About Allcare Treatment Services
Allcare Treatment Services is a community focused outpatient substance use treatment clinic in Glen Burnie, Maryland. They provide low cost treatment for adults dealing with opioid dependence. They primarily offer methadone maintenance and detox. They even provide guest dosing services.
The facility is located about 10 miles South of Baltimore. That's roughly 15 to 20 minutes driving through I-97 when coming from downtown Baltimore. It’s also well connected by the Baltimore Light RailLink and bus routes. Even if you’re using public transportation you’ll find the location easily. Folks from Annapolis, Severn and Crofton can also get to the facility without hassles.
Your recovery journey in this facility begins with a substance use assessment and physical evaluation. This assessment forms the basis of your personalized treatment plan by their clinicians. They can provide referrals to other community providers if necessary. They may first carry out methadone detox followed by methadone maintenance.
Methadone detox involves gradually lowering your methadone dose to help ease withdrawal symptoms. It lets you safely transition off opioids while managing cravings and discomfort. The process is designed to stabilize you. That way, you can stop using opioids without severe withdrawal effects. The clinicians will taper your dose until you’re opioid-free over time.
Subsequently they’ll switch to methadone maintenance treatment. This means using methadone to alleviate cravings and withdrawal symptoms. You'll then receive individual counseling to help you address the root of your opioid use and build healthy coping skills against triggers. It’s a long term recovery process that can continue as part of your ongoing treatment plan until abstinence is achieved. Maintenance treatment can take up to a year.
The facility also offers relapse prevention and case management services. The latter may involve linkage to community resources that help your holistic and lasting healing. This may include stable housing, vocational or job training and educational opportunities. They can help you to better reintegrate into the community as well.
The beauty of this outpatient program is the flexibility it offers regarding scheduling. You’ll be able to maintain your job, school or family obligations while receiving treatment. You can even have sufficient time to explore the major attractions of Glen Burnie if you plan well. This includes B&O Railroad Museum, Sandy Point State Park and Glen Burnie Park. Exploring these landmarks can spice up your healing journey in this clinic. It may even boost your mental wellbeing.
