The TENS Foundation launched our Support Program by establishing partnerships with two exceptional treatment centers: Liberty Bay Treatment Center in Portland, Maine, and the Caron Foundation, a well-established nonprofit provider of addiction and behavioral health treatment with primary campuses in Eastern Pennsylvania and Delray Beach, Florida.
Caron Foundation (Caron Treatment Centers)
The Caron Foundation is one of the oldest and largest nonprofit addiction treatment providers in the United States, dedicated to helping individuals and families affected by substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders through evidence-based therapy, medically supervised care, and comprehensive recovery support services. Caron operates inpatient treatment centers in Pennsylvania and Florida and offers a full continuum of care including detoxification, residential programs, outpatient services, and recovery support networks designed to foster long-term sobriety and whole-person wellness.
Through careful negotiation, we secured a 33% discount with Caron Foundation. We have committed $25,000 to fund either deductibles and neurorestorative treatments for three patients or traditional detox and rehab for one patient, representing our first direct intervention in helping individuals access life-saving care for Alcohol Use Disorder and Alcohol Withdrawal Syndrome.

Talk With The Pros
“I never understood how dangerous it was to attempt to detox on your own.”
— John E.
Education
We believe in the power of knowledge—and we are committed to educating the public, especially students, on the dangers of Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) and Alcohol Withdrawal Syndrome (AWS).To date, We have produced a 15-minute mini-documentary telling Tram’s story and seven educational videos that explain how alcohol affects the brain and when medically assisted detox is necessary. These resources are available on YouTube and our website—but that is just the beginning. We are working with the national nonprofit Shatterproof to distribute these materials through town prevention meetings across the country. Locally, we are partnering with the Opiate-Free Island Partnership here in Deer Isle to present our documentary to students and their families.
Support
We are proud to announce the launch of our financial assistance program, designed to help individuals who are uninsured, underinsured, or unable to meet their deductibles.To ensure we can offer real support, we vetted over 15 treatment centers and selected Liberty Bay Treatment Center in Portland, Maine, and Caron Foundation, a nonprofit with locations in Eastern Pennsylvania and Delray Beach, Florida. Both have committed to providing TENS with a 33% discount, so we can help more people begin recovery safely and affordably.
Community
Our clean-up on Pond Island marks the fifth TENS event in the two last year. From removing 30 contractor bags of trash off Crow Island last summer to today’s pruning, trail clearing, and shoreline cleanup—our events are always sober, family-friendly, and rooted in wellness and conservation. And we are just getting started. We will continue to hold at least two events per year, with the goal of not only growing our reach, but also deepening awareness around Alcohol Use Disorder, recovery resources, and community resilience.
A Year Of Growth And Impact
EDUCATE. SUPPORT. LAUNCH.
Education and Resources
Our goal is to provide a comprehensive educational video library to aid individuals and families in understanding and coping with the effects of Alcohol Use Disorder and Alcohol Withdrawal Syndrome. TENS believes in empowering through knowledge and support.
Support
TENS has created a fund to help individuals cover the cost of recovery. We are building partnerships with trusted treatment centers, medical facilities, and recovery programs nationwide. These efforts ensure that those in need have immediate access to professional support—whether it’s for supervised withdrawal, counseling, or long-term care. Our goal is to connect individuals and families with the resources they need, when they need them most.
Community
We will continue to hold events throughout the year to raise awareness and encourage healthy, connected lifestyles. From shoreline clean-ups to wellness-based gatherings, each event is designed to be sober, family-friendly, educational and rooted in community care. As we grow, so will our impact—welcoming treatment center partners, alumni, and supporters alike.
