About Wellspring – Bangor
The Wellspring Men’s Program, also known as the Bangor Halfway House is a drug and alcohol rehabilitation community in Bangor, Maine. They previously served as a traditional halfway house but they’ve recently become a longer-term program to help men with persistent substance use and related mental health disorders.
They can take in 15 men at a time who must be over 18 and substance-free upon admission. You’ll stay at the men’s home for four to six months. Your schedule will be a combination of therapy, education and practicing living skills.
You’ll join a 12 step community and become a regular participant. This is important as it helps you build your own support community that’ll be there for you throughout your recovery. Community connections are vital as you transition back into your community and regular life.
What I appreciate about them is the value they place on family relationships. Your loved ones are encouraged to visit you. As part of recovery, you’ll learn about family roles. Your daily living skills training includes chores such as cooking, cleaning and doing laundry. All these things build your self-confidence and lead to a better way of living.
When it comes to establishing a healthy lifestyle, you’ll find many walking paths and hiking trails along the Penobscot River and the many parks of Bangor. Longer hikes are available in the Bangor City Forest. Not only will you be getting exercise, but you’ll be breathing fresh air and enjoying the wild beauty of nature. This is one sure way to help you fall in love with life again.
