Currently For Men
True Abode serves as a vital bridge between treatment and a fully independent life. We provide the stable environment needed to navigate the challenges of recovery while building a sustainable, drug-free lifestyle.
Deborah Oakley Anderson is the founder of True Abode Sober Living Home in Baltimore, Maryland. As the youngest of five siblings, she saw firsthand how substance use can trap families in a cycle of denial and relapse. That experience inspired her to create a different outcome — one built on structure, support, and genuine accountability.
True Abode offers structured sober living for men, including those re-entering society and individuals recovering from substance use or behavioral health challenges. To help residents stay safe and accountable, everyone agrees to clear house rules, including initial and random urinalysis testing, and residents are encouraged to attend AA or NA meetings.
To provide a safe, structured, and supportive environment where individuals in recovery can build a foundation of hope, health, and purpose on their journey to lasting sobriety.
We envision a world where every person in recovery has the chance to thrive in a compassionate, connected community, free from stigma and full of lifelong possibilities.
Every resident is treated as an individual with worth and potential.
We create a safe, clean, calm, and supportive space where people feel connected.
Whether checking in with house rules, attending meetings, or supporting one another.
A consistent, safe environment — routine, stable housing, and clear expectations.
True Abode gave me the structure I desperately needed. After years of instability, having a safe place with clear expectations helped me stay sober and focus on my goals.
I never felt like I belonged anywhere until I came to True Abode. The community here is like a family: people care, listen, and hold me accountable.
The staff at True Abode understood exactly what I was going through. Their support helped me successfully re-enter society with confidence and hope for the future.
Whether you're ready to take the next step or just have questions about our sober living program, we'd love to hear from you. No pressure, no judgments — just support.
