About

About VA Maryland Healthcare System Addiction Treatment Program

The VA Maryland Healthcare System Addiction Treatment Program operates out of the Baltimore VA Medical Center at 10 North Greene Street, in the heart of downtown Baltimore. As a federal substance use program, it provides treatment to enrolled Veterans across the Baltimore metro and surrounding Maryland counties, with services housed in Suite BT-116-MH within the larger VA Maryland Healthcare System campus.

The program is accredited by the Joint Commission and certified as an Opioid Treatment Program (OTP), which authorizes the use of medications such as methadone and buprenorphine for opioid use disorder. Care is structured around outpatient and intensive outpatient (IOP) levels of service, with frequent visits available for Veterans early in recovery and step-down support for those building longer-term sobriety. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is the program’s documented evidence-based modality.

Veterans served by this program often present with trauma-related conditions, including PTSD, alongside their substance use concerns. The team is structured to handle co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis, and the program accepts an unusually broad range of Veteran subpopulations, including pregnant women, seniors, men, women, Veterans living with HIV/AIDS, court-ordered patients, and Veterans who are Deaf or hard of hearing. Sign language access is noted in SAMHSA records.

Payment is structured around Veteran benefits and supporting public coverage, including TRICARE, Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance, sliding-scale fees, and self-pay. Veterans interested in beginning care can call the Baltimore VA Medical Center at (410) 605-7000 or coordinate through their existing VA primary care or mental health provider.
