About Frederick Institute
Frederick Institute is the Frederick County location of Addiction Treatment Systems (ATS), a CARF-accredited Opioid Treatment Program network that has provided medication-assisted treatment for over 25 years. Located at 5716 Industry Lane, Suite C in Frederick, Maryland, the clinic offers same-day admissions to methadone and Suboxone Monday through Friday — no appointment necessary, and same-day medication where clinically appropriate.
ATS specializes in opioid use disorder, providing methadone and buprenorphine for both maintenance and detoxification. The clinical approach combines daily medication with individual counseling, group counseling, family counseling, drug screens, and referral services. The program is explicit that MAT plus counseling — not medication alone — is what delivers sustained recovery from opioid addiction. Frederick Institute serves anyone affected by opioid addiction regardless of sex, race, class, or culture.
The ATS network was established in 1993 with its first clinic in Wheaton, Maryland, and has grown to six clinics across Maryland and West Virginia: Another Way (Takoma Park), Frederick Institute (Frederick), New Journey (Annapolis), Open ARMMS (Waldorf), Starting Point (Brooklyn Park), and Martinsburg Institute (Martinsburg, WV). The Frederick treatment team includes a program director, medical director, nurse practitioners, a counseling team, a nursing team, and administrative staff supporting same-day intakes.
The clinic accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and self-pay. The Frederick Institute serves Frederick County, with easy access to clients from across the I-270 and I-70 corridors. Walk in any weekday or call (301) 663-4130 to begin treatment.
