ITG Academy

Whole-Person Recovery, Built for Real Life

ITG Academy offers small-group, personalized recovery care to support lasting change in PG County.

Outpatient Substance Use & Reentry Services Rooted in Respect, Dignity, and Results

At In The Gap Academy, we understand that recovery is about more than staying sober. If you’re struggling with substance use, reentry after incarceration, or repeated setbacks in traditional treatment programs, you may be looking for something deeper — a place where you’re seen, supported, and equipped to truly rebuild.

We provide culturally grounded, trauma-informed outpatient care for individuals and families across Maryland. Our approach combines clinical substance use treatment with practical services like housing assistance, job readiness, and life skills development — because recovery doesn’t happen in isolation.

This is treatment that actually works — because it treats the whole person.

Programs Designed for Real-Life Transformation

We provide a full continuum of services, from intensive clinical care to life stabilization support — all rooted in dignity, practical solutions, and long-term impact.

Substance Use Treatment Programs

Our levels of care include Partial Hospitalization (PHP), Intensive Outpatient (IOP), and traditional Outpatient (OP). Each track is personalized and built to meet clients where they are in their recovery journey.

Mental & Emotional Wellness Services

Individual counseling, family therapy, anger management, and peer support help clients process trauma, manage emotions, and improve relationships.

Youth & Family Support

Our Adolescent Program (ages 14+) provides marijuana education, early intervention, and family coaching to interrupt patterns before they escalate.

Justice-Involved & Reentry Support

Returning citizens and court-involved clients receive help with treatment compliance, ID recovery, probation coordination, and long-term reentry planning.

Life & Recovery Skills Training

We help clients build real-world skills — from job readiness and soft skills to budgeting, communication, and self-advocacy.

Housing & Transitional Support

We offer safe, stable housing options and support clients in securing transitional or permanent homes during and after treatment.

Community Education & Partnership

Through workshops, trainings, and provider collaboration, we work to reduce stigma and build recovery-ready communities.

What Sets ITG Apart

When Other Programs Gave Up, We Stepped In

Most clients who come to us have tried other programs — and left feeling judged, dismissed, or stuck. What makes ITG Academy different is that we don’t just treat the symptoms. We treat the systemic barriers holding people back.

This is not a one-size-fits-all program. It’s a tailored experience built around your reality — and what you need to succeed in it.

What to Expect When You Start With ITG

Simple Admissions Process

We’ll help you get started quickly — including verifying insurance, clarifying any court mandates, and building a personalized treatment plan.

Full Assessment of Needs

Structured, Supportive Treatment

You’ll participate in individual counseling, group sessions, skill-building, and practical planning — with flexibility to fit your real-world life.

Transition & Aftercare Planning

You’ll participate in individual counseling, group sessions, skill-building, and practical planning — with flexibility to fit your real-world life.

What to Expect When You Start With ITG

“ITG helped me get my license, a job, and a place to live. But more than that, they helped me believe I deserved a second chance.”

“My son went through ITG’s adolescent program after a marijuana-related incident. We saw a huge change — not just in his choices, but in how we communicate as a family.”

“I was reentering society with nothing. No ID, no job, no stability. They didn’t just help me stay sober — they helped me rebuild my entire life.”

What Sets ITG Apart

You’ve Tried Programs That Didn’t Stick. This One’s Different.

Wraparound Recovery Programs

We go beyond therapy. Our services support every area of life that impacts recovery — housing, employment, transportation, legal compliance, and relationships.

Respect-First, Non-Punitive Approach

We don’t shame or punish people into compliance. We create safe, structured spaces where accountability and growth come from compassion, not control.

Evidence-Based, Culturally Competent Care

Our licensed clinicians and peer mentors specialize in working with underserved communities — including justice-involved individuals, Medicaid recipients, and youth.

Flexible Hybrid Options

Clients can participate in-person or virtually, based on what’s accessible, sustainable, and safe for their life circumstances.

Real Results That Last

Our clients gain stability, secure housing and employment, reconnect with family, and leave equipped with the tools to stay on track — even when life gets hard.

Let’s Take the First Step Together

You don’t have to do this alone. And you don’t have to settle for less. ITG Academy offers treatment that transforms — because we treat the whole person.
