Mid Coast Hospital center meets gold standard

The Addiction Resource Center in Brunswick is among nine Maine behavioral health organizations that met Gold Star Standards of Excellence Behavioral Health.

The program of the MaineHealth Center for Tobacco Independence’s Breathe Easy initiative recognized efforts to address tobacco use and secondhand smoke exposure. Celebrated organizations received a plaque for their achievements in advancing their campus smoke and tobacco-free policies and promoting tobacco-free lifestyles. This was the fifth year the Addiction Resource Center participated in the initiative.
