Severn Home in Ellicott City, Maryland offers a comprehensive women-only sober living program structured in five progressive stages. This year-long recovery journey begins with an intensive focus on building recovery foundations through mandatory meetings and activities. As residents advance through the program, they gradually gain more independence, with stage two allowing them to seek employment and connect with the broader recovery community. The middle phases introduce extended curfews and fewer restrictions while maintaining supportive accountability. By stage four, residents must maintain employment as meeting requirements become more flexible. The final stage offers significant autonomy while still encouraging participation in house activities. Throughout all phases, Severn Home maintains accountability through random drug testing and support meetings, while encouraging residents to complement their sober living experience with evidence-based therapy. This structured approach provides women with the graduated support and independence needed to build sustainable recovery skills and confidence for long-term sobriety.
