Integrated Treatment in an Urban Setting

AGS Programs LLC offers outpatient, intensive outpatient (IOP), and partial hospitalization (PHP) programs in Baltimore for people managing substance use and mental health challenges. Clients receive counseling, psychiatric evaluations, and medication management through the facility’s Outpatient Mental Health Clinic. Care is designed to fit into daily life, allowing clients to stay connected to work, school, and family while participating in treatment.

Rehabilitation and Supportive Housing

The facility’s psychiatric rehabilitation program (PRP) focuses on building life and social skills that help clients live more independently. Both adolescents and adults benefit from training in daily routines, wellness self-management, and employment readiness. For added stability, AGS offers low-intensity housing with features such as private bathrooms and outdoor space, creating a safe and structured environment that reduces relapse risk while encouraging independence.

Specialized Programs and Therapies

AGS uses evidence-based therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, trauma counseling, relapse prevention, and the Matrix Model. The center also provides a DUI/DWI education track and supports diverse populations including veterans, pregnant and postpartum women, older adults, people with HIV/AIDS, trauma survivors, and justice-involved clients. Telehealth expands access to care, and services include individual, family, and group therapy to reinforce recovery through supportive relationships.

Community Commitment and Accessibility

With a mission to improve behavioral health in Baltimore and surrounding communities, AGS extends treatment through aftercare planning, naloxone education, outcome follow-up, and connections to peer mentoring, housing resources, and employment counseling. The organization is CARF-accredited and licensed by the state, accepting Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, and self-payment.

Quality and Trust

A

Trust Score

A simple A–E grade that offers a quick view of how much confidence you might place in a facility. It’s not a guarantee of quality or outcomes, but a data-informed tool to help guide your search. More on our methodology.

Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities

CARF reviews rehab programs to make sure they provide respectful, effective, and personalized care. For addiction treatment, CARF uses standards developed with the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM), so this accreditation shows the program follows trusted, evidence-based guidelines for treating substance use.

How we research treatment facilities

Across the site, our team has conducted over 1,000 pre-admissions calls to better understand the patient experience, interviewed facility clinical leaders, performed facility background checks, and compared our information against trusted public data sources.

Our research process begins with data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), accrediting bodies including The Joint Commission and CARF, government licensing agencies, and other trusted sources. From there, our team conducts significant original research, including:

- Pre-admissions calls: We speak with admissions staff to get a candid picture of patient experience.

- Background checks: We review complaints from past clients, media reports, actions taken by accrediting bodies, and positive recognition from notable organizations.

- Clinical interviews: We have in-depth conversations with clinical leadership, often lasting up to one hour, that give us a better understanding of clinical care.

- Data partnerships: We ingest and analyze exclusive data that provides information about in-network insurance status, cost, and more.

Research varies by facility. Each facility profile shows which research steps we completed and when each step was last performed. Learn more about our research process and background checks.

How we evaluate treatment facilities

These data help us develop a Trust Score for each facility—a simple letter grade that helps you assess how much confidence to place in a facility based on the information available to us. Trust Score considers accreditation, operating history, notable recognition, and concerns identified during our background check. Our Trust Score is an objective rating that is never influenced by advertiser payment. Learn more about our Trust Score methodology.

Important disclaimer

We cannot guarantee the quality of treatment at any facility. We cannot independently confirm the accuracy of every data point, and some information may become outdated or change over time. A Trust Score is a starting point, not a guarantee of treatment quality or outcomes. Please contact us if you would like to update or correct facility information.
