Wells House - Baltimore Street

MAT Coordinated with the University of Maryland Medical Center

The facility partners with the University of Maryland Medical Center’s Department of Psychiatry, providing telemedicine access to addiction specialists. This means clients, whether already on medication for addiction treatment (MAT) or seeking it for the first time, can get timely evaluations and care planning without leaving the residence. Medications are prescribed onsite, making this a solid option for those managing opioid or alcohol use disorders with medical support.

Specialized Care for High-Need Clients

Care is inclusive and structured around the needs of often underserved populations, including veterans, seniors, people with co-occurring conditions (such as chronic pain, trauma, or HIV/AIDS), and those with involvement in the criminal justice system. Staff approach care with the understanding that recovery looks different depending on a person’s background and challenges. By addressing specific medical, psychological, and social concerns, the facility aims to create a more responsive and respectful treatment environment.

Residential Living Structured Around Peer Support

Men follow a daily schedule that includes therapy, life skills education, and 12-step support meetings. On arrival, each client is paired with a peer mentor in long-term recovery to help them navigate the early days of treatment. Staff are on-site 24/7 to ensure safety and provide encouragement. The program’s approach fosters a sense of responsibility and community, helping residents build the routines and relationships essential for long-term recovery.

Trauma-Informed Yoga and Music Therapy

Trauma-informed yoga and music therapy are incorporated into the recovery model to support holistic healing. Yoga sessions are designed to help residents reconnect with their bodies in a safe, supportive environment, aiming to ease symptoms of trauma and stress. Music therapy offers a creative outlet for expression and emotional processing, especially for those who struggle to articulate their experiences in talk therapy. Both services are led by trained professionals.

Patient Reviews

Reviews highlight the facility’s welcoming approach and holistic care. Former clients appreciate the structured housing, the role of peer mentors, and the focus on both mental and physical wellness. Many cite a sense of belonging and being genuinely understood, especially those dealing with co-occurring conditions or traumatic backgrounds. Feedback underscores a strong foundation of trust and inclusivity.
