VA Maryland Healthcare System

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

No detox here. A center can still take someone after a detox elsewhere, which is the common order of events, and the nearest one is 4.1 miles away in Havre de Grace.

They treat mental health alongside the substance use, so both sides are handled in one place. Ask whether the psychiatric side is on site, because in Perry Point that is the part that varies.

They have a program for veterans. Ask whether the group is veterans only, because for a lot of people that is the point of it and in Perry Point it may be mixed.

They do video appointments, which matters if Perry Point is a drive for you.

Being sent rather than choosing to go changes the paperwork more than it changes the treatment. Whether a program satisfies a particular order is a question for the court or the officer rather than for the center alone. Tell the program about the deadline in the order at the start, not near it.

Lengths vary by level of care more than by center, and outpatient is the long one. The first two weeks are usually the most intensive part of whatever you choose. Ask what the longest and the shortest version of this program looks like.

Residential care means time away. Outpatient care usually does not. Colleges handle this through a medical leave process, which normally leaves a better record than an incomplete semester. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can look for a program that fits around your hours.
