About University of Maryland Medical Center Outpatient Addiction Treatment Service
University of Maryland Medical Center Outpatient Addiction Treatment Service is located at 1001 West Pratt Street in Baltimore, Maryland, operating under the University of Maryland Medical System — one of the region’s most recognized academic health networks. The facility brings hospital-affiliated clinical resources to addiction care in Baltimore City, serving men and women who need structured, medically grounded treatment close to home.
The center provides two distinct levels of care: medical detox and an outpatient program. The medical detox level positions this facility to manage withdrawal under clinical supervision, which is a critical first step for people whose physical dependence requires more than counseling alone. The outpatient program allows patients to continue treatment after detox or to enter care without requiring residential placement, offering flexibility for those managing work, family, or housing responsibilities.
Clinically, the facility is certified as an Opioid Treatment Program (OTP), a federal designation that reflects adherence to specific regulatory and clinical standards for opioid-related care. The treatment approach incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a therapeutic method and addresses co-occurring disorders and trauma or PTSD alongside addiction — recognizing that many people seeking detox and addiction treatment carry both diagnoses simultaneously.
The center serves men, women, and individuals who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing, making it one of the few addiction treatment settings in Baltimore that explicitly accommodates that population. It holds dual accreditation from CARF and NCQA, two independent bodies that evaluate quality and clinical standards. Payment options include Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, state insurance, self-pay or cash, and financial assistance — reducing financial barriers for Baltimore residents who need medical detox or outpatient addiction treatment.
