Borden Cottage

A haven of luxury and privacy on the coast of Maine, Borden Cottage provides unparalleled residential treatment for substance use and co-occurring disorders. With only 8 clients at a time, their intimate setting enables their expert team to highly personalize care that blends evidence-based therapies, holistic practices, and neuropsychological insights to guide private-pay clients toward lasting recovery. Borden Cottage crafts individualized treatment programs that combine clinical expertise, evidence-based therapies, and holistic care. Neuropsychological testing and frequent meetings with the care team help tailor each client’s blend of individual and group therapies, medication, and wellness activities like yoga, tai chi, and personal training. Clients engage in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), mindfulness, art therapy, and recovery support groups. Set atop 14 secluded acres, Borden Cottage blends turn-of-the-century elegance with modern luxury. Clients stay in private, fully appointed rooms with en suite baths within the main house or guest cottages. The estate features a luxurious wellness facility, pool, theater, billiards, and a bowling alley. An in-house chef prepares gourmet meals using local, seasonal ingredients, served in the communal dining room, a restored 1950s diner, or on the ocean-facing deck. Borden Cottage offers a seamless continuum of care to support lasting sobriety. They connect clients with essential resources for a smooth transition after treatment, helping clients find therapy, sober coaching, case management, and more. Their alumni program is a community designed to provide ongoing support through a strong peer network grounded in shared experiences.
