WICOMICO COUNTY ADDICTIONS PROGRAM

The Behavioral Health Addictions Department provides services for both male and female adults and adolescents. The Addictions Program is able to treat individuals that have Medical Assistance and private insurance. If an individual is uninsured, their fee will be based on a sliding fee scale.
The mission of the Behavioral Health Addictions Department is to maximize the health of all Wicomico County citizens by providing access to opportunities that promote physical, behavioral, and environmental health through prevention, education, assessment, diagnosis, clinical monitoring, and regulatory programs.
Addiction is a complex problem that affects not only physical and mental health of an individual, but also their families and social environment. Addiction is a condition that is chronic, progressive, and potentially fatal.
