Our Mission

Why We Started Coastal

"Coastal was created from a shared passion for supporting individuals navigating recovery and removing barriers to treatment. Both of our paths into this work are personal, and that perspective continues to shape the way we approach recovery — with compassion, understanding, and respect for every person’s journey. We believe treatment saves lives, and we are proud to be building a program dedicated to supporting individuals and families throughout the recovery process here in Maine."

Core Values

What Guides Our Work

We believe recovery care should feel both structured and human. Our approach combines evidence-based treatment, trauma-informed care, and real-world support designed to help people rebuild stability, confidence, and long-term growth.

Trauma-Informed by Design
We create environments that prioritize emotional safety, trust, and respect — recognizing how past experiences can shape the recovery process.
Evidence-Based, Person-Centered
Our clinical approach is grounded in proven treatment methods while remaining individualized to each person’s needs, goals, and experiences.
Accountability With Support
Healing requires both structure and compassion. We help individuals build consistency, resilience, and responsibility without shame or judgment.
Recovery That Fits Real Life
We understand recovery exists alongside work, relationships, parenting, mental health, and everyday responsibilities — not separate from them.
