About Martha’s Place – Baltimore
Martha’s Place is a residential recovery program for women overcoming substance abuse and homelessness. The facility borders Baltimore’s communities of Sandtown-Winchester and Upton in Maryland. They offer long-term single-room occupancy housing. Each client enjoys a private bedroom with shared living rooms, dining rooms and bathrooms. Laundry facilities and outdoor gardens are also available. The latter provides a calming space for reflection, stress relief and connection with nature. This supports mental and emotional wellbeing during recovery.
The facility is safe and very conducive to recovery. It’s the ideal structured recovery setting where women can learn to maintain sobriety while building life skills for independent living. The program involves various supportive services like addiction counseling, case management and wellness workshops. Counseling helps you address the underlying cause of your substance abuse and develop coping strategies.
The program also includes life skills training, money management and employment assistance. These allow you to establish a greater sense of independence and empowerment. The program alumni known as Martha’s Angels represent an essential voice of advocacy that provides emotional support and mentorship and serves as role models to clients in recovery. They also offer support and outreach to other women struggling with addiction.
What I find fascinating and very helpful in this residential program is their wellness workshops. This hour-long session is held every Wednesday to support and improve residents’ mental health and physical wellbeing. The activities range from spiritual health to financial wellness, computer skills and garden yoga. Comments from past clients reflect an overwhelmingly impressive service offering.
