Sheppard Pratt Integrated Behavioral Health at GBMC – Owings Mills

Sheppard Pratt Integrated Behavioral Health at GBMC is a collaborative care effort between Sheppard Pratt and the Greater Baltimore Medical Center. The collaboration provides behavioral health services, including substance use disorder (SUD) treatment, to clients through their regular primary care offices. This facility in Owings Mills, Maryland is one of those offices. The behavioral health treatment programs accept insurance from many of the major insurance providers as well as Medicaid and Medicare.

Owings Mills is in Baltimore County and is a suburb of Baltimore. The city offers a suburban and urban mix and is just 20 miles north of Baltimore. This primary care office in Owings Mills has psychiatrists, substance use experts, licensed social workers, and behavioral health experts on the care team. They offer outpatient services to young adults and adults.

The team includes behavioral health care managers (BHCMs) who coordinate with your primary health care providers. Together they provide customized care plans to address the needs of each client. The BHCMs support you in the way that works best for you, including by phone, video chats, or in person appointments.

The collaborative care treatment model allows physicians to offer many types of mental health treatment, including help for clients with co occurring mental health disorders and SUD, called dual diagnosis. Although the dual diagnosis program isn’t offered at the Owings Mills location, your BHCM can refer you to the nearest treatment center which is less than 30 minutes away.

The SUD programs include outpatient detoxification which uses medication assisted treatment (MAT). Clients receive ongoing therapy and support, including individual, group, and family therapy. Clients in treatment are required to attend self help or 12 step meetings, an important step in building a sober support system.

There’s a six week Drug and Alcohol Education program that satisfies the requirements of the Maryland court. The program is for clients involved in the criminal justice system, usually due to a DWI or DUI.
