Frequently Asked Questions
How long can I stay at ACV Residences?
There is no fixed length of stay. Most residents remain between 6 and 18 months. We work with each person individually based on their recovery progress and goals.
Do you accept referrals from treatment centers or courts?
Yes. We work closely with outpatient programs, inpatient facilities, drug courts, and social service agencies throughout Maryland. Referrals are welcome.
What are the program fees?
Fees are charged weekly and vary by room type. We are transparent about costs from the first conversation. Limited financial assistance may be available — ask us about it.
Can I have visitors?
Yes, within house guidelines. Visitors are welcome during designated hours. We ask that all guests respect the sober environment of the home.
What if I relapse?
Our first priority is your safety. We handle each situation individually and compassionately. In some cases, a brief return to treatment followed by re-entry is the right path.
