Where we serve · Howard County
You don’t have to leave the county to do this work. Glass House is in Old Ellicott City — PHP, IOP, and dual-diagnosis treatment for adults across Howard County, close enough that getting to group several times a week is realistic instead of aspirational.
Most of the people we treat live minutes away. We’re in the heart of Old Ellicott City, off the US-40 / I-70 corridor, which puts us a short drive from Columbia, Ellicott City, Elkridge, Clarksville, Fulton, and the rest of the county.
Outpatient care only works if you can get there reliably — and for Howard County residents, the commute isn’t the obstacle it becomes when people drive in from farther out. That matters more than it sounds: the single biggest predictor of whether outpatient treatment works is whether you keep showing up.
Two levels of outpatient care, both dual-diagnosis by default because addiction rarely travels alone. PHP is a full-day, high-structure program for people who need serious traction without going inpatient. IOP is a flexible afternoon program for people doing real recovery work while staying connected to job, school, and family.
If you’re stepping down from detox or residential, or trying to stop a spiral before it gets worse, we’ll help you find the right starting point — honestly, with no hard sell. Both programs treat substance use alongside co-occurring mental health conditions.
Old Ellicott City, at 8318 Forrest St, Suite 100. We’re central to Columbia, Elkridge, Clarksville, and Fulton, and easy to reach off US-40 and I-70.
No. Glass House is a Howard County program built for people who’d rather not commute to Baltimore or DC several times a week. The work happens here.
We accept most commercial plans (BCBS/CareFirst, Cigna, Aetna, TRICARE) and Maryland Medicaid (HealthChoice). We verify your specific benefits and walk you through any out-of-pocket cost before you commit.
Yes — especially in IOP, which is built around afternoon groups so you can hold a job or stay in school. Flexibility is the point; consistency is non-negotiable.
One short message is enough. We’ll help you figure out the right level of care and what your insurance covers — usually the same business day.
