This includes counseling, psychiatric services, medication-assisted treatment, group therapy, and rehabilitation programs designed to help individuals achieve and maintain recovery and mental wellness.
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is the most intensive outpatient level — typically 5 days/week for 5–6 hours/day. Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is less intensive — usually 3–4 days/week for 3 hours/session. Standard outpatient is 1–2 sessions per week. A clinical assessment will help determine the right level of care for you.
Yes. Maryland Medicaid covers a broad range of behavioral health services including outpatient mental health, substance use disorder treatment, PRP, and case management. Coverage may vary by your specific Medicaid managed care organization (MCO). Call us to verify your benefits at no cost.
42 CFR Part 2 is a federal law that provides exceptionally strong confidentiality protections for records related to substance use disorder treatment. It means that information about your SUD treatment cannot be shared with most third parties — including employers, law enforcement, and even family members — without your written consent, except in very limited circumstances. This protection is stronger than standard HIPAA.
PRP is a community-based mental health rehabilitation service for adults and minors with serious mental illness (SMI). It focuses on building daily living skills, improving social functioning, supporting medication adherence, and linking individuals to community resources. PRP services are often delivered in clients' homes or community settings and are covered by Maryland Medicaid.
If you or a loved one is experiencing challenges related to substance use, mental health, mood, relationships, work, or daily functioning, it may be time to seek professional support. You don't have to be in crisis to seek help — in fact, early intervention leads to better outcomes. Call us for a no-obligation consultation.
Yes, many of our programs are designed with this in mind. Our IOP and outpatient programs offer flexible scheduling, including evening hours. PHP requires more time commitment during the day. We will work with you to find the right balance of treatment and life responsibilities.
