Milestone Recovery
About Milestone Recovery
Adults of any gender who are residents of Maine, including people who have no insurance, can be admitted at Milestone Recovery, a detox center in Portland. The center doesn’t offer an outpatient program or an adolescent program. Outreach and an emergency shelter sit alongside detox, and staff include people who have been in recovery.
How long is detox in Portland?
Milestone runs a 3 to 7 day program of medically supervised withdrawal management (care that watches your body while use stops). Admissions run from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Where can care go after detox?
Milestone offers a 30 day residential program in Portland, and it’s for adults of all genders. A men’s program is in Old Orchard Beach, not Portland. If residential care follows, you live at the program for the first weeks of treatment.
People aren’t refused care because they cannot pay. For more than 55 years, the center has served Maine residents who have a substance use disorder and are experiencing homelessness.

Inpatient and residential programs provide round-the-clock medical and emotional support as you live at the treatment facility. This level of care may be recommended if you have severe addictions or mental health conditions since it removes outside distractions and allows you to focus solely on therapy. |
In outpatient therapy, you’ll attend therapy sessions several times each week while living at home. This is ideal if you have a strong support system and a lower risk of relapse. Outpatient treatment offers flexibility to maintain work, school or family obligations. |

Inpatient detox occurs in a dedicated treatment facility. You’ll live there around the clock and receive intensive medical support and supervision to help manage your withdrawal symptoms. It is suitable for individuals with moderate to severe addictions as it ensures a stable detox environment. |
Outpatient detox gives you access to medically supervised withdrawal services while still allowing you to live at home. You’ll attend a clinic for treatment and monitoring. This flexible option is suitable for those with mild to moderate withdrawal symptoms who have strong support systems. |
