Hoffa Foundation Sykesville

HOFFA Foundation runs a sober living house for men who have finished residential rehabilitation and need structure as they move back into work, family and ordinary routines. The house is located between Baltimore and Washington, D.C., and many residents come from Carroll County. It opened in 2019 and focuses on men rebuilding steady lives after treatment. HOFFA Foundation Sykesville is one of 422 SAMHSA-listed facilities in Maryland that appear in the federal FindTreatment.gov listings.

The care model is practical rather than clinical. Men receive support for mental wellness and physical health alongside help preparing for employment, and the foundation also operates a helpline for people in addiction-related crises. Community sports events and coffee sales under the HOFFA Beans label raise money that goes back into job training and other services that keep the sober living program running. HOFFA stands for Healing Opportunity Free From Addiction.

Hoffa Foundation Sykesville

Sober living is the core of what this Sykesville center offers, and it is designed for men who have completed residential rehabilitation and are ready for a structured next stage rather than a fresh start. The foundation describes a program of roughly 30 days that addresses substance use and accompanying mental health concerns together, with a plan shaped around each resident. Men's sober living at this Carroll County house pairs daily structure with co-occurring mental health support for people who have already finished residential care.

The program is gender-specific and the setting is men only. In addition to recovery support, men focus on employment readiness and the practical side of re-entry, which matters when someone is preparing to hold a job and stay accountable to a household. Anyone weighing whether this level of care fits should remember that sober living is not detox. When heavy drinking or benzodiazepine use has recently stopped, a clinician should assess the person first, since stopping benzodiazepines or alcohol May turn hazardous and requires medical oversight.

Who the program is built for

• Men who have completed residential rehabilitation and want a structured sober living step
• Men dealing with alcohol use or drug use who also need support for dual diagnosis care
• Men from Carroll County and the surrounding Baltimore and Washington, D.C. area
• Men preparing to return to work who want employment counseling and professional re-entry support
• Men looking for a gender-specific, men-only setting with air-conditioned rooms and a fitness center

How long, where, and what languages

The foundation describes a common program length of about 30 days. The house is a men-only setting with air-conditioned rooms and a fitness center on site. Support is offered in English. At this Sykesville location, the 30-day program leaves room for both recovery meetings and job search time. Because sober living placements turn over quickly, the helpline can help a caller confirm what is open right now rather than relying on a listing alone.

Paying for sober living at this center

The foundation mentions cash pay rates as one of its payment selections. SAMHSA-listed programs in Maryland differ widely in which insurance they bill, so cost is a question to settle by phone before anyone packs. Cash pay rates are listed, and Maryland Medicaid acceptance is unconfirmed, so call the center to verify coverage before making any commitment. The helpline is not itself a treatment provider and does not quote prices; its advisors can help a caller ask the center directly about current rates and whether a health plan applies. If a plan is involved, verifying coverage with the center and the insurer before admission avoids surprises later.

Worth asking before admission

• What is the current weekly or monthly rate, and what does it include
• Does the house require proof of completed residential treatment before moving in
• How are co-occurring mental health needs handled, and who provides that support
• What a normal day involves such as employment and re-entry expectations
• What happens if a resident relapses, and what aftercare follows discharge
