About Milestone Recovery

The men are on the main campus and women are housed near the North Deering neighborhood. Residential treatment provides a warm environment for residents to pursue educational or vocational opportunities. Milestones women's home is very affordable at a monthly rent of only $595. Transitional housing is also available to the graduates of the residential treatment program. MileStone utilizes evidence-based treatment modalities that include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing (MI), and group therapy.
