Allegany County Health Department - BH Services/Joseph S Massie Unit

They offer inpatient hospital, telemedicine and detox. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Cumberland has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

They detox from opioids, alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine and methamphetamines. Coming off opioids without medical supervision can be dangerous, which is why it matters that this is one of 1 places near Cumberland that do it.

They treat adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25. Anyone outside that range is worth a call rather than an assumption, and Cumberland has 8 other centers to try.

They treat people in Sign language as well as English, which not every place around Cumberland does.

One of their programs is built for adult women, which usually means a separate group rather than the same room with a different label, and it is one of the 2 named here.

Bring the list and bring the containers, and expect a prescriber to go through both. Where a program has no prescriber of its own, what you take stays with whoever already manages it. Keep whoever prescribes for you informed rather than assuming a handover happens by itself.

The questions are much the same wherever you call, because every intake line is screening for the same few things. Understating the amount is the most common mistake on that call, and it leads to the wrong level of care being offered. Ask what happens between the call and the first day, and who is responsible for each part.

One removes you from the situation and the other treats you inside it, and that is the whole of the decision. A clinician settles this on risk, history and circumstances, and the assessment is a single appointment. Say plainly who else is in the house and what they are using, because it changes the answer.
