Bergand Group

For people in recovery who need structured support without leaving their daily lives behind, the Bergand Group offers two outpatient levels of care from its Lutherville-Timonium location. The standard Outpatient Program suits clients who are stable in early recovery and building the skills and routines that long-term sobriety requires. The Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) provides more frequent clinical contact — a meaningful step up for those who need more support but are not candidates for residential treatment.

The center's scheduling reflects a genuine understanding of what outpatient recovery clients face. With hours running from 8 AM to 8 PM Monday through Friday and Saturday afternoon availability, treatment can fit around employment, parenting, and other responsibilities that residential programs require clients to pause. That flexibility is not incidental — it is part of how the Bergand Group supports sustainable, community-based recovery across Baltimore County and Harford County.

The Bergand Group's clinical programming combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, structured group therapy, and 12-step program participation — three modalities that address recovery from different but complementary angles. CBT helps clients identify and shift the thought patterns that drive addictive behavior. Group therapy builds the peer accountability and shared experience that recovery communities recognize as essential. The 12-step framework connects clients to a recovery community that extends well beyond the walls of any treatment center.

Relapse prevention is woven into the program as a core aftercare component, not treated as an afterthought. For clients managing co-occurring disorders or trauma and PTSD alongside their substance use, the center's dual-diagnosis capability means these conditions are addressed together rather than in sequence — which research consistently shows improves long-term outcomes for people in recovery.

The Bergand Group serves a wide cross-section of adults across Baltimore County and Harford County. Veterans and military families will find that TRICARE is accepted alongside Medicaid and private insurance. Young adults ages 18–25, seniors, pregnant women, and individuals entering treatment through the court system are all specifically listed populations, reflecting a clinical team with experience across varied life circumstances and recovery needs.

HIV/AIDS support is also available for clients who need it, adding another layer of integrated care for a population that can face compounded health challenges during recovery. Whether a client is entering treatment voluntarily, referred by the legal system, or supporting a family member through the process, the Bergand Group's breadth of accepted populations and payment options reduces barriers to access for those who need outpatient substance abuse treatment in the greater Baltimore area.

Financial barriers are among the most common reasons people delay or avoid addiction treatment. The Bergand Group accepts Medicaid, private insurance, TRICARE, and self-pay, covering a range of financial situations for adults in Baltimore County and Harford County. The inclusion of TRICARE is particularly meaningful for veterans and active-duty service members, a population the center explicitly serves.

The center's location at 1300 York Road, Building C in Lutherville-Timonium is accessible from across the Baltimore metro area.

With weekday evening hours available, the first call does not have to wait for a day off.
