Standing Strong

About Standing Strong

Standing Strong is a sober living operator in Baltimore, Maryland, running certified recovery housing in Baltimore City, with a name that speaks to the resilience its residents are building.

A Baltimore City Recovery Housing Provider

The organization keeps its recovery housing work inside the city, close to Baltimore's outpatient treatment network and public transit.

What MCORR Certification Establishes

Standing Strong is certified under MCORR, Maryland's Certification of Recovery Residence program administered under COMAR 10.63.08. Certification requires a published code of ethics, written disclosure of fees and rules before move-in, a written relapse and discharge policy, and acceptance of outside complaint review. Maryland does not publish certification levels.

Serving Baltimore City

Baltimore City stands apart from the surrounding counties as its own jurisdiction, and it holds the largest concentration of behavioral health and recovery services in the state, including the Johns Hopkins and University of Maryland medical systems.

Reaching Standing Strong

Applications go through the organization directly. Ask about the weekly fee, house rules, and whether staff are on site, since a certified operator has to disclose all three in writing before move-in.
