University of Maryland Medical Center

The University of Maryland Medical Center, on South Green Street in Baltimore, MD, offers behavioral health and substance abuse programs that are designed to help people with addiction.

The behavioral health program tackles a spectrum of mental health disorders such as depression, stress, bipolar disease and schizophrenia. They provide therapy, medication management and maintenance owners with their specialists offering mental health professionals. They aims to give patients the resources to take control over their lives, arming them with whatever coping mechanisms they need.

The Center offers a comprehensive substance abuse treatment program in addition to their behavioral health services. This program was created to aid people currently suffering from addiction with scientific evidence based treatments. The ultimate goal of the program is to facilitate recovery using individual and group therapy while also incorporating a plan for relapse prevention. Not only does their treatment approach address the physical side of addiction but also the psychological, meaning patients are treated as whole persons.

Patients can continue on their journey of recovery and get the support they need in an outpatient setting, which enables them to focus on other things at the same time. Staff also work closely with patients to develop personalized treatment plans that support long term recovery and offer ongoing support for relapse prevention.
