Advisory Committee

Since opening in 2018, Tracey Martin has significantly elevated the profile of the Lakes Region Recovery Center. Her pivotal role in establishing programs within local hospitals and schools, along with her ongoing efforts to expand recovery services without charge, has been instrumental. Through her involvement in the recovery community, she has gained valuable insights into prevalent needs. This position provides a platform for continuous learning, enabling the acquisition of new skills daily. The subsequent strategic move involved establishing an advisory board to further extend our reach within the community.

Catherine Clough-Bell has been in the substance use disorder profession since 1997. She is a licensed alcohol and drug counselor (LADC), and is a certified clinical supervisor (CCS).She is the Founder and President of Crooked River Counseling which she opened in 2005, as well as the Lakes Region Recovery Center which she opened in 2018. Both are considered to be a small woman owned business. Catherine has worked extensively with the medical profession and formed critical and lasting partnerships to help combat the opioid crisis and advocate for the treatment of substance use disorders. She has assisted in the development of medication assisted treatment programs throughout Maine. She advocates tirelessly for people with addictions, often providing education to organizations which help combat stigma.

I agreed to join the LRRC advisory board because the recovery center is vital to the people who need help with substance use disorder. As a person in recovery and a recovery coach, I know firsthand how difficult it can be to find resources. My experience in business and self-employment is useful on a board such as this, I have a practical knowledge for problem solving situations where budgeting is tight. I live locally and have many useful contacts in the area.

Walter Riseman

What an honor to be invited as a member of the advisory group at the Lake Region Recovery Center. Based on personal experience, I know how addiction effects a loved one and the entire family as well. I was fortunate to find the resources and supportive staff at LRRC. They helped me understand the realities and solutions for families and family members who want assistance with the daily challenges. I am inspired to give back to this organization.

Ed is enjoying a meaningful retirement from public education as a teacher specializing in photography, and as a Licensed Professional Counselor and Art Therapist at a local residential treatment center for children. He is currently completing a certification program at the Pacifica Graduate Institute on “Aging as a Spiritual Practice.” In addition to retreats, he has volunteered as a certified Recovery Coach at a local community recovery center. He is an active member of St. Joseph Parish in western Maine where he has served in prison ministry, as eucharistic minister, and along with his wife, as coordinator of the Social Justice and Peace Commission. He lives with his loving wife Kathleen in Center Conway NH with their 2 cats.

Ed Stevens

I am excited to join the advisory committee of the Lakes Region Recovery Center. I volunteer at the LRRC because I’ve seen the amazing service they provide for Bridgton residents and surrounding communities. It’s a wonderful organization. After retiring with 40 years of information Technology experience I was looking to give back to the community where I live. My last four years of working was spent supporting the mission of the Arthritis Foundation at their headquarters in Atlanta Georgia. I hope to leverage that experience to assist the LRRC on their mission.
