The Family Recovery Program, Inc. was originally created in August 2005, by private philanthropic partners including the Abell Foundation, the Baltimore Community Foundation, and the Annie E. Casey Foundation, along with the Maryland State Departments of Budget and Management, Human Resources, and the Governor’s Office of Children, joined with the Safe and Sound Campaign and the Family League of Baltimore City. This nationally recognized program provides parents with the substance abuse treatment they need and a full range of supportive services, including mental health care, transportation, housing assistance, and case management support. Services are tailored to meet the needs of parents who are often in crisis and unable to move forward without intensive, ongoing help.

The Family Recovery Program’s goal is to reduce the time target children spend in out-of-home placements by providing intensive substance abuse treatment services and judicial oversight administered by the Juvenile Court of Baltimore City to the parents of the children. The Family Recovery Program is able to achieve its goal because successful parents who maintain sobriety are more likely to be reunified with their children. The children of unsuccessful parents are more likely to enter into alternative permanent placements (e.g. Adoption or Custody and Guardianship).
