Garrett County Health Department Subst Abuse Prog/Behav Health Unit

Garrett County Health Department's addiction treatment center offers two distinct levels of outpatient care designed for individuals at different stages of their recovery journey. The standard outpatient program provides ongoing support and treatment while allowing participants to maintain work, school, and family responsibilities. This flexibility proves essential for people establishing long-term sobriety within their existing community networks.

The intensive outpatient (IOP) program delivers more concentrated substance abuse treatment for individuals requiring additional structure and support. Both programs operate Monday through Friday during business hours, accommodating the scheduling needs of working adults and students. The center's approach emphasizes community-based recovery, allowing participants to practice sobriety skills in real-world settings while receiving professional guidance and peer support.

The facility's Substance Use Disorder Program features Medications for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD) treatment under the clinical supervision of Kelly Rock, DNP, PMHNP-BC. This specialized service addresses the medical aspects of opioid addiction through medication-assisted treatment protocols, supporting individuals in achieving stable recovery while reducing withdrawal symptoms and cravings.

Co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis conditions receive particular attention at this recovery center. The clinical team addresses both substance use disorders and mental health conditions simultaneously, recognizing that successful long-term recovery often requires integrated treatment approaches. This dual diagnosis specialization proves crucial for individuals whose addiction intersects with depression, anxiety, trauma, or other mental health challenges.

Payment accessibility remains a cornerstone of Garrett County Health Department's approach to addiction treatment. The center accepts Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, and TRICARE, while also offering self-pay options and sliding scale arrangements based on financial need. This comprehensive payment structure ensures that economic barriers don't prevent community members from accessing necessary substance abuse treatment services.

The facility provides specialized accommodation for deaf and hard of hearing individuals, demonstrating commitment to serving diverse populations within the recovery community. Additionally, the center works with court-ordered participants, creating pathways for individuals entering treatment through the legal system to connect with ongoing recovery resources and community support networks essential for sustained sobriety.
