I met someone who was there for a while he told me that they should improve the attention to each patient a little more specialized so they can continue helping many more people.
About Johns Hopkins Broadway Center for Addiction
The Johns Hopkins Broadway Center for Addiction in Baltimore, Maryland offers outpatient services for those dealing with substance abuse including detox, outpatient and medication-assisted treatment for opioid use.
Their program addresses the mental, medical, emotional and social needs related to addiction. They also offer a certified halfway house for women.
As a client, you’ll get one-on-one counseling from a therapist. Together, you’ll work on short-term goals such as getting stable housing. You’ll also get substance use education, plan for your future and make relapse prevention plans. Breath tests and urine analysis are arranged. They also offer gender-specific group programs.
A weekly on-site health clinic is led by a nurse practitioner. This clinic will take care of your primary health care needs as well as support you during detox if needed. An on-site psychiatric clinic is for those who have chemical dependence and another psychiatric disorder. These clinics offer evaluation, medication, treatments and referrals.
I like that lunch is provided at the program. This is a small but helpful service that removes barriers to getting help.
This facility has connections with a lot of community organizations. They work with kitchen and drop-in centers, NA and AA meeting providers, homeless shelters, vocational training services and more. These related services can help support you in treating your addiction.

Levels of Care
Outpatient
The Adult Outpatient Program provides outpatient psychiatric evaluation and treatment for persons 18 years of age or older. The frequency of appointments with a therapist is variable depending upon need, and medication management visits with a psychiatrist occur at least every 90 days or more frequently if indicated. Treatment plans are developed collaboratively by patients and the treatment team. Progress towards goals is assessed regularly in treatment and objectives are updated as needed.
Inpatient
The Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Inpatient Service offers comprehensive diagnostic evaluation and treatment of children and adolescents (typical age ranges from 5-17 years old) with a variety of emotional and behavioral problems including mood disorders, anxiety disorders, psychotic disorders, severe disruptive behavior, and suicide attempts. The General Psychiatry Inpatient Unit accepts adult patients over the age of 16 on a voluntary basis only. Their expert inpatient treatment team is comprised of an attending psychiatrist, a resident psychiatrist, nurses, a social worker, a case manager, and several occupational therapists, all of whom are trained to provide of a wide range of psychiatric services to patients with diverse needs.
Intensive Outpatient
The Children’s Center is an intensive outpatient program for children ages 5-12. The program provides a level of care between traditional outpatient therapy and day hospital treatment. The purpose of the Children’s Center is to provide psychiatric stabilization and prevent inpatient hospitalization. A child typically participates in the program for 4-6 weeks and then returns to their previous outpatient therapist and psychiatrist.
12-Step
12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).
Sober Living Homes
Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.
Intervention Services
Intervention services helps family or friends of addicts stage an intervention, which is a meeting in which loved ones share their concerns and attempt to get an addict into treatment. Professional intervention specialists can help loved ones organize, gather, and communicate with an addict. They can guide intervention participants in describing the damage the addict's behavior is causing and that outside help is necessary to address the addiction. The ideal outcome of an intervention is for the addict to go to rehab and get the help they need.
24-Hour Clinical Care
At certain points in the recovery process, it's important to have support available 24/7. 24-hour clinical care offers a safe environment in which to recover from drug or alcohol addiction in peace, knowing medical detox and other treatment will happen with professionals on hand.
Medically Assisted Detox
The Chemical Dependence Unit (CDU) is a 26-bed inpatient medical unit that provides safe, medical detoxification for those addicted to alcohol, benzodiazipines and opiates. Other services offered by unit staff include health education and recovery groups (including a 12-step program), and guidance for setting up after-care.

Treatment
Alcoholism
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
Drug Addiction
Once a person has become addicted to a substance, drug rehab in Maryland is often necessary to overcome that addiction. These programs provide the tools individuals need to manage the physical, mental, and emotional issues involved and begin a successful recovery journey.
Dual Diagnosis
Co-Occurring Disorders in Adolescence (CODA) is a specialized treatment program designed for adolescents and young adults ages 14 to 22 who are struggling with drug and alcohol problems as well as the related mental health issues that often accompany these problems and interfere with their ability to function, whether in school, at work, at home or in social situations. Their staff includes licensed and trained masters-level clinicians and a board-certified child and adolescent psychiatrist.
Opioid Addiction
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.
Substance Abuse
Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.
Clinical Services
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.
Group Therapy
Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
Individual Therapy
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
Motivational Interviewing
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.
Trauma Therapy
Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.
Couples Therapy
Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.
Family Therapy
Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.
Life Skills
Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.
