About

About Another Way Inc

Another Way Inc operates as the Takoma Park clinic within Addiction Treatment Systems (ATS), a Maryland-based outpatient opioid-treatment network that has been providing medication-assisted treatment for over 25 years. Located at 1363 Holton Lane in Takoma Park (Montgomery County), the clinic is one of six ATS locations across Maryland and West Virginia, joined by sister clinics in Waldorf (Open ARMMS), Annapolis (New Journey), Frederick (Frederick Institute), Brooklyn Park (Starting Point), and Martinsburg WV (Martinsburg Institute).

Clinical services center on Medication-Assisted Treatment for opioid use disorder. Methadone maintenance is the primary medication, with Suboxone (buprenorphine) available as an alternative for clinically appropriate patients. Counseling — individual, group, and family — provides the psychosocial complement to medication, addressing the relational and behavioral dimensions of recovery that medication alone does not reach. Drug screens, treatment planning, and referral services round out the program’s clinical scope, ensuring that patients with needs beyond what ATS directly provides (housing, vocational support, primary medical care) can be connected to appropriate community partners.

A distinguishing operational feature is the program’s same-day admission policy. The website explicitly states that no appointment is required — patients can walk in Monday through Friday, complete intake, and begin medication the same day if clinically appropriate. This removes one of the most consistent barriers in opioid treatment: the waitlist gap between readiness for treatment and actual medication access, during which many patients lose motivation or experience overdose. For severe opioid use disorder where each day matters, the same-day model is a meaningful clinical commitment.

The program is CARF-accredited and operates under SAMHSA OTP certification, providing the dual regulatory framework that legitimate methadone programs require. Patient populations include adult men and women, with pregnant women specifically served — an important specialty given the medical complexity of opioid use disorder during pregnancy. Co-occurring mental health conditions are addressed as part of the treatment scope. Payment is broad: Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, state insurance, and self-pay are all accepted. Patient testimonials on the parent organization’s website describe the Takoma Park clinic’s clinical and front-desk staff with consistent positivity, noting director and counselor accessibility as defining features of the local experience.
