Family Services Agency Inc - Sheppard Pratt

They provide outpatient and telemedicine. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Derwood is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Gaithersburg offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.

They treat adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25, alongside programs for court referrals and mental health disorders, which is more than most places around Gaithersburg name.

They take mandated treatment. What paperwork the court wants back is between you and whoever ordered it, and Gaithersburg has 8 other centers if the dates do not work.

They treat both, and the rest of what they are set up for is court referrals and past trauma.

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone. Medication and counseling together is the standard of care for opioid use rather than an either or, and not every place near Gaithersburg offers both.

Aftercare is the step down: less intensive, longer lasting, and often the difference that lasts. Sober living houses are one option, they are not treatment, and the quality varies enormously between them. Get the follow up appointment into the diary before the program ends.

Compare what each one actually provides rather than how each one describes itself. A program that cannot tell you its staff to client ratio usually has a reason. Ask for the daily schedule in writing rather than a description of it.
