Questions people ask about Maryland Community Health Initiatives
Is Maryland Community Health Initiatives residential or day treatment?
They provide inpatient residential and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Baltimore is set up for.
Can you detox at Maryland Community Health Initiatives?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Baltimore offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Does Maryland Community Health Initiatives take court ordered treatment?
They take court referrals, which usually means they are used to the reporting side of it. Courts in Baltimore send people to places set up for it rather than to any opening.
What is there in Baltimore that costs nothing?
Baltimore has 67 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.
Does Maryland Community Health Initiatives prescribe buprenorphine or methadone?
They prescribe 2 medications: buprenorphine and naltrexone. What a provider actually stocks changes, so ask for the one you need by name before driving to Baltimore.
Is Maryland Community Health Initiatives an option for someone over 65?
They take older adults as well as young adults from 18 to 25 and adults from 26 to 64. Ask who reviews existing prescriptions, because that is the part that matters most for an older adult in Baltimore.
Is a dual diagnosis treated in one place?
It is normal, it has a name, and there are programs built specifically for it. A diagnosis made during active use often changes once withdrawal is behind somebody. A program that cannot answer these questions is telling you something useful.
Can I get in today?
One program can take somebody today while another in the same town is a month out. The gap between deciding and starting is where most people fall away, so a shorter wait has value of its own. Ask to be put on a cancellation list as well as the main one.
