Maryland Treatment Centers - Avery House

Residential Care for Women, Including Mothers

The house offers long-term residential treatment for adult women, with a unique option for mothers to bring up to two children under age 12 to live with them during care. Beds are provided for children to stay close to their mother. This model allows mothers to engage in recovery without separating from their children, helping maintain family bonds while addressing substance use and mental health needs in a supportive, structured setting. Family therapy is provided.

Trauma-Informed Support

Offering stays ranging from two weeks to three months, with an average stay of one to three months, care is designed to help women recover in a safe, consistent environment. Residents participate in daily activities and therapies that build emotional stability, coping skills, and self-awareness. Staff are trained to understand the impact of past trauma and adapt their approach to individual needs, creating space for residents to rebuild trust, establish structure, and focus on long-term well-being without judgment or pressure.

Financial Flexibility Including Sliding Scale Fees and Grant Options

The house works to reduce financial barriers to treatment by accepting a wide range of insurance plans and offering payment assistance and sliding scale options based on need. Staff are available to help clients understand their coverage, explore funding options, and verify benefits before admission. For residents of Montgomery County, grant support may also be available. This approach ensures that cost is not a limiting factor for women seeking care, making long-term treatment more accessible to individuals and families.

Practical Skills Workshops and Aftercare Planning

Women receive assistance that includes recovery coaching, case management, and skill-building focused on daily schedules, parenting, and interpersonal relationships. Support includes 12-step groups and continues beyond treatment through aftercare planning and connection to community resources. Staff help women navigate housing, employment, and social support systems as needed. The goal is to equip each woman with the tools and confidence to maintain substance-free stability in everyday life.
