Levels of Care in Annapolis
All 7 of Annapolis's treatment centers offer comprehensive substance use treatment alongside structured assessment and monitoring. Here's what's available:
Outpatient Programs: 6 centers provide outpatient care, the most flexible option for people who need treatment but maintain work, school, or family responsibilities.
Medication-Assisted Treatment: 6 centers offer buprenorphine, a medication that reduces cravings and withdrawal symptoms for opioid addiction. This is the evidence standard for opioid use disorder when combined with counseling.
Behavioral Therapy & Counseling: All 7 centers use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), the gold standard for retraining thought patterns. You'll also find individual counseling (7 centers), family counseling (7 centers), and group counseling (6 centers) to rebuild relationships and peer support.
Trauma-Informed Care: 6 centers offer dedicated trauma-related counseling, because many people with addiction histories have experienced trauma.
Mental Health Support: 6 centers screen for and treat co-occurring mental health conditions alongside addiction—depression, anxiety, and other disorders that often accompany substance use.
Motivation & Relapse Tools: Expect motivational interviewing (7 centers) to help you find your own reasons for change, plus relapse prevention (7 centers) to recognize triggers and build coping skills.
For residential inpatient, intensive outpatient, or telehealth options, confirm availability directly with individual listings.
