About York County Shelter Programs
York County Shelter Programs in Alfred, Maine is a private nonprofit substance use treatment provider that combines addiction care with transitional housing and broader homelessness response services.
The program offers a continuum that includes residential treatment, outpatient services, co-occurring disorder care and aftercare support.
Operating as a wraparound social services model, the organization integrates recovery with shelter, job training, food assistance and permanent housing support.
Medication Assisted Treatment
The center provides medication assisted treatment to help guests experiencing opioid or alcohol addiction.

This combined method helps ensure guests receive the care needed to thrive after treatment.

Levels of care
- Inpatient / residential
- Inpatient care keeps one eye on the road ahead. The final phase of a stay is spent planning the step down to outpatient support.
- Outpatient
- Once a person in Maine leaves residential care, outpatient sessions keep the work going at a gentler pace. Sleep happens at home, and daily routines continue.
- Aftercare support
- Aftercare planning usually begins before discharge, while the treatment experience is still fresh and goals are easy to discuss.
- Co-occurring disorders
- Naming what is happening matters, and a substance use disorder with a mental health condition at once is called a dual diagnosis.
