The Haven at UMBC will provide clinical assistance and social support in order to honor the story of each individual related to substance abuse and support them in living a new narrative. Programs include:
- The Haven Recovery Residence, a unique “sober living” residential community for students in abstinence-based recovery, launches August 2019 in Catonsville. The Haven Recovery Residence is a peer-led, clinically supervised residential community where students help each other navigate sobriety, identifying with each other’s challenges, and sharing successes – while succeeding in college.
- The Haven Outpatient Center will open in October 2019 in a separate location in Catonsville. The outpatient center will provide students with evidence-based Intensive Outpatient and Outpatient treatment programs to help them address substance use issues in a safe and relatable space while staying engaged in their college experience. Treatment programs are covered by most insurance and are conveniently scheduled in late afternoons, evenings, and weekends to accommodate busy student academic schedules. The center will include a student-designed coffee lounge for studying, meeting friends, and hanging out in a safe and judgement-free space. All UMBC students, faculty, staff, alumni, and families are welcome to attend the weekly student-led recovery meetings, social events, and mindfulness activities that will be hosted here each week.
- Customizable mentoring and monitoring programs are available to provide peer mentoring and support, weekly individual counseling, drug testing, group support, and family counseling/communication.
