Portland Recovery Community Center

Today, we traveled to Bangor to participate in Governor Mills’ 8th Annual Opioid Response Summit. The summit and seminars are part of the State of Maine’s strong commitment to addressing the opioid epidemic and supporting recovery efforts across our communities.

We were honored to spend the day alongside organizations from all over Maine that are dedicated to this important work.

A special thank you to Cumberland County for joining us on the panel, *From Inside Out: Peer Recovery Support for Justice-Involved Individuals*. We appreciated the opportunity to discuss the important work Cumberland County allows us to do in helping bridge the gap between the justice system and recovery support services.

📊 Why Ethical Data Tracking Matters

Ethical data tracking is a vital part of what keeps our center running smoothly and by collecting accurate, confidential information, we're able to measure our impact, improve our services, and demonstrate the real difference we're making in our community.

This data also plays a critical role in helping us apply for and receive grant funding. Grant providers want to see that their investments create meaningful outcomes, and ethical data collection helps us tell that story with transparency and accountability.
