Recovery from substance use disorder thrives when people connect with supportive communities. At ENSO Recovery, this principle guides our approach to sober living across Maine, where community integration forms the foundation of lasting recovery.
Building Recovery Through Community Connection
ENSO Recovery operates five recovery residences certified by the Maine Association of Recovery Residences (MARR) in Augusta and Sanford. These gender-specific homes provide more than just shelter – they create micro-communities where residents support each other through shared experiences.
Recovery doesn’t happen in isolation. ENSO’s sober living model intentionally builds recovery capital through meaningful community connections. This approach recognizes that sustainable recovery requires both internal support networks and integration with the broader community.
Unlike traditional treatment settings that separate individuals from their daily lives, ENSO’s community-based approach encourages residents to engage with local resources while maintaining accountability. This dual focus helps residents develop real-world coping skills while strengthening their recovery foundation.
Our Recovery Residences in Maine
The recovery residences in Augusta include a women’s house with 13 beds and a men’s residence with 22 beds. ENSO also offers a two-bedroom apartment reserved for individuals in the fourth phase of treatment. While the apartment itself is not gender-specific, it requires occupants of the same gender at any given time.
In Sanford, gender-specific recovery residences provide similarly supportive environments, located conveniently on Winter Street near our outpatient center. These residences are structured to foster independence while providing essential support during recovery.
All ENSO recovery homes accept individuals on medication-assisted treatment (MAT), reflecting our inclusive philosophy. This approach acknowledges that recovery looks different for everyone while maintaining the community structure that benefits all residents.
Comprehensive Support Beyond Housing
The strategic location of these residences near ENSO’s outpatient centers enables seamless access to comprehensive treatment services. Residents can easily access our full continuum of care, including:
- Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)
- Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
- Outpatient Treatment (OPT)
- Case Management Services
- Mental Health Consulting
This integration of housing with clinical services ensures that residents receive consistent support throughout their recovery journey. Our team of dedicated professionals works closely with residents to develop personalized treatment plans that address their unique needs and goals.
From Supported Living to Community Integration
Community integration extends beyond housing. ENSO residents learn to navigate local resources, build healthy relationships, and contribute positively to their communities. This approach creates natural pathways to independent living while maintaining vital support networks.
When people recover within their communities, they build sustainable support systems that continue long after formal treatment ends. This community-centered approach significantly improves long-term outcomes by preparing individuals for the realities of independent living.
The balance between structure and autonomy is carefully maintained in our recovery residences. Residents benefit from clear guidelines and accountability while also developing the independence necessary for sustained recovery.
