The work, connected
Two programs. One coordinated team.
A home is the foundation. Therapy, recovery, rehabilitation and work build on it. We bring housing and behavioral health into one conversation, with each person's goals at the center.

A clear first step
Support for every stage of the journey.
You do not have to have every answer before you reach out. We can begin with what is most important to you today.
No two paths look the same. We start by listening, then talk through what may be possible.
Step 1: Reach out
Call (240) 392-2876 or send the contact form. Self, family, provider and agency referrals are all welcome.
Step 2: Intake and assessment
A staff member confirms eligibility and insurance, then completes an assessment of your needs, strengths and goals.
Step 3: Individualized plan
Together with you, the team writes a treatment, rehabilitation or housing plan with clear goals.
Step 4: Services and support
Housing, case management, therapy, psychiatry, rehabilitation, recovery and employment services work as one coordinated team.
Step 5: Review and next steps
Progress is reviewed regularly, and the plan steps up or down in intensity until you can live independently.
