Brooke’s House helps women recover from drug and alcohol addiction through long-term residential and
outpatient treatment in Hagerstown, Maryland. The program supports adult women with substance use disorders, including opioid and alcohol misuse. With options like inpatient care,
IOP, outpatient groups, and sober living, Brooke’s House provides a full range of recovery services in a caring, women-centered setting.
The program uses proven therapies like
cognitive behavioral therapy (
CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (
DBT), and motivational interviewing. It also blends holistic supports like equine therapy, wellness activities, and acudetox or ear acupuncture to ease stress and improve well-being. Each woman gets her own treatment plan, regular one-on-one sessions, and access to recovery groups like AA and NA for lasting community support.
Women live in a warm, home-like space designed to feel safe and peaceful. Rooms are shared, and meals are provided. Transportation is arranged for medical and dental visits. On-site programs include GED classes, job readiness, and social enterprise placements. A therapy dog named Bella offers comfort and connection. After treatment, women can continue with sober living and flexible outpatient support to keep building their new life.
