About this Recovery House
Stella's House is a sober living home in Annapolis, Maryland, in Anne Arundel County. The property on Marda Lane houses several separate residences under one roster: three for women and two for men, run as one program spread across five separate houses.
A Coed Campus of Separate Men's and Women's Houses
The arrangement at Stella's House sets it apart from most single-building sober houses. Men and women live in distinct houses on the same property, each with its own house rules, meetings and common space, while sharing one address and one management team. Someone comparing options gets the structure of single-gender housing without losing the convenience of one shared campus.
Peer-Based Recovery Housing on Marda Lane
The program describes itself as a peer-based recovery environment, aiming to give residents a stable, sober place to live with peer support built in. Marda Lane sits in a residential pocket of Annapolis, and residents typically pursue outpatient treatment, meetings and work off site while the house itself supplies the housing and accountability.
What Maryland's MCORR Certification Covers
Stella's House LLC holds Maryland's recovery residence certification. The state's MCORR program, run by the Behavioral Health Administration, lists the operator with five certified homes in Anne Arundel County. A certified operator commits in writing to a code of ethics, discloses fees and rules before move-in, and accepts an outside complaint process. Maryland does not require the credential unless a residence takes state funds or advertises itself as certified, so an operator that carries it has chosen the oversight.
Recovery Housing in Annapolis and Anne Arundel County
Annapolis is both the county seat of Anne Arundel County and the state capital, giving residents access to state offices, the county circuit court and a concentration of outpatient providers within a short distance of Marda Lane. Anne Arundel Medical Center and the county's own recovery support programs sit inside the same city, and Annapolis Transit's local routes reach most of the corridor between the historic district and West Street.
Applying to Stella's House
Applications go directly through Stella's House. The practical questions are the ones that apply to any coed sober living campus: which specific house a resident would join, what separates the fee structure between the men's and women's sides, and how the program handles a resident who needs to change houses. Reaching the program directly is the only way to get current answers, since a campus this size changes its house assignments as residents move in and out.
Sober living homes are group residences for people who are recovering from addiction. In most instances, people who live in sober homes have to follow certain house rules and contribute to the home by doing chores. Most importantly, residents must stay sober throughout their stay in the home.
