Transforming Lives Through Training, Support, and Recovery

Opening in late 2025 and 2026, respectively, the York County First Responder Training Facility (Training Facility) and the York County Substance Use Treatment and Recovery Center (Recovery Center) will occupy more than 100 acres of land in Alfred, ME.

Each building is designed as a direct response to critical needs in our communities: Easy access to a full continuum of care for those suffering from substance use disorder and access to quality training and professional growth opportunities for first responders and public safety workers.

York County First Responder Training Center

The Training Center, opening in late 2025, will provide state-of-the-art facilities designed for comprehensive training of first responders and public safety workers.

Serving as a regional training hub, the center will emphasize preparedness, skill enhancement, and excellence in public safety and emergency response.

Additionally, it will house an Emergency Logistics Operations Center, playing a crucial role in disaster response coordination.

York County Substance Use Treatment and Recovery Center

The Recovery Center, opening in 2026, will provide 24/7 comprehensive, compassionate, and individualized care for adults (18+) in York County.

Focused on trauma-informed care, the center will promote holistic healing through tailored treatment plans and ongoing aftercare support for lasting recovery.

The facility will offer a safe and supportive environment for individuals seeking recovery from substance use disorders.

Training Center to Serve as Model for Public Safety Innovation and Collaboration

Opening by the end of 2025, York County’s First Responder Training Center will set a new standard for how Maine prepares police, firefighters, EMS, and dispatchers.

First County Foundation Looks to Fill Needs at Training and Recovery Centers

As construction continues on the York County Regional First Responder Training Center and the York County Substance Use Treatment and Recovery Center, the county government is looking ahead to opening day — and to making a difference in the lives of residents in York County.

Training Center May be Finished by End of Year

The water line has been brought over from York County Jail to the building site, the foundation for the First Responder Training Center has been poured, sewer piping is complete, and soon, installation of structural steel for the training center will commence.

York County Recovery Center Moves Forward

York County Commissioners have signed off on a $21.9 million guaranteed maximum price for construction of the York County Substance Use Recovery Center. The five-member board made a unanimous vote on Dec. 18, the last meeting of the 2024 calendar year.
