About Sheppard Pratt – Outpatient Mental Health Center – Columbia
Children and adolescents can get care at Sheppard Pratt, an outpatient treatment program in Columbia, Maryland, and so can adults and older adults. I appreciate that the center serves people with a mental health condition and people with a substance use problem alongside that condition.
Care there is therapy, a psychiatric assessment and medication management, and support for drug and alcohol use is groups and education. A day program for psychiatric rehabilitation runs in Columbia, and the same operator runs it.
Medicaid and Medicare in Columbia
Medicaid, Maryland Medicare and Medical Assistance are the public programs Sheppard Pratt participates with, and self-pay is accepted too. I noted that list is what you set against your coverage while you're working out the cost. Medical Assistance requires pre-authorization.
You don't need a referral from a provider for mental health care or for substance use care. Hours at the Columbia center run 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, so a visit falls inside a workday.
