Levels of Care Offered at MARC
Recovery Solutions for Addiction and Mental Health
At Maryland Addiction Recovery Center (MARC), we understand that effective treatment for addiction and mental health disorders requires a comprehensive, long-term approach. As a family-owned and operated organization, we’re dedicated to providing steadfast healing and quality-of-life outcomes for those struggling with addiction and mental health issues.
Our fully integrated model offers long-term treatment and support across multiple levels of care, creating a cohesive recovery solution that families in Maryland trust. This approach is grounded in scientific evidence, which shows that long-term treatment and practical, hands-on support lead to enhanced life skills, improved relationships, stability, consistent employment, elevated personal accountability, and stronger mental health.
The concept of “levels of care” is crucial in our treatment philosophy. It allows for a flexible, stepped approach where individuals can transition between different intensities of care as their needs change throughout the recovery process. This adaptability is key to providing effective, personalized treatment that evolves with each client’s progress and challenges.
What sets MARC apart is our community-integration treatment center. We’re invested in helping you actively live in your recovery. The transition back to daily life and responsibilities isn’t a future challenge – it’s the successful lifestyle you learn to live right now while in treatment and at our supportive sober living community.
A unique feature of our program is that all of our levels of care offer the opportunity to participate in structured sober living. This fully immerses you or your loved one in the healing and community that is our signature lifestyle recovery approach.
By offering multiple levels of care within this integrated model, we’re able to provide more comprehensive and effective treatment. Whether you need the structure and support of our community living treatment program or the flexibility of our outpatient services, MARC has a solution tailored to your unique situation.
MARC is designed to be the final treatment option you or your loved one will ever need. “Life after treatment” isn’t a distant goal – it’s already happening within our community-based addiction treatment program. We invite you to come restore your life, build recovery momentum, and learn to thrive. Live up to your highest potential and create a high quality of life.

Absolutely. We view aftercare as a crucial component of long-term recovery. Upon completion of your primary treatment program, we develop a personalized aftercare plan. This typically includes ongoing therapy sessions, support group recommendations, alumni program participation, and regular check-ins with our staff. Our goal is to provide continued support as you transition back to daily life.
Continuity of care is a priority in our treatment approach. We achieve this through detailed treatment planning, regular case reviews, and seamless communication between our multidisciplinary team members. As you transition between levels, your core treatment team, primary therapist, and primary psychiatrist remain the same, ensuring that your progress, challenges, and goals are consistently addressed. We also provide thorough handoffs when transitions occur, maintaining the momentum of your recovery journey.
When transitioning to a lower level of care, we offer enhanced support to ease the adjustment. This includes more frequent individual therapy sessions initially, check-ins with your case manager, and a gradual reduction in treatment intensity. We also encourage increased participation in community support groups and our alumni program. Our goal is to build your confidence and independence while maintaining a strong support network as you step down in care.
