Addiction Treatment Programs at Health Care for the Homeless West Baltimore

Patients can receive outpatient substance use disorder treatment and medication assisted treatment as part of the clinic’s integrated health care model. Medication assisted treatment supports recovery by combining medications that are FDA cleared with counseling and behavioral therapy. The West Baltimore location offers both walk in and scheduled appointments, which helps individuals who may have unstable housing or limited access to transportation.

Care may include individual counseling, group counseling, psychiatric services for co-occurring mental health conditions and case management support. Case managers often assist patients with insurance enrollment and connecting to benefits or social services. Treatment uses evidence based and trauma informed approaches that address substance use alongside the complex health challenges often associated with homelessness.

The payment options for treatment include Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance and government funding programs. Staff members also help uninsured patients apply for coverage. Walk in services are available for medical care, behavioral health therapy and case management. Patients can also call to request same day appointments.
