Courage Center

Located at the heart of Gorham village, Courage Center operates a 12-week holistic SUD treatment program for people of all genders in recovery from substance use disorder, operating across four residential buildings and an outpatient counseling and medical center where clinical programming is offered 9:30-12:30pm M-F.

Courage Center's mission to provide a safe and supportive environment where residents can transition away from addiction and incarceration and grow toward developing a meaningful and productive life.

Courage Center is a secular, MAT-friendly, professionally-supported, and participant-led program.

All of Courage Center's clinical services (IOP, counseling, medical) are reimburable through MaineCare. Please contact us to find out how much we are currently charging to live in one of our four recovery residences. For those in need, special payment plans and charitable assistance may be available.
