Success in Washington County

When Liz, a mother of three, enrolled in services at the Calais Opportunity Center in 2018, she struggled with substance use which impacted her family’s stability for several years. Last year, she committed to her recovery, and she has now achieved a year of sobriety. She also recently completed our Career Development, Power of Possible classes and got a part-time job at an area restaurant. She told staff that she is proud of the progress she has made, and the part-time job is part of her recovery plan. Staff have helped her with transportation and arranging childcare to help her go to work and engage in her supports.
