About Brookes House
Brooke’s House supports women in Hagerstown, Maryland, as they rebuild their lives after addiction to drugs and alcohol. The center offers both long-term residential care and outpatient treatment for adult women dealing with substance use disorders, including opioid and alcohol dependence. Services include inpatient programming, intensive outpatient programming, outpatient group sessions, and sober living, giving residents access to a complete set of recovery options in a supportive, women-focused environment.
The treatment team relies on evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and motivational interviewing. Alongside these clinical methods, the program incorporates holistic activities like equine therapy, wellness programs, and acudetox or ear acupuncture to help reduce stress and strengthen overall well-being. Each participant follows an individualized plan, attends consistent one-on-one sessions, and can join peer support groups such as AA and NA to maintain connection and progress.
Life at Brooke’s House is designed to feel calm and secure, like a welcoming home. Residents typically share rooms, receive prepared meals, and benefit from transportation arrangements for medical and dental appointments. The on-site program also includes GED instruction, job readiness support, and opportunities through social enterprise placements. A therapy dog named Bella is part of daily life, offering comfort and companionship. After completing residential care, women may transition to sober living and flexible outpatient services to continue building stability and long-term recovery.
