About Suburban Hospital
Suburban Hospital is a member hospital of Johns Hopkins Medicine, located at 8600 Old Georgetown Road in Bethesda, Maryland. The hospital sits in Montgomery County and serves as one of the Hopkins network’s primary acute care centers, recognized in U.S. News & World Report’s 2025-26 Best Hospitals list alongside The Johns Hopkins Hospital and Sibley Memorial. The Suburban Outpatient Addiction Treatment Center, part of the hospital’s Behavioral Health Services division, provides medically supervised substance use treatment with the backing of the broader Hopkins clinical infrastructure.
Clinically, the hospital offers inpatient medical detox alongside outpatient addiction treatment. SAMHSA confirms medical detox at the site, with ASL services for Deaf and Hard of Hearing patients and a broad population reach including veterans, pregnant women, young adults, seniors, court-ordered admits, HIV/AIDS-positive patients, and clients with co-occurring trauma or PTSD. The hospital’s dual Joint Commission and NCQA accreditation reflects both inpatient and quality-of-care credentials uncommon among community-scale addiction programs.
As an acute care hospital, Suburban can manage medically complex withdrawal that stand-alone programs would have to refer out. Patients with serious co-occurring medical conditions – cardiovascular disease, pregnancy complications, advanced HIV, diabetes – receive integrated care from the broader Hopkins medical team. The Behavioral Health Services division coordinates with primary care, women’s health, and other Suburban specialties to keep treatment in one system.
Important payer note: as of August 25, 2025, all providers and facilities that are part of Johns Hopkins Medicine, except for Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital in Florida, are considered out of network by UnitedHealthcare. Suburban Hospital accepts Medicaid, Medicare, most private insurance, state insurance, self-pay, and payment plans. Patients should verify benefits with the hospital billing team before admission. The addiction services intake line is 301-896-3282 x3629, and the broader hospital number is (301) 896-3100.
