A drug and alcohol detoxification center that opened in Hampden two years ago has recently expanded its services in a way that could help more people inside and outside the Bangor region get into recovery.

When New Horizons Detox Center opened at the start of 2018, the 10-bed facility was only able to serve patients who were referred to it by the emergency departments of Bangor’s two hospitals, St. Joseph Hospital and Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center.
