About this Recovery House

Shaw House is a sober living home in Hagerstown, Maryland, in Washington County, one of four houses operated by Ladders To Leaders.

A Structured Sober House in Hagerstown

Shaw House runs under Ladders To Leaders' standard structure: five twelve-step meetings a week with at least three attended in person, a sponsor, assigned chores and periodic toxicology testing. No street address is published for the house; placements go through the operator directly.

What Certification by MCORR Establishes

Shaw House is operated by a certified operator. Ladders To Leaders carries Maryland Certification of Recovery Residences for two of its houses, requiring a written code of ethics, disclosed fees and rules, and a documented relapse and discharge policy.

Recovery Housing in Western Maryland

Hagerstown sits near the junction of I-70 and I-81, the seat of Washington County and the commercial hub of Western Maryland. That location puts county courts, the health department and regional employers within easy reach of a house based in the city.

Applying to Shaw House

Applications route through Ladders To Leaders itself, not to the house directly. Ask whether Shaw House is one of the operator's two certified addresses, what the weekly requirements look like day to day, and how a transfer to Summit, CCR or Hopewell House works if the fit is wrong.
