An Overview of Recovery Housing
Recovery housing plays a crucial role in providing additional support for individuals in the early stages of recovery from addiction. After being discharged from inpatient or residential care facilities, individuals can find a structured and supportive environment in our MCORR-certified recovery houses.
Each house is staffed by a dedicated house manager and peers who conduct recovery-oriented group sessions. This structure ensures that residents receive both leadership and camaraderie in their journey toward recovery. To maintain a conducive environment for recovery, we implement strict house rules, hold regular meetings, and conduct drug use screenings. This comprehensive approach ensures accountability while fostering a supportive community for recovery.
Certified Level II Recovery House Specifications
To achieve certification through the Maryland Certification of Recovery Residences (MCORR), it’s essential for us to adhere to and uphold the national standards set by the National Association of Recovery Residences (NARR). These standards are designed to ensure that recovery residences provide a safe, supportive, and effective environment for individuals on their journey to recovery.
Maintaining these standards is not only a commitment to excellence but also a commitment to the well-being of those we serve. For more information about these standards and the certification process, please visit the NARR website.
Features and Amenities
Our recovery houses, designed for 8 to 15 residents depending on their size, offer a supportive and community-oriented environment. In these houses, residents typically share bedrooms with another person. This arrangement fosters a sense of community and togetherness among the residents. Moreover, they enjoy access to several shared amenities, including living spaces, bathrooms, kitchens, and recreational areas. These shared spaces are essential in promoting a balanced and healthy lifestyle and encouraging interactions and activities that support recovery.
The careful consideration that goes into the design and decoration of each house is aimed at ensuring the well-being and comfort of our residents. From cozy common areas to tranquil bedrooms, every detail is thoughtfully chosen to contribute to a nurturing atmosphere.
Our goal is to transcend the traditional concept of a recovery house by creating spaces that feel more like homes. We endeavor to offer an environment where our residents don’t just reside but thrive as they navigate their recovery journey. This approach is fundamental to our mission, as we believe that a supportive and comfortable living environment is critical to effective recovery.
Building a Community in Our Recovery Homes
House Managers
Every house is staffed with house managers to provide necessary support to residents. Residents benefit from peer support groups and individual sessions throughout the week, creating a caring and understanding community atmosphere.
Additionally, to further promote a sense of belonging and collective responsibility, weekly house meetings are organized. These meetings serve as a platform for discussing house-related issues and encouraging community engagement. This structured support system ensures that each resident feels supported and integrated into the community, fostering an environment where everyone can thrive.
Stay Duration and Transitioning
Residents are invited to stay with us for a period ranging from 12 to 18 months. This substantial time frame allows individuals to focus on recovery and personal development. The duration is designed to ensure that individuals have ample opportunity for healing and growth.
For those who require ongoing assistance beyond their stay, our services extend to an outpatient facility. At this facility, we provide specialized support for substance use and mental health issues. This arrangement enables a seamless transition from inpatient care to outpatient support, facilitating a holistic approach to recovery and ensuring comprehensive support for those on their journey toward wellness.
Activities and Events
Residents have the opportunity to actively participate in a variety of house meetings, events, and community outreach programs, fostering a strong sense of belonging and collective action. These gatherings are the foundation of a vibrant community life.
Additionally, the residents come together to share meals in a family-style setting, which not only strengthens their bonds but also enhances their shared living experience. Celebrating important milestones such as birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays together further cements these bonds, creating a warm, inclusive environment where every resident feels valued and connected.
Career Development and Support
We know that employment helps build character, confidence, and a sense of belonging within the greater community. We assist our residents with employment readiness like resume writing, job searching, and interviewing skills. We also provide guidance when navigating community programs that offer support with medical insurance and finding care providers to meet their medical and psychiatric needs, finding additional housing options, and rental funding assistance, if needed. Our goal is to ensure our residents return to a level of social functioning that fulfills their own personal expectations of what a life well lived should look like.
Resident Application and Rental Assistance
Applications can be submitted through two channels: either directly by the individuals seeking help or through referral partners who are authorized to assist with the application process. This ensures a flexible and accessible approach to receiving support.
Additionally, eligible individuals can access up to 90 days of rental assistance to support recovery housing needs. This assistance is designed to help those in the process of recovery secure stable housing.
If you have questions or other related concerns, you can contact our team. We’ll be more than glad to assist you in finding a recovery home that suits your needs.
