Capturing Our Mission: A Photo Story of An Angels Wing Inc.

---

In late 2021, we started planning our first recovery residence. In January 2022, we opened Cory’s Place, a certified recovery residence in Winthrop, ME, focusing on women who have children in child protective custody through the Department of Health and Human Services. In February 2022, we opened Kristopher’s Home, also located in Winthrop, ME, as a male-certified recovery residence. Currently, we operate at an 80% success rate for our MARR-certified recovery residences. In the spring of 2023, we opened Beth’s Place, an LGBTQ+-friendly certified recovery residence. 2024 brings with it, a structured MARR-certified home for women and children in Mechanic Falls, ME.

We welcome new residents who are committed to living a life of continued sobriety. Applications are accepted through this online portal. We carefully screen each applicant and conduct a telephone screen before approval to ensure a good fit in our homes. 

At An Angel's Wing, we work together in one place. We hope to empower you and weave together to create your meaningful recovery. Nourishing and balancing the whole person towards recovery by healing the mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual self. Taking steps to sobriety, working hard, and remaining committed can go the distance to overcome substance and alcohol use. Committing to treatment and your health generally ensures success in recovery.

BETH'S PLACE LOCATED IN LEWISTON, MAINE

Focused on inclusive housing for all, regardless of orientation. We aim to create a safe, structured, MARR-certified, LGBTQ+-friendly home that brings together a vulnerable population, providing acceptance and essential services for those living with disabilities, substance and alcohol use disorders, HIV/AIDS, and those who identify as LGBTQ+. Our goal is to offer affordable, safe housing, support groups, and essential services, including transportation and recreation, based on a holistic and evidence-based approach. Beth's place is a LGBTQIA-friendly home, and a step-down house for people in long-term recovery (minimum of 45 days). This home is designed for people who have transitioned to a point in their recovery where less structure is needed.

Individuals Impacted: As of June 1st, 2024, there were 2573 children in protective custody in Maine, marking a 20-year high of children being taken from their homes and families. Cory's Place creates a well-being system that prevents abuse and neglect and ensures every child grows up safely in their own family whenever possible. A safe and supportive recovery home can enhance the safety of children who have come to the attention of child protective services by assisting their families with evidence-based and promising practices. The Home offers a team-based approach. Working with the resident's team of providers, (recovery coach, sponsor, peer support, case managers, etc.) we assist in ensuring a successful outcome for all. Cory’s Place is focused on women with a priority on women seeking recovery and helping each other while helping themselves. The home is structured with a focus on recovery, self-care, and healing.
