About BD Health Services Dundalk
BD Health Services provides opioid treatment in Dundalk, Maryland. They are a state and federally regulated narcotic treatment facility. Adults are able to receive substance abuse counseling and methadone maintenance.
When you arrive, you will first do your intake screening assessment. This assessment will help the staff determine your substance use, substance history, and medical history. It will also help determine if methadone is the correct treatment for you.
When you sign up, you’ll need to take a urinalysis. The urinalysis will help keep you accountable. You will also have access to annual physicals, tuberculosis testing and pregnancy testing.
Their methadone maintenance treatment program has no specific length of time. Some people will stay on methadone their entire life, and others will taper down until they are drug free. Just know that it can take some time before you are drug free from methadone.
You’re prescribed methadone as an alternative to the opioid of choice you were abusing. It will help reduce your cravings and ease your withdrawal symptoms. You may also feel better as the medication helps with emotional and chemical balancing.
I do like that your ability to function will enhance. Your relationships will also be enhanced and your stability will improve.
The program does involve you attending counseling. With counseling, you will be able to address any trauma and learn about the disease of addiction. You will have follow ups and psychosocial follow ups.
