Day One is committed to partnering with area schools by offering prevention and treatment services. Day One has provided informational sessions at schools, sometimes including “testimonials” by youth from our programs who share their own experience and hope. We also collaborate with local high schools and middle schools by providing an on-site counselor to help students with substance use and mental health concerns.
School-Based Services
Day One counselors offer support to students in a number of schools throughout southern Maine utilizing the most up to date and research-backed approaches. If there is not a counselor based in your school, you can meet with one at one of our offices.
During the 2019-2020 school year, Day One offers services at the following schools: Biddeford High School, Biddeford Middle School, Deering High School, Old Orchard Beach High School, South Portland High School, and Windham High School.
Testimonials
Students greatly benefit from hearing from someone their own age about his/her personal struggles with alcohol, drug use, and mental health needs. Clients from Day One treatment programs regularly share their experience and their recovering lifestyle at schools across Maine.
