Types of Addiction and Mental Health Disorders in Maryland
Here are some of the most common disorders we address in the context of addiction and mental health treatment in Maryland:
- Addiction treatment – This includes dependence on alcohol, opioids, stimulants, prescription medications, marijuana, process addictions (such as gambling), and other substance-use disorders. We recognize that addiction often co-exists with mental health disorders and thus treat both simultaneously.
- Mood disorders – These consist of conditions such as major depressive disorder, persistent depressive disorder (dysthymia), bipolar I and II disorders, and cyclothymia. Mood disorders frequently overlap with substance misuse and require integrated care.
- Eating disorders – Disorders such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge-eating disorder, and other specified feeding or eating disorders are increasingly recognized in combination with addictive behaviors and mental health issues, especially among adolescents and young adults.
- ADHD treatment – Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder often persists into adulthood, can interfere with daily functioning, and may increase vulnerability to addiction, impulsivity, and co-occurring mental health issues.
These categories represent only part of the complex landscape of behavioral health. Many individuals will experience co-occurring disorders (also called dual diagnosis) and require a coordinated approach that addresses both addiction and mental health challenges.
Facts About Addiction and Mental Health in Maryland
Maryland faces serious challenges related to addiction and mental health. Recent SAMHSA data show that about 16.87% of residents aged 12 or older meet the criteria for a substance use disorder, yet most do not receive treatment. Mental health concerns are also widespread, with more than one million adults living with a mental illness and over 250,000 experiencing a serious mental illness. Youth data is equally concerning, as more than one-third of middle and high school students report feeling persistently sad or hopeless.
Maryland’s behavioral-health system also struggles with access. The state ranks 12th nationally for addiction treatment availability, with just over six rehab facilities per 100,000 residents and limited per-capita mental-health funding. These gaps highlight the need for timely, integrated care, something The Care Clinic is committed to delivering for individuals and families across Maryland.
