Frequently asked questions

What to know about rehab in Gaithersburg

How We Rank Listings

When your life is upside down, researching treatment programs is probably one of the last things on your mind. Our Gaithersburg directory is here to help and can serve as a good starting point.

Every rehab center in the directory is licensed or accredited. We don't rank one above another. If a listing is sponsored, we mark it as such. We prioritize programs with Maryland Behavioral Health Administration (BHA) licensure and independent accreditation by Joint Commission or CARF.

The information that you will find in the directory includes the level of care offered, specialty tracks and payment options. Our goal is simple: to give you the most accurate information so you can find a provider to meet your needs close to home.

Rehab in Gaithersburg: What to Know

Gaithersburg is one of Montgomery County’s largest cities and an upcounty hub along the I-270 technology corridor in the Washington, D.C. suburbs. The area offers a solid base of addiction treatment with 13 rehab centers offering detox, inpatient and outpatient care. You can compare every nearby option through the Maryland rehab directory.

Montgomery County’s Department of Health and Human Services runs Behavioral Health and Crisis Services, including a 24/7 Crisis Center in nearby Rockville and an ACCESS line that matches residents to treatment. Adventist HealthCare Shady Grove Medical Center anchors nearby hospital based care.  The county’s Pick Up the Pieces campaign helps people navigate options. Maryland Medicaid coverage for addiction care runs through the Public Behavioral Health System.

As in much of the D.C. suburbs, fentanyl drives most local overdose deaths. As a result, Montgomery County pairs free naloxone and test strips with a broad treatment network. Statewide, Maryland overdose deaths have fallen for four straight years to a 10 year low.

Crisis support: Call or text 988, or reach the Montgomery County Crisis Center 24/7 at 240-777-4000.
Maryland Medicaid: SUD care is covered through HealthChoice and the Public Behavioral Health System.
Treatment matching: The county ACCESS line at 240-777-1770 helps residents find the right program.
Free naloxone and test strips: Available through the county Overdose Response Program at 240-777-1836.
Cost of Rehab in Gaithersburg

The cost of rehab in Gaithersburg and Maryland sits near the middle of the regional range, with statewide averages for residential treatment at $56,783 without insurance. The good news is that most people don't pay this amount out of pocket once insurance benefits are applied. What you will pay for rehab in Gaithersburg depends on the level of care you need, the length of the program, amenities, settings and whether you have insurance coverage or not.

Locally, outpatient programs are the most affordable and widely accessible option. On the other hand, medical detox and inpatient stays are the most expensive. Keep in mind that private pay rates in Gaithersburg, a suburb of Washington, D.C., tend toward the higher end of the cost spectrum, though Maryland Medicaid and public behavioral health funding anchor affordability.

Treatment setting: inpatient and residential care cost more than outpatient.
Program length: 30, 60, and 90-day programs scale in price.
Level of care: medical detox and 24-hour supervision raise costs.
Insurance status: in-network coverage and Medicaid reduce out-of-pocket cost.
Region: D.C. suburban private-pay rates run higher than rural Maryland.
How to Pay for Rehab in Gaithersburg

Self payment and private insurance are accepted at most of Gaithersburg's 13 rehab centers. Most also accept Maryland Medicaid, Medicare and some offer financial assistance. Here's a look at how many facilities accept each type of payment.

The best option for you depends on your insurance coverage and financial situation. Here's a look at the main ways people pay for treatment in Gaithersburg

 

Maryland Medicaid

Treatment services ranging from detox through outpatient counseling and medication assisted treatment are covered by Maryland Medicaid through the Public Behavioral Health System. HealthChoice members have their specialty behavioral benefits administered by Carelon Behavioral Health. Seven facilities in Gaithersburg report accepting Maryland Medicaid.

If you are enrolled in Maryland Medicaid and need help accessing care, the county ACCESS line can help you find a provider that matches your needs.

Medicare

If you are enrolled in Medicare, your medically necessary substance use treatment is a covered benefit. Part A covers inpatient care and Part B covers outpatient and counseling services. If you have a Medicare Advantage Plan, you have the same coverage. There are three programs in Gaithersburg that accept Medicare.

Military and TRICARE

Two area facilities accept TRICARE and the VA Maryland Health Care System offers routes to care for veterans and active duty families. Services are coordinated through the Washington, D.C. VA Medical Center.

See more rehab resources for veterans and military families.

Insurance and Private Pay

Private insurance and self pay are accepted at most Gaithersburg rehab centers. Under Maryland's parity laws, commercial plans must cover substance use treatment. Because plans vary, be sure to check your benefits and network status before you commit to a specific program.

Major carriers that are active in Maryland include:

 

  • CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield
  • UnitedHealthcare
  • Kaiser Permanente
  • Cigna
  • Aetna

Other Low Cost Options

If you don't have insurance coverage, that doesn't mean that the care you need is out of reach. There are four rehab centers in Gaithersburg that offer financial assistance, three that offer sliding scale fees and three that offer financing. Treatment scholarships are another option worth looking into. Finally, public behavioral health funding offers services regardless of your ability to pay.

Accreditation

Accreditation and licensing are not the same things. Accreditation indicates that a program meets independent quality standards and is not required. Licensing by BHA is required for every Maryland substance use provider operating in the state. Four programs in Gaithersburg hold CARF accreditation and three hold Joint Commission accreditation, which is a strong showing for a city this size.

Levels of Care Available in Gaithersburg

The full continuum of care is available in Gaithersburg. The area offers 3 detox programs, 5 inpatient programs and 13 outpatient clinics with partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programs. Most of these programs also offer co-occurring mental health treatment.

Medical detox offers you day and night supervision to help you manage your withdrawal symptoms safely and as comfortably as possible. This is typically the first step in the recovery process if you have opioid or alcohol dependence. You can find three programs in Gaithersburg that offer medically supervised detox.

Inpatient and residential rehab offer you a structured live in treatment option where you can get away from outside triggers and find the support you need to focus on early recovery. Five inpatient rehab programs are available in Gaithersburg.

Partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programs deliver structured daytime treatment while you live at home. Area programs offer PHP and IOP as a step up from standard outpatient or a step down from residential care.

Outpatient treatment offers flexibility so you can live at home while still attending your scheduled sessions. Locally, this is the most common format, with 13 clinics offering care that ensures you can balance treatment with work or family.

Dual diagnosis care treats addiction alongside conditions like anxiety disorders or depression. Most facilities in the Gaithersburg directory offer dual diagnosis care that supports long term recovery.

Specialty Programs in Gaithersburg

Specialty programs recognize that no two recovery paths are the same. Some people have emotional, physical or social factors that can make getting sober more difficult. These programs offer a place to find support from peers who understand what they are going through.

Below are programs that report each specialty focus.

Programs for young adults are the most widely reported specialty locally. Eight programs address alcohol use disorder while six treat opioid use disorder. Facilities also serve women, men, older adults and veterans, and offer LGBTQ+ affirming addiction care.

Free and Low Cost Rehab Resources in Gaithersburg

It's understandable to worry about how you will cover the cost of treatment.  The good news is that low cost and no charge harm reduction resources, crisis support, and treatment access lines can help you find the care you need.

There is also crisis and suicide-prevention support around the clock.
