We provide recovery housing for men and women in a caring, family-oriented environment located in beautiful downtown Easton, Maryland.

The Gratitude House has been so successful at providing men with the structure and support needed to achieve recovery the house has had record low turnover and maintains a 96% capacity rate.

After almost a year of providing the means for men on the mid-shore region to recover and become responsible, productive members of society it was clear the organization needed to grow. Men aren’t the only ones in need- women need a Gratitude House, too. The ‘formula’ for success of The Gratitude House for Men is multi-faceted and was translated into The Gratitude House for Women exactly one year later. We are within walking distance to 12 step meetings seven days a week as well as multiple job opportunities and community resources. Our men’s house is fully wheelchair and handicapped accessible.

Requirements
- The Gratitude House is for adults ages 18-64.
- Residents must be addicts that have a desire to remain clean from all mood and mind altering substances.
- Residents must no longer be in danger of going through withdrawal symptoms (preferably having completed treatment or detox).
- Residents must agree to attending 12 step meetings, getting a sponsor, using the sponsor, and working the 12 steps.
- Residents must be willing and able to hold a job for at least 30 hours per week.
- Residents must submit to drug and alcohol testing at will.
- Residents may not be on medications with potential for abuse.
- No violent, sexual, or arson based felony convictions.
- Residents must commit to identifying goals and working to achieve them.
- Residents must want to live in a structured living environment where accountability between both managers and other house members is required.
