About this Recovery House

Breaking Chains Women's House is a women's sober house in Cambridge, Maryland, in Dorchester County, operated by a certified operator.

A Women's Sober House in Cambridge

Breaking Chains Women's House is the original residence run by Breaking Chains Recovery, which later added a men's house in the same city. The house serves women only, which settles bathrooms, common space, and house meetings around a single-gender household. The specific street address is not published, and applications are handled directly through the operator.

What MCORR Certification Establishes

The operator behind this house is certified through MCORR, Maryland's Certification of Recovery Residence program under COMAR 10.63.08. That commits the operator to a published code of ethics, written fees and rules disclosed before move-in, a written relapse and discharge policy, and an outside complaint process. Maryland does not publish certification levels for any residence.

Recovery Housing in Dorchester County

Cambridge is the seat of Dorchester County and the largest town on Maryland's Lower Eastern Shore, a region where certified recovery housing is harder to find than on the Western Shore. A resident here has access to the county's courts, social services, and outpatient providers without leaving the city.

A Second Breaking Chains House in Cambridge

Breaking Chains Recovery also operates a men's recovery house in Cambridge, giving the organization two certified addresses in one city. A woman referred here who later needs a different arrangement is working with an operator who already runs more than one household in the same community.
