We’re often asked, “How did the REST Center start??”
It was started out of necessity, by a member of our community that we all know and love.
This is the founder’s story.
Jeremy Hiltz started the REST Center out of a need he identified in the community. In 2007 Jeremy was released from incarceration after being in and out for several years. When he began to rebuild his life he had limited resources, no vehicle, gainful employment, or supports. Due to his lack of resources, he was residing with his mother. She would drop him off in Lewiston, everyday at 6:00 am, to look for work. During those times, when he had no where to go during the day, he would often make his way to the 12 Hour Club on Lisbon Street. During this time, he attended 12-step meetings there and began to find support in his life from the recovery community. The 12 Hour Club gave him a start and a place to be while he was rebuilding his life. Many years later Jeremy ended up going to school and getting into the addiction treatment field. He worked in the local area facilitating different Intensive Outpatient Programs. Jeremy then decided to open his own agency, Recovery Connections of Maine, which is located above The R.E.S.T Center.
