Wellspring Infinity House Women and Children’s provides specialized substance use disorder treatment for mothers and their children in Bangor, ME, recognizing that addiction affects entire families. This unique facility operates on the understanding that healing happens best when families can stay together throughout the recovery process.

The center offers a continuum of trauma-informed care in what they describe as a compassionate and welcoming environment, making treatment accessible regardless of a family’s financial circumstances. Their SAMHSA recognition underscores their commitment to evidence-based practices and quality standards in addiction treatment.

What distinguishes Wellspring is their holistic approach to family recovery, where mothers receive comprehensive substance use and mental health services while maintaining their parental relationships and responsibilities during treatment.

Specialized Programs for Healing Together

Wellspring’s treatment philosophy centers on trauma-informed care that acknowledges how past experiences influence addiction and recovery. Their programming addresses both substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions through integrated services designed specifically for mothers and children.

• Trauma-informed substance abuse counseling that helps mothers understand connections between past experiences and current challenges
• Co-occurring mental health treatment addressing depression, anxiety, and other conditions alongside addiction recovery
• Family preservation services allowing mothers to maintain custody and care for their children during treatment
• Parenting support and education helping mothers develop healthy coping strategies while caring for their families
• Community connection resources linking families to ongoing support systems and services

Who Benefits from This Unique Model

Wellspring Infinity House specializes in serving women with substance use disorders who are also mothers, understanding that traditional treatment models often require family separation that can hinder recovery. Their approach recognizes that many women face unique barriers to treatment when they have children to care for.

Comprehensive Care for Complex Needs

The facility treats women struggling with various substances while simultaneously addressing co-occurring mental health disorders that often accompany addiction. Their trauma-informed model is particularly relevant for mothers who may have experienced domestic violence, childhood trauma, or other adverse experiences that contribute to substance use patterns. Through their mission to help people, families, and communities thrive, Wellspring creates pathways to recovery that strengthen rather than separate family bonds.
