University of Maryland Medical Center - Center for Addiction Medicine

They provide outpatient, telemedicine and detox, which is the whole of what this address in Baltimore is set up for.

They detox from opioids, alcohol and benzodiazepines, so the first stage and the treatment after it can happen in one place rather than across two trips to Baltimore.

They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in Baltimore often still has to be in person.

Baltimore has 46 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.

They take mandated treatment. What paperwork the court wants back is between you and whoever ordered it, and Baltimore has 8 other centers if the dates do not work.

The list comes with you and gets reviewed. Nothing on it should change on a policy rather than a prescription. A prescribed benzodiazepine or opioid painkiller is the usual complication, and it needs a plan rather than a rule. Any change to what you take is a conversation with a prescriber, never a decision from a page like this.

Programs are commonly sold in blocks of 28 or 30 days, 60 days and 90 days, with outpatient care lasting longer and lighter. Aftercare has no end date, and it is the part that runs alongside ordinary life. Ask what the program does when somebody needs more time than the block allows.

The practical question is not severity but what you go home to each night. Partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient fill the gap, with several hours of treatment a day and your own bed at night. Ask what the step down from residential care looks like at that center.
