Tuerk House Inc - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Program

Urban Community-Based Care

Located in the heart of West Baltimore, Tuerk House is a nonprofit treatment system built around accessibility and community support. The facility provides a full continuum of care, including detox, residential treatment, partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), and outpatient programs, so clients can move between levels of care without leaving the system. Around-the-clock medical oversight in detox and structured residential schedules ensure safety and consistency at every stage.

Integrated Health and Onsite Pharmacy

Through the Andre Kennedy Center for Integrated Behavioral Health and Urgent Care, clients can access same-day mental health therapy, medications for co-occurring disorders, telehealth services, vaccinations, and lab testing. An onsite pharmacy allows prescriptions to be filled or refilled quickly, streamlining both recovery and general health needs in one location.

Peer, Family, and Real-World Support

Recovery at Tuerk House goes beyond treatment sessions. Peer mentors with lived experience provide consistent guidance through groups and one-on-one support. Family programs help loved ones understand the recovery process and build stronger support systems. Clients also benefit from vocational assistance, education services, and case management that connects them with housing and employment opportunities. Saturday DUI classes and court-ordered outpatient treatment broaden the facility’s role as a community resource.

Accessible and Affordable Options

Accessibility is a hallmark of Tuerk House. Evening and weekend admissions reduce wait times, and the nonprofit accepts many insurance plans while also offering a sliding-fee discount program. Transportation assistance ensures clients can reach medical appointments and next levels of care. Specialized services are available for older adults, veterans, justice-involved individuals, and people living with trauma or co-occurring conditions, reinforcing the facility’s mission to serve Baltimore residents with diverse and complex needs.
