Redl House Boys' Therapeutic Group Home

Just a short distance from the C& O Canal in Poolesville, Maryland is Redl House, our therapeutic group home for boys, ages 12 - 17.  There in a home-like setting the young men are supervised and cared for 24 hours a day by trained, professional staff.  They come with difficult emotional problems , often from chaotic and dysfunctional backgrounds.  While at Redl they receive counseling,  therapy, substance abuse treatment, medication and psychiatric evaluation and other services to help them grow towards independent adulthood.
