Martha’s Place

Martha’s Place is a residential recovery program for women overcoming substance abuse and homelessness. The facility borders Baltimore’s communities of Sandtown-Winchester and Upton in Maryland. They offer long-term single-room occupancy housing. Each client enjoys a private bedroom with shared living rooms, dining rooms and bathrooms. Laundry facilities and outdoor gardens are also available. The latter provides a calming space for reflection, stress relief and connection with nature. This supports mental and emotional wellbeing during recovery.

The facility is safe and very conducive to recovery. It’s the ideal structured recovery setting where women can learn to maintain sobriety while building life skills for independent living. The program involves various supportive services like addiction counseling, case management and wellness workshops. Counseling helps you address the underlying cause of your substance abuse and develop coping strategies.

The program also includes life skills training, money management and employment assistance. These allow you to establish a greater sense of independence and empowerment. The program alumni known as Martha’s Angels represent an essential voice of advocacy that provides emotional support and mentorship and serves as role models to clients in recovery. They also offer support and outreach to other women struggling with addiction.

What I find fascinating and very helpful in this residential program is their wellness workshops. This hour-long session is held every Wednesday to support and improve residents’ mental health and physical wellbeing. The activities range from spiritual health to financial wellness, computer skills and garden yoga. Comments from past clients reflect an overwhelmingly impressive service offering.

Inpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements. Women that complete a six-month transitional program are eligible to apply for residency at the Martha’s Place long-term single room occupancy program. Each of these five facilities offer individual bedrooms and shared living rooms, dining rooms, bathrooms, laundry facilities, and outdoor gardens. The program offers supportive services such as addictions counseling, money management, wellness classes, and community meals are offered as part of the program.

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.
