South County Addiction Clinic

They provide outpatient and telemedicine. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Crownsville is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Annapolis, about a mile away.

They work in 1 language beyond English: Sign language. Ask whether the group sessions in Annapolis are in it too, or only the one to one ones.

Yes. They offer a program for pregnant and postpartum clients, which is one of 2 named programs here.

They prescribe methadone, buprenorphine and naltrexone. Methadone in particular is dispensed under rules that differ from the others, so confirm it before traveling into Annapolis.

Anything a program will put in writing is easier to compare than anything it only says on a call. Whoever answers the phone is not always whoever operates the program, because referral services are common in this field. Call (844) 822-5800 if you would rather have someone else do the comparing.

Somebody works through a short list: the substance, the amount, the history, the insurance. Understating the amount is the common mistake, and it leads to the wrong level of care being offered. It is fine to say you are only gathering information.

Inpatient is the higher level of care, and higher is not automatically better for everyone. Intensive outpatient care at several hours a day is closer to a residential program than to a weekly appointment. Ask what happens if the level you start at turns out to be the wrong one.
