About Genesis Treatment Services
Genesis Treatment Services in Westminster is the Carroll County, Maryland location of the broader Addiction Treatment Centers of MD organization, which also operates A Helping Hand in Woodlawn and a Genesis Treatment Services site in Frederick. The Westminster clinic is a federally certified Opioid Treatment Program (OTP) — meaning it can dispense methadone — and pairs that capability with Suboxone treatment, addiction counseling, and individual therapy.
Clinically, the program’s published focus is medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder. The website lays out the rationale plainly: ‘Methadone and Suboxone reduce the cravings for opioids and prevent the onset of withdrawal symptoms. With time, effort, and commitment, these medications will allow you to lead a more stable life.’ Counseling is presented as a critical complement — ‘Your level of commitment and involvement with your counselor will greatly improve your outcomes.’ SAMHSA additionally lists medical detox, outpatient programming, IOP, and CBT as part of the clinical menu.
Accreditation is unusually strong for an OTP. The Westminster site holds both CARF and Council on Accreditation (COA) credentials per SAMHSA, two independent quality reviewers in addition to the federal OTP certification required to dispense methadone. The program also accepts a broad mix of payment: Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, state insurance, and self-pay.
The Westminster office is at 1106 Business Parkway South, Suite B, with phone (410) 751-7771 and an after-hours line at (877) 640-0782. Populations served are exceptionally broad per SAMHSA, including veterans, pregnant women, young adults, seniors, men and women, court-ordered clients, and clients with HIV/AIDS — useful for a community OTP that needs to handle complex co-occurring needs alongside opioid use disorder.
