Confidential • 24/7 intake available
At DruidHillCare—serving individuals from our residential programs at 2140 Druid Hill Avenue, Baltimore, MD—we know that stable housing supports lasting recovery. This page summarizes how we identify housing needs, coordinate referrals, and connect residents and families with community resources. Guiding Recovery. Restoring Hope.
Stable housing is a critical part of long-term recovery for people in treatment for substance use disorders. Completing residential treatment without stable housing can increase risk of relapse, homelessness, hospitalization, or involvement with the criminal justice system.
This overview describes how we identify housing needs and facilitate referrals to appropriate resources during treatment and in discharge planning—supporting transition from residential care to living environments that promote recovery and community reintegration.
Housing instability is a serious barrier to health and recovery. Research shows that stable housing improves mental health outcomes, increases treatment adherence, and reduces hospitalizations.
“Without stable housing, people with mental illness or substance use disorders often cycle through hospitals, jails, and emergency rooms.”
“Permanent supportive housing is associated with reductions in psychiatric symptoms and improved treatment adherence.”
“Housing is a form of healthcare.”
This applies to all residential treatment services we provide at ASAM Levels of Care 3.1, 3.3, and 3.5, and to clinical staff, program coordinators, counselors, case managers, discharge planners, and administrative staff who coordinate care for residents transitioning from residential treatment.
We provide residential treatment but do not ourselves offer permanent housing as a standalone service. We recognize that housing stability is essential to maintaining recovery after residential treatment.
When a resident needs housing or when staff determine that instability could put the resident at risk after discharge, we make reasonable efforts to help identify and access appropriate housing resources—including affiliated and non-affiliated providers, recovery and transitional housing, supportive and affordable programs, and emergency shelter resources—to support continuity of care and stable living conditions.
Housing instability is a significant relapse risk. Leaving residential treatment without stable housing can mean greater exposure to triggers and environments that undermine recovery.
When appropriate, we incorporate housing stability into treatment and discharge planning and work with residents to find living situations that support sobriety, safety, and continued engagement in recovery-oriented services—including recovery housing, sober living, supportive housing, or other arrangements that reduce relapse risk.
Needs may surface during:
Staff assess whether the resident has a safe, stable place to go after residential treatment. If instability is identified, the need is documented and the referral process below is initiated.
The Program Coordinator, Case Manager, or other designated clinical staff work with the resident to identify appropriate resources. This may include:
The goal is to help residents find housing that supports recovery and stability after residential treatment.
When stable housing is necessary for recovery after residential treatment, housing needs are addressed in discharge planning. The Program Coordinator and resident review needs and potential resources.
When referrals are made, the discharge plan may list recommended providers, contact information, transitional or supportive options, recovery or sober living information, and how to access emergency housing if needed. Residents receive referral information before discharge when housing needs have been identified.
Residents in our residential programs may request assistance through their assigned Program Coordinator, Counselor, Case Manager, or other designated clinical staff. Referring professionals, family members, or authorized representatives may also contact our administrative office for help with housing referrals or community resource coordination.
For general questions or to reach our team, call (443) 320-2676 or email info@druidhillcare.com.
If someone is in immediate need of shelter or emergency housing support, staff may share information about emergency resources including 2-1-1 Maryland, which offers 24-hour access to housing and social services statewide. You can dial 211 or use the link in the notice below.
We maintain a directory of community-based housing and recovery resources that may help residents secure stable housing after discharge. It includes affiliated and non-affiliated providers, transitional programs, emergency shelters, affordable housing resources, and recovery housing programs in Baltimore City and surrounding areas.
Inclusion in this directory does not constitute endorsement and does not guarantee placement.

Housing referrals and housing-related discharge planning are documented in the clinical record, which may include:
Documentation supports continuity of care and reflects our efforts to help residents secure stable housing.
We do not operate independent housing programs and cannot guarantee placement. Providers set their own eligibility, admission criteria, and capacity. Our referrals help connect residents with community resources but do not guarantee acceptance into any program.
We are committed to helping residents explore housing options that promote stability, safety, and long-term recovery. Integrating housing referrals into treatment and discharge planning supports reintegration into the community after residential treatment.
Our substance use disorder treatment programs include temporary residential housing during active treatment at ASAM Levels 3.1, 3.3, and 3.5. That housing is integrated with clinical services and provides structured, supervised, recovery-oriented living while participants are engaged in residential treatment.
This housing is not permanent housing and is available only to individuals admitted to and actively participating in the residential program.
In treatment and discharge planning, we assess whether each resident has a safe, stable community residence to return to. When there is no appropriate residence or instability could threaten recovery, we may assist with referrals to recovery, supportive, transitional, or other community-based housing.
Referrals are made only when a need is identified and the resident is not returning to their own stable community residence. Residents are not required to accept any particular referral and may choose housing independently.
Residential properties associated with our programs maintain applicable local housing approvals (such as rental housing licenses or other certifications) where required.
Our team is available 24/7 to listen and help. All calls are confidential.
