About Divine Light
Divine Light is a substance use treatment facility located at 2211 Maryland Avenue in Baltimore, MD 21218, serving adults who need structured withdrawal management and ongoing outpatient care. The center describes its admissions team as people who will walk prospective patients through the differences in their treatment programs — a practical, plain-spoken approach that reflects the reality of what people in crisis actually need when making a same-day decision about care.
The facility offers three distinct levels of care: medical detox, a standard outpatient program, and an intensive outpatient program (IOP). Medical detox places Divine Light in a category that not every Baltimore outpatient provider can claim — patients who require supervised withdrawal management before stepping into outpatient treatment can access that service on-site rather than being referred elsewhere. The IOP level provides a higher level of structure for those who need more than standard outpatient sessions but do not require residential placement.
Divine Light addresses co-occurring disorders and trauma or PTSD alongside substance use — a focus that recognizes untreated mental health conditions as a core part of the problem, not an afterthought. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is the confirmed therapeutic method used within their programs. Supportive housing is also available as a facility feature, offering patients a stabilizing resource beyond clinical treatment hours.
The center serves a wide range of adult populations, including veterans, young adults ages 18 to 25, seniors and older adults, men, women, individuals needing HIV/AIDS support, and those who are court-ordered into treatment. Payment options include Medicaid, state insurance, self-pay, sliding scale fees, and financial assistance — removing cost as a barrier for many Baltimore-area residents. The facility operates Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 7 PM and on weekends with reduced Saturday and Sunday hours.
