Just a short distance from the C&O Canal in Poolesville, Maryland is Redl House, our therapeutic group home for boys, ages 13 – 17. This rural setting is a ideal location to allow the residents to reconnect to their childhood and to learn how to manage their emotional problems, often stemming from chaotic and dysfunctional backgrounds. The program is built to support the residents to develop a sense of what they want from life and build the skills required to become mature community members. The young men are supervised and cared for 24 hours a day by trained, professional staff. . While at Redl they receive counseling, therapy, substance abuse treatment, medication and psychiatric evaluation and other services to help them grow towards independent adulthood.
