ITG Academy
Whole-Person Recovery,
Built for Real Life
ITG Academy offers small-group, personalized recovery care to support lasting change
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.

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.
A client without an ID can’t get a job — so we help them get their documents.
A parent facing eviction can’t focus on therapy — so we offer housing support.
A teenager struggling with weed isn’t “non-compliant” — they’re overwhelmed, and we teach them tools they can actually use.
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
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
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.
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.
