Finson Road sits on a 1.7-acre lot in Bangor and serves as a residential treatment center run by NFI North Inc, a private nonprofit group, and it's a two-story building going back all the way to 1910, with 8 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, a fireplace, and about 3,156 square feet of space, looking like a regular single-family house with a partial basement and walls of aluminum or vinyl. Folks age 21 and up, including seniors 65 or older, can get care for mental health issues, serious mental illness, PTSD, and dual diagnosis-which means both substance use and mental illness at the same time-and Finson Road's known for offering housing services, group homes, and transitional living, all while providing case management if people need help making sure things stay on track. Adults at the facility get group therapy, individual psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and trauma therapy, plus medication-assisted treatment such as Suboxone and Methadone, so those with addiction or withdrawal get extra support, and they also have detox, mental health treatment, behavior modification programs, memory care for dementia and Alzheimer's, as well as support for people with autism and individuals from the LGBT community.
People living at Finson Road can smoke, but only in designated areas, and there's always a focus on encouraging folks to stay active and engaged, so group activities, social groups, and house meetings are a regular part of the week, and there's monthly outings for things like concerts, church events, family visits, and farmers markets, with a staff team and peer support to help with daily life-things like meal prep, medication, getting to appointments, and keeping on top of treatments. The building has a conventional style, a partially finished basement for some extra room, and forced hot water heating to keep it warm. Seniors aiming to age in place while keeping community ties get individualized attention, and there's services for people who want to keep their independence but need extra help with physical, mental, or behavioral health-including support for people with PTSD, suicide prevention, and memory care services.
The property has 12 interior rooms, is listed as a 1-family residence, and carries a licensed status as a Pnmi Level IV Residential Care Facility with space for 8 beds for adults, plus there are programs for children, teens, and adults, including foster care, youth crisis support, outpatient therapy, medication monitoring, and a separate facility for kids aged 11-18 with autism spectrum disorder. There are community connections in place, with partnerships for Medicaid and other health plans, and as a nonprofit, Finson Road focuses on making mental health care and supportive housing as accessible as possible. Residents get support based on dignity, respect, and fellowship and often live in a shared space with peers, building daily routines and social bonds for as long as needed, with a main goal of helping everyone maintain stability and a sense of community as they age.
