Mental Health Residential Facilities for Youth and Young Adults

In keeping with our goal of creating opportunities and transforming the lives of Maine's children and families, we create homes through our residential treatment programs and support communities through our family-focused services.

  • Young Parent Program Transitional Housing — Transitional housing is open to people ages 22 and under who are currently homeless.
  • Edgewood — A 6 bed, co-ed facility providing comprehensive integrated mental health and substance abuse treatment services to youth ages 16-21.
  • MaineStay — 12-bed transitional living program for homeless young adults, ages 18-25 with serious emotional disorders or mental illness.

Foster Care Programs

In addition to our residences, we also offer safe havens to vulnerable youth in our Treatment Foster Care homes.

  • Treatment Foster Care — foster family placement that creates safe, loving homes for children who have been removed from their homes because of abuse or neglect.
  • Multidimensional Treatment Foster Care — a brief yet effective 6 to 12 month placement for teens looking to get their lives back on track; learning social/emotional skills and effective problem solving.
