Evidence-Based and Practical Support

Treatment at Wells House combines individual and group counseling, relapse prevention, and case management, supported by family involvement. Clients work on personal goals while gaining tools to sustain recovery through education and employment. GED preparation, job-readiness coaching, and life-skills development, like budgeting and communication, help residents rebuild stability and strengthen their ability to thrive beyond treatment.

Holistic Therapies for Whole-Person Healing

In addition to core counseling services, Wells House offers trauma-informed yoga, art, and music therapy. These experiential approaches promote emotional regulation and self-expression while supporting trauma recovery and stress management. Residents learn practical ways to maintain balance and well-being during early recovery, fostering long-term resilience and self-awareness.

Connection and Purpose in Recovery

Wells House integrates community service as part of the recovery process. Residents volunteer with local organizations, reinforcing a sense of belonging and purpose. The program accepts individuals with or without insurance, including those using Maryland Medicaid or Aetna. With its city-based setting, compassionate staff, and peer-driven environment, Wells House helps residents rediscover dignity, confidence, and connection as they rebuild their lives.
