About Amistad: Peer Support and Addiction Recovery in Portland, Miane

We are a community where everyone is always welcome on a first-name basis without regard to diagnosis and where everyone is treated with dignity and respect.

We help those with mental illness, substance use disorder, chronic homelessness, and related issues to recover and lead healthy lives.

Amistad has been the leader of peer services in Maine since our inception over 30 years ago. Our intention over the years- to connect with folks using compassionate inquiry and build healthy relationshsips- has led to innovative peer-led programming that improves health outcomes, focuses on acceptance and relationship building, and built a strong workforce of people in recovery. We have not only infiltrated the system, we have become an integral part of its recovery process.

Recovery

We have a fundamental and unwavering belief in the power and possibility of recovery and absolutely believe that all individuals can lead full, rich, and productive lives.

Relationships

We believe that services that are organized and delivered by peers focus on building positive relationships and should become an integral part of the mental health system.

Respect

We believe that all members of the Amistad community – members, staff and those seeking services – deserve to be treated equally and with dignity and respect at all times.
