Levels of Care

Outpatient Rehab

This level of rehab offers accountability and support through regular therapy sessions and support group meetings. It may last for weeks or months, based on your ongoing recovery needs.

Dual Diagnosis & Mental Health

Sober Living

A Maryland sober living home is appropriate for those who want to abstain from drugs and alcohol but need a high level of accountability.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

People with busy lifestyles or young children tend to benefit from partial hospitalization programs (PHPs) in Maryland. This type of recovery program offers structured addiction treatment services while still allowing you to live at home.
