A Helping Hand

What the SAMHSA Record Shows About A Helping Hand

A Helping Hand is a substance use treatment operated by Private for-profit organization in Gwynn Oak, Maryland. The facility's N-SUMHSS record lists 2 primary care modalities (outpatient, telehealth), which shapes both how treatment is delivered and how intake is scheduled. Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is reported as available, meaning FDA-approved medications such as methadone, buprenorphine, or naltrexone may be combined with counseling for opioid or alcohol use disorder. The full postal address on file is 6401 Dogwood Road, Suite 201, Gwynn Oak, MD 21207.

On the services side, the facility self-reports 7 distinct service lines (Cognitive behavioral therapy, Intensive outpatient, Medication-assisted treatment (MAT), Motivational interviewing, Outpatient, Substance use treatment, Telehealth), 2 substance or condition categories treated (General substance use disorders, Opioids), and 5 clinical treatment approaches (Cognitive behavioral therapy, Contingency management/motivational incentives, Motivational interviewing, Substance use disorder counseling, Telemedicine/telehealth therapy). It serves 2 specific population groups (Adults, Young adults) with 0 languages of care. Those figures give a rough signal of programmatic breadth, a higher number of approaches and populations usually indicates more structured clinical programming rather than a single-modality operation. Payment-wise, the record confirms Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, plus 4 specific payment methods enumerated in the survey (Cash or self-payment, Medicaid, Medicare, Private health insurance).

A Helping Hand's SAMHSA record documents fewer attributes (21) than the typical Maryland facility (state median: 34, out of 583 listed statewide). That is common for smaller or newly-surveyed programs and does not mean fewer services are actually offered, it means fewer were self-reported to SAMHSA.

SAMHSA fields are self-reported by the facility and refreshed on a rolling basis, so wait times, bed availability, current insurance contracts, and staff credentials are best confirmed on a direct intake call to (410) 653-0021.
