In this community of hope, they’ll be welcomed into a loving, homelike environment where they can rest and begin the recovery process. Women will receive services and support that empower them to rebuild their lives and experience true transformation.
For moms with little ones, our Center for Women & Children offers women, pregnant women, and new moms with infants a safe, secure home in individual family suites. Here, they can experience physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual healing – while taking advantage of loving care and resources to help them rebuild their lives from the inside out. As their lives are restored to wholeness and self-sufficiency, they learn how to be better parents, families are healed, and entire communities are strengthened as the bonds of generational poverty and addiction are broken.
Spiritual Recovery Program
Comprehensive treatment for women fighting addiction and homelessness
Our 12-month Spiritual Recovery Program for women has four distinct phases. Women progress through each phase at their own pace, receiving individualized care from a treatment counselor who coordinates and monitors their progress through every phase of the program.
PHASE 1 – DISCOVERY (Days 1 – 60)
During this initial phase, women detach from outside distractions to acclimate to the day-to-day activities of the program. They begin recovery and trauma healing groups and develop the commitment needed for long-term recovery.
PHASE 2 – GROWTH (Days 61 – 150)
In this second phase, women work toward goals in five key metrics of success:
1. Committed to sobriety
2. Introduced to spiritual development
3. Renewed in emotional and physical wellness
4. Restored to relationships
5. Re-integrated into the community
PHASE 3 – TRANSFORMATION (Days 151 – 275)
During this third phase, women focus on three critical areas for recovery success:
1. Inner healing, including addressing destructive patterns and making amends
2. Discipleship, including exploring their gifts, talents, and life purpose
3. Job readiness facilitated by Helping Up Mission’s Workforce Development Program, with the goal of achieving sustainable living wages
PHASE 4 – LIFE PREPARATION (Days 276 – 365)
During the final phase, women further their recovery by giving back to the program’s community. They attend leadership classes, assist staff, and assume leadership roles and responsibilities with other residents, along with seeking outside employment and educational opportunities.
GRADUATION
After graduating from Phase 4, women continue to be supported through residential or non-residential Graduate Supportive Housing. They receive assistance with housing and other critical areas and are assessed monthly to ensure their successful transition back to independent living.
Each Friday, we celebrate the graduates of our Spiritual Recovery Program at our weekly chapel.

CAP Partnership
Johns Hopkins Bayview operates a Comprehensive Addiction and Pregnancy (CAP) program that provides outpatient services and programming for pregnant women with substance use disorders. Through this CAP partnership, Helping Up Mission offers pregnant and postpartum women the resources they need to care for themselves and their babies in a homelike environment where they can begin to heal through counseling, clinical and medical services, spiritual support, and more.
If you or someone you know is pregnant and looking for help, call our 24-hour hotline at 410-929-6999.
Veteran’s Services
In 2011, HUM established a partnership with the Department of Veterans Affairs to address the needs of homeless veterans in Greater Baltimore. We are honored to serve these American heroes and provide short-term transitional housing as we help them secure permanent housing. These men and women may elect to transition to the Spiritual Recovery Program, where other veterans are also returning to wholeness.
If you or someone you know is a veteran in need of help, please call the Assistant Director of Programs, Rasheed Savage, at 410-675-7500, ext. 1154, or email him at rsavage@helpingup.org for more information.
Next Step Program
In partnership with local healthcare institutions, we’re providing additional care to assist patients in their recovery. The Next Step Program provides local hospitals with a safe, stable residential facility to refer patients who need additional or ongoing care, but do not need to be in a costly hospital bed. The goal is to help patients take the next step in the process of their recovery journey.
