Foundation House Employee Directory

Foundation House maintains an alcohol and drug-free environment that is safe and secure. The company specializes in relapse prevention while following the basic principles of the 12-step Program of Alcoholics Anonymous. Currently, the company has three houses, a 12 bed facility at 40 Deering Street, a 13 bed facility at 42 Mellen Street and another... 29 bed facility at 235 State St. All three houses are located in the heart of downtown Portland, Maine. Foundation House is an extended care program that transitions into sober living as the company's residents progress through the process of early recovery. There are specific standards in place which serve to protect the safety of the house as a whole, and the integrity of each individual resident who lives there. Foundation House is not a "treatment rehab", nor is it a "program". It is a peer-to-peer supportive living facility where the company manages "the process" of staying sober, not the individual. Foundation House homes emphasize structure, accountabilty, and independence. Pardon the pun, but the company set the bar particularly high when it comes to establishing a culture of highly dignified recovery and long term sobriety. Foundation House sleeping arrangements feature single and double occupancy rooms. In this family style living, residents share common dining, family, and living rooms. Residents cook for themselves and share in house chores. Various peer stages are realized as each resident continues to progress through the first 3 months of his stay at Foundation House.Read More
