About Shoemaker Center
The Shoemaker Center is a Maryland residential addiction treatment facility at 7295 Buttercup Road in Sykesville, operated as part of Maryland Treatment Centers (MTC), a second-generation family-led behavioral health organization that has been delivering rehabilitation services in Maryland for more than 40 years. The Center is part of MTC’s Mountain Manor branding and is accredited by The Joint Commission.
The Shoemaker Center provides medical detox and residential treatment as part of MTC’s integrated, holistic rehabilitation approach for addiction and mental health. Residential programming spans both adult inpatient/detox tracks and dedicated adolescent treatment, with long-term residential options available for clients who need extended recovery time. The organization’s continuum also includes intensive outpatient treatment, outpatient services, recovery support, and family support across its statewide network — meaning Shoemaker Center patients can typically step down through MTC’s other programs after residential care.
Clinically, MTC emphasizes a family-centered philosophy: ‘when you entrust your care and recovery to us, you become part of our family.’ Treatment is described as integrative and holistic, drawing on evidence-based approaches alongside spiritual care, family programming, and recovery support services. MTC explicitly states a non-discriminatory posture toward race, religion, gender identity, and economic status, with many staff members in recovery themselves and graduates of one of MTC’s programs.
Financially, the Shoemaker Center accepts Maryland Medicaid and most major commercial insurances, and a notice to patients explicitly states that the practice serves all patients regardless of ability to pay, with discounts for essential services based on family size and income. Maryland Treatment Centers operates a centralized 24/7 confidential intake line at 1-800-53 REHAB (1-800-537-3422), and prospective patients can also call the Shoemaker Center directly at (410) 795-5767.
