The Board of Directors of Breaking the Cycle is pleased to announce two very exciting changes happening within our organization.

1. Breaking the Cycle is now fully licensed by the State of Maine as a residential treatment center. This change now enables us to bill MaineCare for all the services that we provide to our residents. This transition marks a new day for our organization - instead of just being a sober house with two employees, we will now be able to hire an entire team, including both clinicians and direct support workers who can staff our program around the clock. If you know anybody who might like to work with us, please send them our way. We’d love to meet them!

2. Danni Stengel will be spearheading this new chapter for us as our new Executive Director. Danni has worked as Breaking the Cycle’s Administrative Director since our organization launched in 2020. She’s a competent community leader, a person in longterm recovery, and a fierce advocate for low barrier public health services serving women in Maine with substance use disorder and trauma.

We can’t wait to see what good things the future will bring for Breaking the Cycle and our whole community here in Penobscot County!

We look forward to hearing from you!

Nice Work Heidi Wheaton and everyone from the B.A.R.N. 🙌

The Recovery Palooza sought to congratulate those who are sober and encourage others who are still struggling with substance use disorder.

One of our lovely ladies needs some support from our community while she's putting in the work to better herself and her life.

If you're able to foster an indoor cat for a few months while she completes the program, please message us for more info so we can see if it's a good fit for both parties!

Our beautiful ladies spent a couple of nights in Portland this weekend attending the New England Fellowship of the Spirit event! What a unique opportunity to learn about the different approaches to step work - one step at a time. 🙌

I'm so glad we have the opportunity to bring our residents to events like this, and it wouldn't be possible without your continued support and donations. ❤️
