Research conducted in New England reveals that 75% of clients in long-term residential treatment have been there multiple times, a fact1 that reinforces the chronic nature of addiction. It's one reason Maine welcomed Aware Recovery Care to the state. Our goal is to stem the rise in overdose deaths with our innovative, in-home addiction rehab modality that treats substance use disorder like one would treat diabetes or hypertension—as a chronic condition that doesn't disappear in 30 days.
"We have to recognize (addiction) isn't a character flaw or a moral failing. It's a chronic disease of the brain that deserves the same compassion that any other chronic illness does."
— Aware Recovery Care
