Suburban Hospital - Behavioral Health Services

They provide inpatient hospital and detox. The nearest alternative is in Rockville, 2.9 miles away, if you want something to compare it against.

They handle detox for alcohol and benzodiazepines. Ask how many days theirs lasts, because that varies more between places than people expect and Bethesda has 8 other centers to compare.

One of their programs is built for veterans, which usually means a separate group rather than the same room with a different label, and it is one of the 11 named here.

8 other centers are within about 14 miles, the nearest of them under a mile away in Bethesda.

They treat both. A diagnosis left untreated while the substance use is treated is the usual reason a first attempt does not hold, and Rockville is the nearest place to try instead if this one does not fit.

Mandated treatment is ordinary treatment with reporting attached, and many centers take court referrals as a matter of course. A program that is not approved by the relevant court will not satisfy the order, however good it is. Check whether the program is approved for your specific order before enrolling in it.

They normally continue, and a prescriber at the program reviews the whole list on arrival. A prescribed sedative is the usual complication and needs a plan built around it. Call (844) 822-5800 if a specific prescription is the thing making this complicated.

The useful question is not whether a plan covers treatment but which level of care it will approve. A plan can approve the detox and then decline the residential stay that was meant to follow it. Ask whether the center bills your plan directly or expects you to claim it back afterward.
