What happens if someone uses, and is there testing?
Every house is substance-free. The testing policy, and what follows a return to use, are not published here. Ask about both on your first call or text to 443-223-7403, before you choose a house.
Is Severn Home treatment?
No.
Severn Home is housing, not treatment. We encourage every resident to keep working with outside providers, whether that is a private therapist, an outside intensive outpatient program or another evidence-based option, and to stay connected to a recovery fellowship.
If you or a loved one need treatment, start with findtreatment.gov or the SAMHSA hotline at 1-800-662-4357.

Some people search for this as a halfway house. Severn Home is sober living: gender-specific houses for adults in recovery, with house rules and no medical or clinical services.
Questions about sober living
Sober living is structured, substance-free housing for adults in recovery. Residents live together under clear house expectations, keep working their program, and rebuild daily life with accountability around them. It is housing and community, not clinical treatment.
