Baltimore Crisis Response Inc Medical Detox Unit

Baltimore Crisis Response Inc Medical Detox Unit combines medically supervised detox with residential treatment programming for individuals requiring comprehensive addiction treatment in Baltimore. The medical detox component provides 24-hour medical monitoring during withdrawal, while residential treatment extends recovery support through structured programming and clinical interventions. Medical Director Diane Ossip (MD) oversees detox protocols, ensuring safe withdrawal management before transitioning clients to residential care.

The residential treatment program builds on detox stabilization with CBT-based interventions and dual diagnosis support. Clinical Director Roxanne Melgar (LCSW-C) manages both residential and outpatient programming, creating continuity between detox completion and ongoing recovery work. This integrated approach allows individuals to progress from medical stabilization to therapeutic engagement within the same recovery center, reducing transition challenges between levels of care.

The recovery center specializes in dual diagnosis treatment for individuals managing both substance use disorders and mental health conditions. Chief Program Officer Mary Rimi (MS, LCPC, NCC) oversees clinical programming that addresses complex cases requiring integrated mental health and addiction treatment. The facility treats co-occurring disorders through specialized interventions that address both conditions simultaneously rather than separately.

CBT approaches form the foundation of dual diagnosis treatment, with clinical staff trained to manage psychiatric symptoms alongside substance abuse treatment. The program serves individuals with trauma histories, PTSD, and other mental health conditions that complicate addiction recovery. This specialization in co-occurring disorders distinguishes the center within Baltimore's treatment landscape, particularly for individuals who have struggled with traditional single-focus programs.

Baltimore Crisis Response serves veterans, LGBTQ+ individuals, young adults, seniors, and court-ordered clients throughout Baltimore City and Maryland. The recovery center provides specialized programming for trauma survivors and maintains cultural competency for diverse populations often underserved in traditional addiction treatment settings. Veterans receive targeted support addressing military-specific trauma and transition challenges, while LGBTQ+ individuals access affirming care in a supportive environment.

Young adults aged 18-25 receive age-appropriate programming, while seniors access addiction treatment designed for older adult needs and concerns. Court-ordered individuals benefit from compliance tracking and legal system coordination. The facility's nonprofit status supports its mission of serving all populations regardless of financial resources, with Medicaid, Medicare, and financial assistance ensuring access across economic backgrounds.
