The Hidden Cost of Waiting

Addiction does not wait for the "right time." Every week without treatment, the damage deepens. Relationships fracture. Health deteriorates. Career opportunities slip away. The financial toll climbs higher. And the grip of substance use tightens in ways that become harder and harder to break.

Maybe you have told yourself one of these things:

  • "I can handle it on my own." — Addiction rewires the brain. Willpower alone is rarely enough, and there is no shame in needing clinical support.
  • "It's not that bad yet." — Waiting for rock bottom is one of the most dangerous myths in recovery. Early treatment leads to dramatically better outcomes.
  • "I can't afford treatment." — Most insurance plans cover addiction treatment, and the cost of not getting help is immeasurably higher.

The best time to start recovery was yesterday. The second best time is right now.

Treating addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions together. Addressing one without the other leads to incomplete recovery.

MAT with Vivitrol & Suboxone

FDA-approved medication-assisted treatment reduces cravings and withdrawal, giving your brain the support it needs to heal.

We Treat the Whole Person

Addiction affects every dimension of life. Effective treatment must do the same.

At Maryland Recovery Center, we believe lasting recovery requires more than addressing substance use alone. Addiction is intertwined with mental health, physical well-being, relationships, and purpose. Our treatment philosophy reflects that complexity.

Every client receives a treatment plan built specifically for them — not a one-size-fits-all protocol. We combine the strongest clinical evidence with holistic practices that restore the whole person, because healing happens on every level.

Our team integrates evidence-based therapies like CBT and DBT with holistic modalities including acupuncture, animal-assisted therapy, yoga, and meditation. For clients with co-occurring mental health conditions, our dual diagnosis program ensures both issues are treated simultaneously — because addressing one without the other is a path to relapse.

Learn About Your Treatment Options

Evidence-Based Clinical Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, motivational interviewing, and other proven modalities form the backbone of every treatment plan.

Integrated Holistic Therapies

Acupuncture, animal therapy, meditation, and yoga are woven into daily programming — not offered as optional extras, but as core components of healing.

Dual Diagnosis Expertise

Nearly half of those with substance use disorders also face mental health challenges. We treat both conditions together because recovery depends on it.

Individualized Treatment Plans

No two people walk the same path into addiction, and no two should walk the same path out. Your plan is yours alone — built around your history, your challenges, and your goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of addiction does Maryland Recovery Center treat?
+

Maryland Recovery Center treats a wide range of substance use disorders including alcohol addiction, opioid addiction, prescription drug dependence, stimulant use disorders, and more. Our clinical team creates individualized treatment plans regardless of the specific substance involved, and our dual diagnosis program addresses co-occurring mental health conditions alongside addiction.

How long does treatment typically last?
+

Treatment duration varies based on individual needs, the severity of the addiction, and the level of care required. Partial Hospitalization (PHP) programs often run 4-6 weeks, Intensive Outpatient (IOP) typically lasts 8-12 weeks, and outpatient programs can continue for several months. Research consistently shows that longer engagement in treatment produces better long-term outcomes. Your treatment team will work with you to determine the right timeline.

Does insurance cover addiction treatment?
+

Yes. Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, most insurance plans are required to cover substance use disorder treatment at the same level as other medical conditions. Maryland Recovery Center works with most major insurance providers including Aetna, BlueCross BlueShield, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, and Medicaid. Our admissions team provides free insurance verification and can explain your specific benefits and any out-of-pocket costs before you begin treatment.

What is dual diagnosis treatment?
+

Dual diagnosis treatment addresses both substance use disorder and co-occurring mental health conditions — such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, or bipolar disorder — simultaneously. Research from SAMHSA shows that nearly half of people with a substance use disorder also have a co-occurring mental health condition. Treating only the addiction while ignoring the underlying mental health issue significantly increases the risk of relapse. Our integrated approach ensures both conditions receive proper clinical attention.

Do you offer programs specifically for veterans?
+

Yes. Maryland Recovery Center offers a dedicated Veterans Program designed to address the unique challenges that service members and veterans face, including combat-related trauma, PTSD, military sexual trauma, and the difficult transition to civilian life. Our clinicians are experienced in veteran-specific issues and create treatment plans that honor the unique experiences of those who have served. We also work with VA benefits and military insurance.

What holistic therapies are available?
+

Our holistic therapy program includes acupuncture, animal-assisted therapy, guided meditation, yoga, and other mindfulness-based practices. These therapies are integrated into your clinical treatment plan — not offered as optional extras. Research supports that holistic modalities, when combined with evidence-based clinical treatment, can reduce stress, improve emotional regulation, decrease cravings, and significantly enhance overall treatment outcomes.
