Breaking The Cycle

A supportive recovery home helping adult women rebuild life from substance use, Breaking the Cycle is a nonprofit residential treatment program in Millinocket, Maine, offering long-term care for adult women seeking safety, healing, and lasting recovery. Set in a home-based environment with 24-hours staff presence and licensed clinical oversight, the program offers long-term residential care rather than quick fixes. Women are given space to slow down, establish daily routines, and focus on recovery while staying connected to community resources and planning for independent living.

Supportive Treatment Approach

Care combines licensed clinical services with recovery-based support rooted in 12-step principles. Women work closely with clinicians and the medical director while participating in group support, recovery planning, and community meetings. This approach helps residents build coping skills, understand patterns connected to substance use, and strengthen personal responsibility. The focus is on steady progress, emotional balance, and learning how to face challenges without relying on substances.

A Stable Home that Encourages Growth

Residents live together in a sober home designed to feel safe, structured, and supportive. Staff are available at all times to help with recovery needs and everyday responsibilities. Over time, women are encouraged to build independence while staying accountable. Family involvement is welcomed through approved visits, including time with children when appropriate. Insurance is accepted, including MaineCare for eligible services, helping reduce financial stress while women focus on healing and growth.
