Hope House Treatment Centers

What Hope House Treatment Centers does

Hope House Treatment Centers is a Maryland-based non-profit residential and outpatient substance use disorder (SUD) treatment organization operating under parent entity Addiction Recovery, Inc. (ARI). Founded in 1983 by Robert Hartge, the organization has operated for 40+ years from a 970-acre campus at the former Crownsville Hospital Center in Crownsville, Maryland, with a secondary outpatient facility in Laurel. Hope House can treat up to 86 individuals at any given time across three facilities, providing a continuum of care that includes medically supervised withdrawal management (3-10 days), residential inpatient care, intensive outpatient programs, standard outpatient care, family education, and specialized services for problem gambling, liver transplant candidates, and DWI/DUI offenders. The clinical model integrates FDA-approved medication-assisted treatment (Sublocade, Vivitrol, Brixadi, Naltrexone, Suboxone/Zubsolv) with cognitive behavioral therapy, peer support, and complementary therapies such as Acudetox acupuncture, therapeutic yoga, art therapy, and meditation.

The business model is multi-payer and primarily transactional/reimbursement-based. Hope House is in-network with all major Maryland commercial insurers (Aetna, CareFirst, Carelon, Cigna-Evernorth, Johns Hopkins EHP, Kaiser Permanente, Tricare, United Healthcare), holds BlueCross BlueShield Blue Distinction Centers designation, and importantly, the majority of clients use Maryland Medicaid. Self-pay and donations through the 'Got Hope?' campaign provide supplemental revenue. Go-to-market is a hybrid direct-admissions (24/7 phone intake) plus community-led referral model drawing from healthcare providers, local health departments, crisis intervention teams, legal professionals, homeless outreach providers, recovery centers, and veterans organizations. The organization is CARF accredited and Maryland State Department of Health certified, with recent significant leadership turnover (2023-2024) including the retirement of longtime Executive Director Peter D'Souza and appointment of new CEO leadership.
