About Us
Our mission is to break the generational cycle of substance use disorder, empowering and arming individuals with the necessary tools to navigate their recovery process, freeing them from the shackles of addiction
Welcome to The Jude House, Inc.
Welcome to The Jude House
The Jude House is a dedicated Recovery Community Organization committed to providing long-term support for individuals seeking healing and transformation. Our comprehensive services encompass residential and outpatient treatment, sober living, and community education, all tailored to meet the diverse needs of various populations.
With a team of compassionate, trauma-informed clinicians, we specialize in serving men ages 18 to 65, particularly those transitioning from the Maryland Criminal Justice System. We also operate a sober living home that serves women and children, reflecting our commitment to inclusive, family-centered recovery.
As a CARF-accredited program, we are proud to offer evidence-based care that fosters recovery, rehabilitation, and reintegration. At The Jude House, we believe in second chances, dignity, and the power of community to restore hope.

The meaning behind our logo...
The logo of Jude House showcases a prominent tree in the backdrop, with two distinct paths leading up to it, a creation by patients and staff. In 2014, a group of motivated patients collaborated with staff to establish the "Meditation area" beneath the shelter of two large oak trees on the premises. This serene spot, known as the meditation tree, serves as a sanctuary for growth, self-reflection, and making commitments.
​
The left side of the logo portrays muted colors and a somber atmosphere, while the right side displays vibrant hues symbolizing hope. This design signifies the dual nature of addiction – the struggle of active addiction versus the journey of recovery. The meditation tree is adorned with stones representing remembrance, loss, hope, and success in the battle against addiction.
Patients who spend time under the branches of our program and the meditation tree are encouraged to dedicate themselves to achieving successful recovery.
Emerging from treatment at Jude House, our patients exhibit brightness, creativity, strong family bonds, hope, and a wealth of opportunities. Our aim is to guide every individual towards a colorful path of recovery, provided they are sincere, open, and ready to embrace recovery as the cornerstone of their lives.

The Little Red Wagon
There are three things you can do with a wagon. You can push it, pull it, or ride along in the middle. The Jude house is here to help pull people up so that they may one day lead their own wagons in life. There are many that can push from the back to help too - they are often the real horsepower! Coasting in the middle is necessary at times as well so that you can catch your breath before pushing or pulling again, but remember too much time coasting creates too much dead weight. Rather it is the little red wagon of recovery or the little red wagon of a non-profit like the Jude House - it takes great teamwork to make things happen in a way that we get the plane on the runway and make it fly!
