TOMORROW

Today could be the day to change your life!
Reach out if you need support ❤️❤️

UPDATED ON 9/20/24 at 9:55AM

Every morning, we update this post with the number of detox beds available in the State of Maine and their location. The bed count provided in our posts are a snapshot of a point in time during the day, and that can change rapidly throughout the course of the day. Reach out if you need help figuring it out! 👇

AHMC: 2 Beds - Next available admission day is 10/11/24
Wellspring: 3 Beds - 2 admissions scheduled
Pinetree Recovery: 1
Milestone Recovery: 1 Bed - 1 admission scheduled (ONLY accepting MaineCare & Uninsured)
Wabanaki Public Health & Wellness:

If you have challenges accessing a bed, please provide us with a tip by filling out this Google Form at tinyurl.com/MEDetoxFeedback. An organizer will be in touch if you choose to provide your contact information.

----- More Information -----

While information on open bed availability will be posted, admission to a specific treatment bed is managed by each program. After contacting an agency, they will conduct an intake assessment to determine whether or not the individual meets the criteria for admission to their program.

It is important to note that daily open counts do not always reflect the number of beds available for admission that day. As a hypothetical example, an agency may have 6 open beds but only have the capacity to complete 3 admissions for that day. We encourage folks to reach out directly to treatment providers for scheduling admissions.

This morning's shout out is to our girl KelyJo.
Kelly's supervisor would describe her as a go-getter, a rock in a particularly high tide kind of day. Kellyjo stays steadfast in her work and supports her team and participants every opportunity she gets. Kellyjo has a sly sense of humor that often presents at JUST the right moment. We are grateful to have her on our team 💘
