About Urban Counseling Institute – Marlow Heights
Urban Counseling Institute provides substance abuse counseling to adults facing addiction. They’re based in Temple Hills, Maryland, one mile from the Iverson Mall. They are also on the bus line. The Institute also has an emergency intake service to provide immediate help if you’re in trouble. It’s worth noting that they only accept Maryland Medicaid insurance, so if you’re with a different provider you’ll have to self-pay. If payment is an issue, they can provide referrals to financial help.
The team encourages you to be involved as they design your treatment plan. They believe this helps you stay motivated and engaged with your recovery. Their substance use disorder (SUD) treatment program includes individual and group counseling. Often, substance use has additional effects in your life that need to be addressed from multiple angles. The Urban Counseling Institute coordinates your care to help you heal and grow in as many areas as possible. That might mean working on root trauma or healing relationships with loved ones. It may also mean getting help stabilizing your finances and getting back on your feet.
As their name suggests, they focus their care on those in urban environments who wouldn’t typically get the chance to attend SUD counseling. They offer additional services as well, such as an anger management program and a court ordered DWI/DUI program. They also have case management and can refer you to community resources to help you with housing, education, finding work, getting basic necessities and more. They’ve made it their mission to create accessible care for everyone.
