About Northwest Hospital – Randallstown
Northwest Hospital provides crisis support and a Screening, Brief Intervention and Referral (SBIRT) program to those who need addiction treatment support in Randallstown, Maryland. They also have an inpatient mental health department for adults.
Northwest is part of Lifebridge Health. The hospital accepts a long list of insurance plans, including Medicaid and Medicare. They may be able to set up payment plans if you don’t have insurance.
Northwest Hospital provides limited services for those struggling with substance use. They participate in a regional crisis support program to help those with mental health or addiction emergencies avoid the emergency department.
There’s a crisis phone line that can activate mobile crisis crews to meet you where you are to deescalate the situation, help you reach stability, and connect you to ongoing services. The crisis line can also connect you to same day or next day appointments so you don’t have to go to the emergency room.
The SBIRT program uses peer recovery coaches to connect those who visit the emergency department with treatment options and other community resources. Peer recovery coaches are trained individuals who have been through substance use disorder themselves and are currently in recovery.
I also noticed that Northwest Hospital has a DOVE Domestic Violence Program. Substance use can put people in situations and mindsets that are outside the norm, which can lead to violence.
The hospital provides information to help people recognize abusive behavior. Services include crisis response, court accompaniment, case management, counseling and support groups and connections to social services.
