Foundations Recovery House Women's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Foundations Recovery House is a women's recovery residence in Easton, Maryland, the seat of Talbot County. Easton is the commercial center of Maryland's Mid Shore, east of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge on the Upper Eastern Shore, where US-50 runs down toward the Choptank River and the lower counties.

A Women's Sober House in Easton

This is a women's house, run by an Eastern Shore operator that keeps residences in Easton and in Chestertown to the north. Single-gender housing settles the questions that a mixed household leaves open: bathrooms, house meetings and common space are women's space, and one set of expectations covers everyone living there. Women's recovery beds on the Eastern Shore are scarcer than men's, and a certified women's residence in the region's largest town serves a catchment that runs well past Talbot County.

What Maryland Certification Establishes for This Recovery Home

The house is operated by a certified operator, credentialed through Maryland Certification of Recovery Residences. Under the state's regulations a certified residence commits to a published code of ethics, written disclosure of fees and house rules before move-in, a written policy covering relapse and discharge, and a complaint process that runs outside the house. Maryland requires certification only of residences that take state funds or hold themselves out as certified, so an operator carrying it has taken on an obligation it was free to decline. That choice is the most checkable thing on this listing.

Recovery Housing on the Upper Eastern Shore

Easton holds the services the Mid Shore runs on: the Talbot County Circuit Court, the county health department, the regional hospital, the library and the largest concentration of retail and hospitality employment between the Bay Bridge and Salisbury. Chestertown, where the operator keeps a second residence, sits about an hour north in Kent County. Women moving between those two towns stay inside one operator's network and one stretch of the Shore, which keeps a job, a sponsor and a caseworker in place through a move.

How Placement Works at This Recovery Residence

The street address is not published, and placement runs through the operator's director, who holds a Maryland peer recovery credential and more than eighteen years of personal recovery experience. Applications go to the organization directly. The questions worth asking are the practical ones: what the weekly fee is and what it covers, whether a house manager lives on site, how many women share a bedroom, whether medication for opioid use disorder is accepted, what the house expects about work or school in the first thirty days, and what happens after a relapse. A certified residence answers all six in writing before anyone signs.
