About Wells House at Gale Recovery Frederick
Known for its Civil War legacy and quaint, small-town charm, Frederick, Maryland is also home to Wells House at Gale Recovery Frederick. Established in 1976, this treatment center offers a continuum of care for adults seeking addiction and co-occurring disorder recovery. Whether you’re uninsured, have private insurance or Medicaid or can pay out of pocket, they ensure you get the care you seek.
This location provides a low-intensity residential program that houses 85 men and women. You can access proven approaches including group, individual,and family counseling, 12 step meetings, holistic therapies, peer services, medication assisted treatment (MAT) and more.
What stands out most to me is their education and employment services. They help you rebuild your life by connecting you with continuing education and vocational training. You can participate in GED classes to obtain certification and help you secure employment. You’ll also learn essential money management and job skills to find a career and set yourself up for success.
Another great feature I noticed was their holistic approach. Your personalized treatment plan won’t just focus on getting sober. Since many of their clients are from vulnerable populations, they ensure you receive care for your specific situation and needs. This includes clothing, food, housing, medical care, transportation, and much more.
I also like that you can participate in alternative therapies. They highlight new ways to express yourself and strengthen vital recovery skills. That way, you’ll leave treatment with new outlets to help you sustain recovery. Of these approaches, their trauma-informed yoga sessions really caught my eye. You’ll participate in specific poses to calm your body and release stress.
