About us

Tuerk House, a comprehensive drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility in Baltimore, Maryland, is committed to assisting individuals with substance use problems in making a long-lasting recovery. In addition to providing addiction treatment, Tuerk House supports people in their recovery process by providing a variety of community services such as crisis intervention, referrals, and DUI programs. 
 
Addiction-related treatments at Tuerk House are made to address co-occurring mental health disorders as well as drug abuse. Comprehensive mental health exams, therapy, detoxification, inpatient and outpatient programs, medication-assisted treatment (MAT), and peer support are some of the treatments offered.
 
The mental health exam, which enables physicians to analyze each patient’s mental health and develop a customized treatment plan, is a crucial step in the treatment process at Tuerk House. Individual, family, and group therapy sessions may be a part of this strategy to guarantee a comprehensive approach to healing. 
 
Tuerk House provides medically supervised withdrawal management to assist people safely and pleasantly detox from drugs and alcohol for those in need of detoxification. Depending on their individual requirements, participants are smoothly moved from stabilization into either inpatient or outpatient addiction treatment programs. 
 
In a controlled and encouraging setting, participants in Tuerk House’s residential program go through a thorough evaluation and adhere to a personalized treatment plan. With the goal of promoting long-term sobriety, the program incorporates evidence-based treatments such skills development, peer support, individual and group therapy, psychoeducation, and recovery groups. 
 
Tuerk House provides adaptable outpatient services for those who can manage their rehabilitation in their community but still need continuous care. These programs may be used as standard outpatient treatment, intense outpatient care, or as a foundation for partial hospitalization. To support their improvement, participants take part in skills training, educational workshops, counseling, and rehabilitation groups. 
 
Tuerk House uses MAT as a cornerstone of their treatment program for alcohol and opioid use disorders. MAT lessens cravings and averts relapses by combining FDA-approved drugs and psychotherapy. Because this therapy is offered as an outpatient option, patients may get the assistance they want while still carrying out their regular obligations. 
 
Tuerk House, which was established in 1970, has transformed the way that drug and alcohol therapy is approached. From its humble beginnings as a humane alternative to hospital or prison cell detoxification, Dr. Isadore Tuerk and other pioneers’ vision has grown into a preeminent non-profit treatment program. Regardless of a patient’s financial situation, Tuerk House offers an integrated approach of treatment that addresses every facet of rehabilitation to close to 300 patients every day.
