The Courage Network operates seven housing programs, all of which are safe and supportive of everybody in recovery, no matter their pathway toward mental health and sobriety. Our houses in Gorham and Westbrook offer temporary loding for people participating in our IOP. Our houses in Biddeford and Sanford offer longer term accommodations for people in recovery who are living and working in those communities. At all of our houses, residents live like any other member of the local community. These recovery residences are designed to be a sober environment where participants can feel like everyday people, not patients in an institution. Residents can expect to be living independently while also being provided with accountability and support to reach their goals.
All Courage House recovery residences proudly adhere to the full set of ethics and standards put forward by the National Alliance of Recovery Residences.
Located in the old Sigma Nu fraternity property just a block away from the University of Southern Maine, Courage House's flagship building offers 19 men a safe and supportive place to stay temporarily while in the Courage Network's Intensive Outpatient Program, located on Main Street in Gorham. The property is set up as peer-run recovery lodging with 3 live-in resident leaders who have graduated from the IOP program and 16 current clients of the IOP program making decisions together about how best to operate their shared temporary home.

This house first opened in 2018 as the Journey House for men. Although that organization no longer exists, the Courage Network is proud to continue the tradition of low-barrier, peer-run recovery housing for people in recovery from substance use disorder.
