Sunrise Place Sober Living
About Sunrise Place Sober Living
Sunrise Place Sober Living is a women's sober living provider based on Brighton Avenue in Portland, Maine, in Cumberland County. Its Portland address is described in listings as the main office location, and the residence identified under the Sunrise Place name is a women's house on River Road in South Windham.
An Office in Portland, a House in South Windham
The split between an administrative address and a residential one is common enough among small Maine providers, and it matters for anyone using this directory: the Brighton Avenue address is where the organization is reached, while the house itself is elsewhere in Cumberland County. South Windham is an inland village in the town of Windham, north west of Portland.
Alongside an Outpatient Clinic
The Brighton Avenue address is also the location of Awakenings Recovery Center, an outpatient mental health and substance use clinic offering drug rehabilitation together with intensive outpatient and outpatient levels of care. The two share the building, which is worth knowing when looking the address up, because searches on Brighton Avenue return the clinic as well as the housing.
Where to Look Next
Sunrise Place Sober Living runs a single identified residence, so the substance sits on the house listing rather than on this page. The Sunrise Place Sober Living listing carries what is known about who the housing serves and where it sits within women's recovery housing in Cumberland County.
Public Records for This Women's Sober Living Provider
Two different kinds of record meet at the Brighton Avenue address, and keeping them apart matters. A licensed outpatient clinic holds a state license covering the clinical services it delivers, with an inspection history behind it. Sober housing in Maine holds no license at all. Certification through the Maine Association of Recovery Residences is the voluntary standard that applies to a residence, and it is granted address by address, so a license belonging to a clinic in the same building extends nothing to the house in South Windham.
The public trace on this provider runs mostly through housing listings and the state recovery residence directories. For a woman comparing options in Cumberland County, that means the provider itself is the source for almost everything she needs to know, and the questions below are how she gets it.
Questions for a Women's Recovery Housing Provider in Cumberland County
Ask how long the provider has housed women in Windham and how many residences it runs now, since the office address gives no indication of either. Ask whether the co-located clinic and the housing are formally connected, and whether a resident is expected or required to use it, because a housing decision and a treatment decision should be made separately. Ask how the house is staffed and supervised when the office is in another town, and who a resident reaches at night. Ask how the weekly charge and any deposit are documented and refunded. Then ask how a complaint escalates past the house to the provider, and what outside body, if any, would review it.
