the accessible door and elevator.

🎁 This holiday season, you can help write the next recovery story.

Brandon first came to Milestone needing help. Today, he is part of our team, walking alongside others on their own path to recovery. Recovery is possible.

Your year end gift supports the potential of people like Brandon with safe detox, shelter, outreach, and ongoing care.

This is a long post, but it is the kind of long that only happens when a community shows up in a big way. Our hearts are full. Thank you. 🎄❤️🙏

This week, our community showed up in a way that will be felt by every person who walks through our doors.

A huge thank you to our wonderful Milestone Board Members, who came together to help make Christmas dinner possible for our shelter guests, along with My Fathers Hands ( .Waig ). Because of you, we will be serving a warm, hearty meal with ham, roast beef, potatoes, pies, and all the comfort-food fixings that say: you matter, you belong, you are welcome here.

And our online appeal for hand warmers. You all absolutely blew us away. We are sharing a photo of the Amazon boxes because it captures it perfectly. When the cold hits Southern Maine, you made sure our outreach team and our unhoused neighbors have a little more warmth and a little more protection. 📦🧤❄️

We are also deeply grateful to No Bowl Empty Pet Pantry for care packages for our unhoused neighbors’ furry companions, and to Courtney Bass, for an incredible outpouring of generosity: 80 large stockings for unhoused neighbors, 20 gift packages for people newly housed through our housing programs, plus gifts for 50 emergency shelter guests. 🧦🎁🐾

This is what community looks like. This is what compassion looks like. It is a lot to be thankful for, and it is a reminder that none of this happens without you.

From all of us at Milestone Recovery, thank you for helping make the holidays feel a little warmer, a little brighter, and a lot more humane. ❤️🎄

💨😰 “Walking through the snow so others can find a way out.”

It is bitterly cold and windy in southern Maine today, but our HOME Team is still out in the woods and streets looking for people who are sleeping outside. They check on folks, offer rides to shelter and detox, bring basic supplies, and remind people that they have not been forgotten.

This is what real outreach looks like. It is slow, patient, and often unseen. It is also the first step on a path that can lead to safety, recovery, and a home of one’s own.

If you are able, please consider a year end gift to keep the HOME Team on the street and Milestone’s shelter, detox, and housing programs strong through the coldest months of the year. Your support helps someone find a way out of the snow and into safety.

🎄 This holiday season, will you make room in your heart for Milestone?

Our Medical Director, Dr. Rachel Solotaroff, is here with a holiday message and a reminder that for many of our neighbors, “home for the holidays” means shelter, detox, or a cot at Milestone.

Your year end gift helps provide warm beds, compassionate medical care, and a real chance at recovery.
