Marian House
About Marian House
Marian House is a women centered substance use treatment program and supportive housing organization in Baltimore, Maryland and offers an intensive outpatient program, less intensive outpatient care and a range of transitional and permanent supportive housing.
Founded in 1982, I want to note that the organization serves women and children facing homelessness and trauma, mental illness and reentry barriers.
Its mission is to provide a safe, sober and loving environment that helps women move from dependence to independence.
IOP and Mindfulness
Recovery often begins in the abstinence based intensive outpatient program, featuring licensed facilitated small groups and weekly individual substance use counseling.
Then, women can progress through Marian House's structured transitional housing, more independent community living and permanent supportive housing with ongoing case management.
You can expect recovery education, relapse prevention and 12 step work, emotional regulation and art based groups, yoga and mindfulness.
I appreciate that Marian House also welcomes women receiving medication assisted treatment and integrates counseling with life skills, education and employment support.

Amenities
Residential drug rehab provides the comforts of home with the therapeutic support needed to successfully recover. Benefits of an inpatient program include increased safety, a higher success rate, and the time and distance given to focus on recovery. Residential drug rehabs are often the preferred method of treatment, as they can be tailored to meet specific needs, offer focused therapeutic care, and provide the necessary tools to sustain recovery.
Addiction treatment programs provide an opportunity to get your life back on track with access to school classes or college courses. Whether you want to finish your GED or go back to school to learn a new trade, facilities often enlist tutors and teachers who are certified or licensed by the state to oversee self-study or distance-learning education.
Addiction Treatment Programs
During crucial developmental years, addiction can cause cognitive impairment, increase risky behavior, and impair social development. A young adult program in Maryland can help individuals learn to make healthy choices and avoid these downfalls of addiction.
A typical adult program in Maryland offers a private setting for rehabilitation from alcohol or drugs. Treatment often includes group therapy, individual counseling, and family support and may occur in a residential facility or through outpatient care.

Levels of Care
If you have both a mental health and substance use disorder, these cannot be treated independently. They interact, so the treatment must be integrated. Dual diagnosis treatment in Maryland is designed to treat both co-occurring disorders.
Addiction challenges don’t end after rehab. To maintain good health and sobriety, you’ll need to continue to manage your addiction. Aftercare rehab in Maryland helps you by providing continued access to specialists, counselors, and life coaches for as long as you need them.
The most intensive level of care is known as inpatient rehab. It involves living at the facility until you finish your program, receiving extensive individual and group addiction counseling, recovery-focused life skills training, and complementary therapies.
A Maryland sober living home is appropriate for those who want to abstain from drugs and alcohol but need a high level of accountability. If you don’t have strong support at home or have been resistant to treatment in the past, this structured environment can provide the support you need to maintain sobriety in the first few months of recovery.
