Suboxone® Treatment for Opiod Addiction
Free Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services For Veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan and Their Families
Suboxone®
The Department's Adult Addiction Clinic, located at 122 Langley Road North in Glen Burnie offers Suboxone® (buprenorphine) treatment for Anne Arundel County residents who are opioid addicted. Under the Buprenorphine Initiative and a grant from the State of Maryland Alcohol Abuse and Drug Administration, individuals who are eligible for Suboxone® treatment will be assessed and given treatment.
Patients will be charged according to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene's sliding fee scale. The Department's case managers will assist patients in obtaining appropriate insurance (e.g., PAC, Medical Assistance), and patients with no insurance will receive a voucher for each prescription.
Once stabilized on the buprenorphine, patients will be transferred to local physicians to maintain their treatment within the community. Each patient will receive assistance and monitoring by a case manager for one year.
For more information, call the Adult Addiction Clinic at 410-222-0100.
