Britney Spears Detoxes From Substance Abuse In “Small, Picturesque” Camden, Maine: TMZ

When iconic singer Britney Spears finally decided enough was enough she came to a $12 million oceanfront Maine mansion to dry out.

TMZ is reporting that the “Princess of Pop,” as she’s known, received detox and mental-health treatment at Borden Cottage in Camden.

“Sources close to Spears” told TMZ she chose the “quiet, rural facility for “dual diagnosis care for both substance abuse and mental health services, following her recent DUI arrest,” the outlet says.

“We’re told the super private center sits on a 14-acre estate and offers high-end, individualized treatment,” TMZ added.

“The program blends clinical therapy with holistic options like meditation and art therapy, but also includes amenities such as private suites, chef-prepared meals, a gym, pool and even recreational spaces.”

Spears, 44, “spent less than three weeks at the center before recently leaving,” according to TMZ.

“That was a little shocking, because we know people in her inner circle thought she needed at 30 days, if not more, of treatment.”

Indeed, the treatment center itself says “a 45-day minimum stay is typically required,” the cost of which is reportedly $140,000.

Britney’s stay came in the wake of her March 4 DUI arrest when Spears was pulled over near her home after allegedly swerving between lanes.

She’s since struck a deal, pleading guilty to a lesser charge of “wet reckless.”

Spears will be on probation for a year and must follow strict rules, including not possessing drugs without a valid prescription.

She’s also required to continue mental-health and substance abuse treatment, with regular visits to both a psychologist and psychiatrist.

Now that she’s out, she’s taking precautions, including being driven by a chauffeur as she attempts to follow the terms of her probation, TMZ said in its report Friday night.

Spears is widely regarded as one of the most influential entertainers of the 21st century, according to Wiki.

Borden Cottage, located at 235 Bayview Street in Camden and founded ten years ago, describes itself as providing “world-renowned luxury residential treatment for substance use and mental health disorders.”

“At Borden Cottage, we believe in the healing power of compassion, expertise, and genuine human connection. Our approach is designed to be a truly transformative experience – one that walks alongside you on your path to recovery with care, intention, and heart.”

The facility’s tax records show a previous owner as Charles Cawley, former president of a credit-card company known as MBNA Bank.

The $12 million property’s “illustrious history includes ownership by Ellen Borden Stevenson,” according to Pen Bay Pilot.

Stevenson was an American socialite who became the First Lady of Illinois in 1949, having been married to Adlai Stevenson II, who became governor of Illinois that year. She divorced him a year into his governorship.

Stevenson later twice ran for president, becoming the Democrat nominee in 1952 and 1956, losing both times to Dwight Eisenhower. He was also later the ambassador to the United Nations, from 1961 until 1965, the year he died.

The couple’s three children included Adlai Stevenson III, who became a U.S. senator.

The pricey Maine property Borden Stevenson once owned, a mile from downtown Camden and Rockport Village, is anchored by a 16,000-square-foot, 10-bedroom house that sits on the east side of a slight hill overlooking Penobscot Bay, Pen Bay Pilot says.

The estate includes a swimming pool, activities building with arcade games, billiards and ping-pong rooms, a 1950s-style diner, and a four-lane bowling alley.

Built in 1903 and formerly referred to as the Borden Cottage, from which the treatment facility derives its name, it was extensively expanded in the 1990s by Cawley and his wife.
