Chemical Dependency Services (Addiction)
The Center for Addiction Medicine (CAM), under the direction of Michael G. Hayes, M.D., provides comprehensive, affordable, and accessible medical detoxification and counseling treatment on an outpatient basis. The center is affiliated with Maryland General Hospital, which provides clinical specialists when needed.
CAM meets the unique needs of individuals impacted by chemical dependency.

New Vision Program
The New Vision Program is an inpatient program that treats men and women over the age of 18 who are chemically dependent or who are suffering incapacitation due to the effects of drugs, alcohol, or acute withdrawal symptoms.
The program starts with a medically supervised hospital stay for the inpatient treatment phase lasting one to five days. During this time, initial assessments of the patient's fundamental needs are determined before the patient is medically stabilized.
The medical detox team includes a medical director and nursing professionals, who use their training and experience to insure that each patient receives the attention necessary for safe medical stabilization in the hospital. After leaving the hospital, each patient is provided aftercare service and receives follow-up calls every three months for the first year. The program admits patients 24 hours a day, seven days a week. For more information, call 1-800-939-CARE or 410-225-8626.
