About Milestone Recovery Detox Portland
Located just off Congress Street near I-295 and minutes from downtown Portland, Milestone Recovery’s Andover Road facility offers Maine’s only nonprofit medical detox program and a newly added outpatient program. These services support adults of any gender through the early stages of recovery from alcohol, opioids, and other substances—regardless of insurance or ability to pay.
Stabilize with 24-Hour Guidance
Care begins with a 3-7 day medically monitored detox, supported by 24-hour nursing and a supervising physician to ensure safety and comfort. Clients also participate in individual and group counseling, working with licensed substance use professionals and peer navigators to prepare for their next steps in care. Treatment is trauma-informed and focused on long-term recovery.
Move Forward Without Disruption
The new 30-bed facility features double-occupancy rooms, expanded nursing space, and dedicated therapy areas. Co-located outpatient services allow for a seamless transition from detox to continued support. The program emphasizes dignity, compassion, and equity while helping individuals move toward health, stability, and connection.

Care Options
Treatment
Specializations
Alcohol
Using alcohol as a coping mechanism, or drinking excessively throughout the week, signals an alcohol use disorder.
Chronic Relapse
Consistent relapse occurs repeatedly, after partial recovery from addiction. This condition requires long-term treatment.
Drug Addiction
Drug addiction is the excessive and repetitive use of substances, despite harmful consequences to a person's life, health, and relationships.
Opioids
Opioids produce pain-relief and euphoria, which can lead to addiction. This class of drugs includes prescribed medication and the illegal drug heroin.
Approaches
Evidence-Based
A combination of scientifically rooted therapies and treatments make up evidence-based care, defined by their measured and proven results.
Medical
Medical addiction treatment uses approved medications to manage withdrawals and cravings, and to treat contributing mental health conditions.
Therapies
1-on-1 Counseling
Patient and therapist meet 1-on-1 to work through difficult emotions and behavioral challenges in a personal, private setting.
Trauma-Specific Therapy
This form of talk therapy addresses any childhood trauma at the root of a patient's current diagnosis.
Life Skills
Teaching life skills like cooking, cleaning, clear communication, and even basic math provides a strong foundation for continued recovery.
Medication-Assisted Treatment
Combined with behavioral therapy, prescribed medications can enhance treatment by relieving withdrawal symptoms and focus patients on their recovery.
Motivational Interviewing
Based on the idea that motivation to change comes from within, providers use a conversational framework to discover personalized methods for change.
Psychoeducation
This method combines treatment with education, teaching patients about different paths toward recovery. This empowers them to make more effective decisions.
Relapse Prevention Counseling

Substances We Treat

Heroin

Methamphetamine
Methamphetamine, or meth, increases energy, agitation, and paranoia. Long-term use can result in severe physical and mental health issues.
Opioids

Prescription Drugs
It's possible to abuse any drug, even prescribed ones. If you crave a medication, or regularly take it more than directed, you may have an addiction.
