Hopes Horizon Nottingham

About Hopes Horizon Nottingham

Hope’s Horizon in Nottingham, Maryland offers clinical assessments, ambulatory withdrawal management and DUI education. They are certified by the state and are CARF accredited, serving the Baltimore area. 

The center describes themselves as a “forever home” staffed with a big “dysfunctional family.” Many of the staff are in recovery themselves and seek to help their “extended family,” the community.

Outpatient Medically Supervised Detox

Alcohol and benzodiazepine detox is treated with medication here, helping you stay safe from complications. The client remains on site for several hours to be monitored for severe withdrawal symptoms. Clients are referred to a local treatment center if a higher level of detox is needed.

Opiate detox is also outpatient and uses Suboxone or Vivitrol. Physicians and nurses monitor withdrawal symptoms as the client achieves stabilization with medication.

Legally Required and Voluntary Programs

A state certified and MVA approved DUI education course is available here. The course lasts for six weeks and consists of 12 hours of coursework.

Partial hospitalization programs (PHP) are referred for clients in a stabilization phase. These clients are at high risk for relapse and require medically monitored treatment. They also have intensive outpatient programs (IOP) with biweekly individual therapy sessions and three hour group sessions for three to five days per week. Relapse prevention is the focus of IOP.

General outpatient programs are ideal for aftercare or those who do not require detox. Clients are considered stable and attend individual and group sessions weekly.
