About
About VA Maryland Healthcare System Addiction Treatment Program
The Addiction Treatment Program of the VA Maryland Healthcare System is housed within the Baltimore VA Medical Center at 10 North Greene Street, Unit BT-116-MH, near the University of Maryland medical campus. The program serves veterans across Maryland and the Baltimore-Washington corridor with substance use disorder treatment integrated into the broader VA healthcare network.
Clinically, the program offers outpatient and intensive outpatient substance use treatment alongside a licensed Opioid Treatment Program (OTP) certified to provide methadone and buprenorphine-based medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder. Programming combines cognitive behavioral therapy with telehealth options, and integrates with VA mental health services to address PTSD, trauma-related conditions, and other co-occurring concerns. The clinical model accommodates an unusually broad range of populations including pregnant women, older veterans, court-involved veterans, those living with HIV/AIDS, and Deaf and hard of hearing clients supported through American Sign Language services.
Financial access is structured around VA eligibility. Enrolled veterans receive substance use treatment as part of their benefits, often at no out-of-pocket cost for covered services. TRICARE is accepted for eligible family members, and additional payer arrangements including Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance, sliding-scale fees, and self-pay are referenced in SAMHSA’s records for the program. Court-ordered care is also accommodated.
The Baltimore VA is accredited by The Joint Commission, reflecting independently verified clinical and operational standards. The main number for the medical center is (410) 605-7000. Veterans in crisis can reach the Veterans Crisis Line 24/7 by dialing 988 and pressing 1. Public Google reviews for the medical center currently average 3.3 stars across 328 ratings, which reflects the breadth of services delivered through this facility rather than the addiction program specifically.

Specialty Substance Use Care Inside a Major VA Medical Center
The Baltimore VA is one of the largest VA medical centers on the East Coast. Embedding the Addiction Treatment Program inside that facility means veterans receive substance use care with direct access to inpatient medicine, mental health, and primary care services.
Opioid Treatment Program Certification
The licensed OTP within the VA Maryland system can dispense methadone and buprenorphine under federal SAMHSA rules, which is comparatively rare among VA addiction programs. That capability matters for veterans whose opioid use disorder requires medication-based stabilization.
Inclusive Programming
Specialty support for pregnant veterans, older veterans, court-involved clients, those living with HIV/AIDS, and Deaf and hard of hearing veterans is reflected in the program's SAMHSA-listed scope. ASL services in particular are unusual among addiction programs of any kind, federal or community.
