They are set up for 2 levels: outpatient and telemedicine. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Towson, 2 offer a bed.

They do not detox. Withdrawal from alcohol or benzodiazepines in particular is a medical event, and the closest place set up for it is in Towson, about a mile away.

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone. Medication and counseling together is the standard of care for opioid use rather than an either or, and not every place near Towson offers both.

They treat adolescents. A program built for a 17 year old is not the same program as the adult one, so ask which of the two they offer in Towson.

They are outpatient. If someone needs to be away from where they are using, Baltimore has the nearest beds, 1.8 miles away.

They offer a program for people dealing with past trauma, which is worth confirming on the call rather than assuming. A named program and one with a place free this month are different things, and Towson has 8 other centers to ask.

Nobody prices this from a listing. It turns on the level of care, the length, and what a plan is willing to approve. The gap between two quotes is often the length of the program rather than the quality of the care. Ask whether detox is included in the figure, because very often it is billed on its own.

The medication review is part of intake, and it is one of the reasons intake asks so many health questions. Any medication you were prescribed by someone else is still their decision until a prescriber at the program takes it over. Ask who to speak to if something needs changing mid program.
