About 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Borden Cottage accept Medicaid?
SAMHSA data does not list Medicaid among this facility's accepted payment types. Call (207) 492-4824 directly to confirm — coverage may have changed since the last SAMHSA sync. You can also browse other CA centers that accept Medicaid.
What level of care does Borden Cottage offer?
Does Borden Cottage have specialized programs?
SAMHSA data does not list specialized populations. The facility may still offer specialty tracks — confirm directly.
What therapy methods does Borden Cottage use?
Specific therapy approaches are not listed in SAMHSA data. Contact the facility for clinical details.
How do I start treatment at Borden Cottage?
Call the facility directly at (207) 492-4824 for an intake assessment. Our free 24/7 helpline (+1 (205) 973-2878) can also help you compare programs, verify insurance, and navigate options. No physician referral is required.
Is treatment confidential?
Yes. Federal law (42 CFR Part 2) provides strict confidentiality protections for substance use treatment records — stricter than HIPAA. Records cannot be disclosed without written consent, even to family, employers, or law enforcement.
What happens when you call? (general intake process)

Most treatment centers follow a 4-step intake: (1) confidential assessment — substance history, mental health, insurance, preferences (protected by 42 CFR Part 2); (2) insurance verification — facility contacts your plan to confirm coverage and out-of-pocket costs; (3) level-of-care recommendation — clinical staff match you to detox, residential, PHP, IOP, or outpatient based on severity; (4) admission typically within 24–48 hours. Timing varies by facility and bed availability.
