About MaineStay – Portland, Maine

MaineStay in Portland, Maine, is an eight-bed residential facility for young people aged 16 to 21. Here youth who are grappling with homelessness, addiction and mental illness can receive various recovery support services. The facility is a program of The Opportunity Alliance which is a dynamic assemblage of 50 organizations that serves more than 20,000 Mainers every year, including children, teens and adults.

Addiction is a complex illness that often requires multiple forms of short and long term treatment. Clients may come to MaineStay after completing another alcohol or drug rehab program such as inpatient or residential treatment that is offered by the Opportunity Council or another provider.

This facility offers a comfortable, safe and home like environment that bridges the gap between more intensive treatment and outpatient care. Notably the Opportunity Council continues to support young people after they’ve left the MaineStay residence regardless of whether they’ve completed the treatment program.

MaineStay staff understand that when people have trouble meeting their basic practical, emotional and social needs, they are much more vulnerable to relapse and other harms. By providing housing, food, health care and community they work to enable clients to feel secure and empowered so they can focus on building a solid foundation for their future.

Additionally the Opportunity Alliance provides a broad spectrum of services to support youth in other areas of their life. For example their Detention Response Program helps guide young people who have been involved with the juvenile justice system, while their parenting education and young parent programs equip those with children with the tools needed to raise a healthy family.
