About Evolve Life Centers
Evolve Life Centers is an addiction treatment facility in Pasadena, Maryland. They offer a homelike and communal residential treatment program for adults affected by substance use disorders. They’re conveniently nestled between Baltimore and Annapolis in the Glen Burnie/Pasadena area of Maryland. The facility boasts clean and comfortably furnished rooms with well tended common areas. There’s also a complete gym and fitness center for wellness activities.
Your recovery journey will most likely start with their residential program. You can choose between their medium intensity residential care which lasts 30 to 60 days or their low intensity option which is about five months long. Both enable you to build a strong foundation for achieving sobriety. You should expect to participate in monthly house activities, weekly recovery group meetings and individual sessions with an addiction expert. The emphasis is on individualized treatment and you must set realistic recovery goals.
Certified peer recovery specialists are available to provide guidance and promote accountability. Activities are designed to foster supportive social connections and productive recovery. Their outdoor recreations are specifically fun and exciting making recovery adventurous. Skydiving, sailing and horseback riding are some of these adventures. They also offer equine therapy, white water rafting and pumping carvings. These are activities that teach you emotional regulation, self confidence and responsibility.
Their outpatient programs include both general and intensive outpatient care. The latter is relatively structured and involves more intense therapy. You can expect to participate in up to nine hours of group sessions weekly. The general outpatient may require just 90 minutes of therapy weekly.
An even more intensive option for clients requiring more support after residential treatment is their partial hospitalization program. You’ll attend therapy sessions 7 days a week with various fun activities on the weekend for 28 days. Their therapists use a mix of techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness in group, individual and family sessions. This aims to help you address negative behavioral patterns fueling your substance use and develop solid coping mechanisms.
Specialized services may be available to support clients struggling with co-occurring disorders. These services may include medication management and psychiatric evaluation in addition to addiction therapy. Their comprehensive discharge planning may involve a transition to their recovery housing.
This sober living facility offers a supportive environment for complete recovery focusing on peer support. You’ll follow house rules, attend meetings and engage in community activities to foster stability and independence before reintegration into the community. They may also refer you to 12 step groups like AA or NA for ongoing support.
Many have praised their exceptional services not only for residential treatment but also for their full continuum of care including outpatient programs and recovery housing. Their multidisciplinary care personnel are said to be friendly, compassionate and highly knowledgeable. They’re also CARF accredited which confirms their commitment to quality care delivery.

Accepted Insurance
Other Forms of Payment
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.
Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Medically Assisted Detox Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.
Intensive Outpatient Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.
Sober Living Homes Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.
12-Step 12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).
Outpatient Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
Inpatient Inpatient rehab enables clients to focus exclusively on their recovery while living in a highly structured and supportive environment. Inpatient treatment is typically designed for clients who have just completed detox, are in early recovery, and/or are at an elevated risk of relapse. Their treatment generally involves intensive addiction counseling, including individual, group, and family counseling. Many inpatient rehabs also offer recovery-focused life skills training and/or holistic therapies, such as yoga, massage, and meditation.
Treatments
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
Once a person has become addicted to a substance, drug rehab in Maryland is often necessary to overcome that addiction. These programs provide the tools individuals need to manage the physical, mental, and emotional issues involved and begin a successful recovery journey.
Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.
Programs
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
Clinical Services
Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety. During the stay life coach will help the client with a resume and come up with a realistic plan for obtaining employment. Some employment opportunities are available through their program, which will help the participants with fees until they are able to find employment.
