Lifeline for ME Recovery House Manager

The mission of Lifeline for ME Recovery is to bring recovery, re-entry centers and housing to rural Maine. The goal is to allow individuals on all paths to recovery, affected by addiction, mental illness, poverty, and/or incarceration, to recreate their lives with dignity, actively and meaningfully participate in their communities, and have opportunities for stability and improved quality of their lives.

Our vision is that one day, all individuals in all counties of Maine, regardless of the challenges they may have encountered in their lives and the barriers they need to overcome, have safe, stable housing, and access to quality community resources and social support. The Summit House is located in Farmington, Maine and is our six-bed men’s MARR-certified, Level 2 recovery residence. We are the first and only recovery residence in all of Franklin County.

Farmington is the county seat, population approximately 7,600, in rural Maine, and the location of the University of Maine at Farmington and Titcomb Mountain, our local ski resort. It’s about 50 minutes away from Sugarloaf Mountain and known to be the location where earmuffs were invented!
