Patients are assessed during an intake evaluation for their appropriate level of care. A treatment plan is agreed upon, and referrals given as required.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

It is appropriate for anyone with a history of chemical dependency who is interested in maintaining abstinence from all substances. All clients in IOP will receive weekly, individual counseling in conjunction with groups. Currently, IOP group meets on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at Mt.

Outpatient group counseling takes place on Mondays and Wednesdays from 1:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. at Mt. Vernon Center.

Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) for Substance Use
If you are interested in medication to help support you in your recovery process, whether you are currently a Chase Brexton patient or not, you should first contact us at 410-837-2050 x8807.
What is Medication Assisted Treatment, or "MAT"? MAT covers a number of prescription medications that can help in the treatment of opiate use. Opiates can be prescription drugs, like Percocet and Oxycontin, or illegal drugs, like heroin. Medications may include different types of formulas that include buprenorphine (such as Zubsolv, Suboxone, Naltrexone or Subutex) or other medications such as Vivitrol, Naloxone or Acamprosate.
How is it used at Chase Brexton? We promote substance use treatment as an integrated part of overall healthcare. In order to be a part of the Medication Assisted Treatment program, you must be a Chase Brexton medical patient, as well as participate in our substance use program.
