Substance Use Counseling
Evidence-Based Recovery Support in Maryland
High-quality IOP and Outpatient programs available statewide via telehealth and in-person at our Silver Spring office.
Compassionate Care for Lasting Recovery
Everyone's path to wellness is unique. Whether you need intensive support or a flexible schedule to maintain your daily life, we provide evidence-based treatment tailored to you.
Your journey begins with a conversation.
We don't believe in one-size-fits-all. Every client starts with a Comprehensive Clinical Assessment. Our licensed specialists will sit with you to understand your substance use history, challenges, and goals. Based on this assessment, we recommend either our Outpatient (OP) or Intensive Outpatient (IOP) program to ensure you have the highest chance of success.
