The Co-Occurring Disorders Unit at Sheppard Pratt’s Towson campus in Baltimore, Maryland, is a specialized 20-bed inpatient program designed for adults ages 18 to 65 who are navigating the challenges of both mental illness and substance use disorders. This short-term psychiatric unit focuses on crisis stabilization, providing a safe, structured environment where individuals can begin their recovery journey. With an average stay of seven to eight days, the unit’s goal is to help patients safely move toward a less-intensive level of care as soon as possible.
Patients often come to the unit during times of acute crisis, when substance use and mental health symptoms have escalated due to stress, life challenges, or recurring issues. The care team provides comprehensive support that includes detoxification assistance, medication management, and therapy. Beyond clinical treatment, the unit offers education and guidance for patients and their families, ensuring they have the tools and knowledge needed for continued recovery after discharge. Each care plan is individualized, recognizing that no two recovery paths are alike.
With a compassionate team of experts, Sheppard Pratt’s Co-Occurring Disorders Unit serves as a starting point for long-term healing. By combining psychiatric care with substance use treatment, the facility addresses the complex needs of patients with co-occurring conditions, offering hope, stability, and the foundation for a healthier future.
My mom was a patient of Dr. Victorine Ngang for about 5 years, and she has been absolutely the best thing that ever happened to her. She is so caring, responsive, and takes a wholistic approach to her clients' care. She has reached and maintained the best quality of life possible because of Dr. Vicky's comprehensive care. She is by far the best psychiatrist that my mom has ever worked with and I would highly recommend her to anyone.
Transformations has changed my life. It has been such a blessing in my life. The treatment I am receiving here is amazing. You see A psychiatrist for your mental health meds, a psychologist to go with therapy. An additional therapist. A doctor for your addiction and other health issues. A nurse so they can address any needs you have that you didn’t take care of. A case worker totake you to important appointments. Help you with housing. A network I cant say enough about this program. I love it and I love the staff they accepted me and cared about me every step of the way. I would highly recommend this program to anyone. I came from another state to find treatment and was blessed to find this program. Thank youbTransformations for saving my life! 🙏❤️
I would recommend seeking treatment with "Outreach" to anyone who is tired of being treated like a second class citizen at their clinics. Dr. Ross & associates are professional and even better, fast. I am in & out in usually less than 30-45 minutes.
