Our Professional Association's History
In 1977, John Bland, Director of Maryland Alcohol Control Administration met with the
Directors of the Friendship, Pathfinders, Pilot, Samaritan & Gale, Halfway House
Programs, suggesting the formation of an association to speak as a united voice for
all Halfway Houses.
After several meeting, by-laws were written & the group incorporated under the name

to Maryland Association of Alcohol and Drug Continuing Care Facilities, to better
reflect the services provided by our members.
