Who They Serve

Levels Not Listed

Medical detoxification, inpatient residential care, intensive outpatient programming (IOP), medication-assisted treatment (buprenorphine, methadone, or naltrexone), sober living housing, and trauma-specific counseling are not listed for these 7 centers. When you call, ask directly about any of these services, as programs evolve. You can also expand your search to Baltimore (118 centers) or Frederick (13 centers).

Five of the 7 centers accept Medicaid, the federal and state health insurance program for people with lower incomes and limited resources. For state-specific information on Medicaid eligibility, income limits, and coverage for substance use treatment, see the Maryland rehab guide.

Six of the 7 centers accept cash or self-payment, meaning you pay out-of-pocket through credit card, debit, or a payment arrangement. Many centers offer sliding scale fees based on your household income or financial hardship.

When you call a center, ask about all available payment options, whether they offer payment plans, and what financial documentation you'll need to bring to your first appointment. Cost is a significant barrier to treatment, and discussing it openly with the clinic can help you find a workable option.

Westminster's 7 centers offer solid outpatient and counseling-based care. If you need a different level of treatment (inpatient, medication-assisted, intensive outpatient) or prefer more options, nearby cities have many more centers. Some providers also offer telehealth, allowing you to attend sessions from home.
