About Worcester County Health Department – Snow Hill
The Worcester County Health Department, which is located in Snow Hill, Maryland, offers a variety of behavioral health services, environmental health programs, nursing services and prevention programs. Their substance use disorder treatment services include individual and group addiction therapy, an intensive outpatient program (IOP), medicated assisted treatment (MAT) and referral services.
Their MAT program uses medications like buprenorphine, naltrexone, Vivitrol, disulfiram and methadone. These all work in similar ways to reduce cravings and manage withdrawal symptoms so that you’re much less likely to relapse. The clinically driven process gives you the mental health support needed to get through the uncomfortable phases of recovery, while the medication manages the physical effects.
For pregnant or postpartum mothers who are worried about their children being exposed to drugs their Sweet Baby program connects you to resources and treatment programs that help you achieve sober living. They also have a program called LEAD (Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion) which is designed to help those facing substance use disorder who have been or currently are involved within the legal system. While providing substance misuse treatment they can also help mothers and those involved in the justice system find employment, learn important life skills and build supportive communities to lean on in the future.
One of the most fun programs that the Worcester County Health Department runs is called Just Walk. This program encourages people to explore the beautiful parks throughout Worcester County. You can earn prizes like water bottles, phone armbands and sweatshirts by walking enough cumulative miles. This program also hosts community events, giving you a wholesome activity to do with your loved ones or with peers you meet during recovery. One of the most recent events, the Community-Wide Scavenger Hunt, involved visiting a number of different parks and searching for hidden Just Walk sneakers. This program reflects their commitment to helping people in Worcester County build healthy habits and explore their scenic surroundings.
