About Sheppard Pratt – Baltimore/Washington Campus
Sheppard Pratt Baltimore/Washington Campus is a treatment program in Elkridge, Maryland. Substance use care here is an inpatient unit for adults, and the campus holds five inpatient units along with four day hospitals.
I did note that residential treatment isn't offered at this campus, and outpatient addiction services are a separate program.
Paying for the Day Hospital
If you're worried about paying for the adult day hospital, I found that Sheppard Pratt accepts Medicare and Medicaid for that program. It also accepts private insurance and self pay.
The day hospital is group mental health treatment on weekdays, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., so those hours take a workday. You go home in the afternoon.
Who the Co-Occurring Unit Admits
Sheppard Pratt's co-occurring unit in Elkridge has 17 beds. It's for adults from 18 to 65 who have a mental illness together with a substance use problem. Because it's inpatient, a person on that unit is away from work for the admission.
Children and adolescents are admitted on other units, and there's one for ages 12 through 17.
There's also psychiatric urgent care on the campus.
Amenities
Art and music are mediums that connect with our feelings, making them a great recovery tool during addiction treatment. Studies show that combining art/music and drug rehab can have a greater therapeutic impact than drug rehab alone, as you’re able to access parts of your brain and body that you may not have access to during traditional talk therapy. Benefits of art/music therapy include lowering stress and anxiety, promoting healthy neurochemicals, and providing stress relief.
In order to maintain a sense of autonomy, many private rehab facilities offer clients the ability to choose their own private rooms. The privacy and personal space ensure that the recovery process is as comfortable as possible.
Addiction treatment in the metro area benefits clients by offering seamless connections from the city, around the state, and those seeking out-of-state treatment. Another benefit of attending a metro area drug rehab is that you’re close to major airports and ground transportation services.
Business centers are a preferred amenity in many mental health and addiction recovery facilities and typically feature secure, high-speed internet, computer stations, printers, and related business technologies. Business centers are designed to enable professionals and students to continue to participate in work or school activities without leaving the treatment facility.
Residential drug rehab provides the comforts of home with the therapeutic support needed to successfully recover. Benefits of an inpatient program include increased safety, a higher success rate, and the time and distance given to focus on recovery. Residential drug rehabs are often the preferred method of treatment, as they can be tailored to meet specific needs, offer focused therapeutic care, and provide the necessary tools to sustain recovery.
Addiction Treatment Programs
The Adolescent Unit is a secure 17-bed inpatient unit for adolescents ages 12 through 17. That age range is the group it takes.

If you have both a mental health and substance use disorder, these cannot be treated independently. They interact, so the treatment must be integrated. Dual diagnosis treatment in Maryland is designed to treat both co-occurring disorders.

Support includes intervention facilitation, education about treatment plan options, and guidance in selecting the best program for your loved one.
