Men’s and Women’s Recovery Houses
Voices of Hope operates both a Men’s and a Women’s Recovery House in Elkton, Maryland, which are located within walking distance of one another. We provide structured, wraparound recovery services focused on long-term recovery, holistic wellness, and family reunification. Residents are supported in choosing the recovery path that best fits their needs and work closely with a Peer Recovery Specialist to develop individualized Recovery Plans, set goals, and build healthy, sustainable routines.
Trauma Specialists also engage with residents and their support systems to develop reunification and wellness plans that promote long-term success. All recovery houses operate within a structured environment that emphasizes accountability, consistency, and connection to the recovery community. Our homes are certified through MCORR and accept MDRN funding through Cecil County Health Department Care Coordination, with eligible Maryland Medicaid recipients potentially qualifying for extended support. Residents must be motivated to engage in recovery and follow program guidelines; certain convictions may impact eligibility. To learn more or schedule a tour, please call (443) 993-7055.

Women’s and Children’s Recovery House
Our Voices of Hope Women's and Children's Recovery House, located in Elkton, Maryland, provides a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment for women with children and pregnant women who are beginning their recovery journey. The house can accommodate up to 10 women and their children, creating a community centered on healing, hope, and long-term recovery.
Our program is designed to support both mothers and their children throughout the recovery process while promoting family reunification and stability. Residents are surrounded by compassionate support and connected to essential resources, including recovery services, case management, parenting support, employment assistance, healthcare, and community-based programs.
By helping families build a strong foundation in recovery, our goal is to empower mothers to achieve independent living and create healthy, stable futures for themselves and their children. At Voices of Hope, we believe recovery is stronger when families heal together.
Voices of Hope recently celebrated the Ribbon Cutting and Grand Opening of our Women’s & Children’s Recovery House in Elkton, Maryland, marking a powerful milestone for families in recovery. This event highlighted the importance of safe, supportive housing where mothers and children can heal together, build stability, and begin new chapters surrounded by community support. We are grateful for the overwhelming turnout and encouragement from our community, which reflects the shared commitment to hope, healing, and second chances.
Our Mommy & Me House also enjoyed a meaningful day at Finish Line Farm LLC in Rising Sun, where mothers and children experienced connection, laughter, and healing through hands-on time with animals and outdoor activities. These moments strengthen family bonds and support emotional wellness in recovery, reminding us of the importance of shared experiences in rebuilding trust and connection. Together, these events reflect our mission of restoring families, strengthening community ties, and creating lasting paths toward recovery and independence.
What is a Recovery or Sober House?
A Recovery House is a group living with individuals who are sober and identify as being in recovery. There are many different Recovery Houses in Maryland. It is important to find the right one for you. Some are more structured and have more rules than others. Many people who complete inpatient substance use treatment will enter a Recovery House for some time to get more acclimated to the local recovery community and build new coping skills for long-term recovery.
There are higher and lower levels of care than a VoH Recovery House. Here are some general guidelines to help you plan your next steps. This list does not include everything available and all scenarios:
Inpatient Treatment: with or without detox, this is a higher level of care that includes medical staff and therapists. Inpatient treatment is usually around 30 days.
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP): A high level of care where individuals live in a Recovery Setting and attend therapy and groups every day. This can be weeks or months, depending on a client’s needs and insurance coverage.
3.1 Level of Care: Individuals live in a Recovery Setting with structure. This includes individual and group therapy. Some insurance plans will cover 3 months or more in this setting. This is sometimes referred to as a Halfway House.
Recovery House: A Recovery Setting, some have blackouts (a few days or weeks) where you must stay at the house. Recovery Houses often require outpatient therapy, meetings, and employment or being self-sustaining, within a certain period of time. Some Recovery Houses are run by people in Recovery, like Oxford Houses, where you can stay indefinitely. Some Recovery Houses will allow you to have your children with you, but there may be rules regarding age and the number.
If you would like to talk about the options and find a setting that is right for you, call Voices of Hope at 443-993-7055. We can talk it out with you and help you with referrals.
