The mission of our Recovery Homes is to provide a safe, substance-free, and culturally healing living environment for indigenous people who are ready to transition away from a life of substance use, allowing them to develop meaningful and independent lives.
We serve Indigenous people from the Wabanaki Communities throughout Maine with a history of problematic drug and alcohol use, who are passionate about turning their lives around and are serious about working on their own personal recovery.
