About ARS of Aberdeen LLC

ARS of Aberdeen is the Aberdeen, Maryland outpatient clinic of Addiction Recovery Systems, a mid-Atlantic network that has provided medication-assisted treatment since 2004. They treat opioid use disorder, including heroin and prescription painkiller addiction, and also help people struggling with alcohol, cocaine, and amphetamines. Their care follows a harm reduction philosophy, which recognizes that abstinence rarely happens overnight and that setbacks can occur during treatment. Services include medication-assisted treatment, standard outpatient counseling, intensive outpatient programming, and a medication-free outpatient track for people who don’t need medication.

The Aberdeen clinic offers methadone and buprenorphine (Suboxone or Subutex), paired with individual and group counseling, treatment planning, and case management. Their intensive outpatient program involves about nine hours of group work per week, along with individual sessions and family counseling, while DUI evaluations, screening, and virtual counseling options are also available. Walk-in admissions take one to two hours with an admissions counselor, nurse, and doctor, and patients who haven’t used for at least 12 hours can often start medication the same day. Early morning hours and dosing visits that typically last under 10 minutes make it easier to keep up with work and family, and patients can earn take-home doses as they progress, with self-pay patients covered by a daily rate that includes medication, medical visits, monthly drug screens, and counseling.
