Glen Burnie, located in Anne Arundel County just south of Baltimore along the Route 2 corridor, is home to a tight-knit working-class community where opioid and alcohol use disorders have touched many families. Residents across Glen Burnie, Linthicum, Severn, and surrounding Anne Arundel County communities no longer need to travel far for compassionate, evidence-based addiction treatment. Icon Medicine offers board-certified MAT telehealth — bringing same-day Suboxone and alcohol treatment care to your home, anywhere in Maryland.
Glen Burnie and the broader Anne Arundel County area sit at the crossroads of several Maryland communities deeply affected by opioid and alcohol use disorders. The Route 2 corridor connects residents to Baltimore to the north, but accessing specialized addiction treatment has historically required travel, wait lists, and navigating a fragmented healthcare system. That ends with telehealth MAT.
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is the gold standard approach for opioid use disorder (OUD) and alcohol use disorder (AUD), combining FDA-approved medications with compassionate clinical oversight. For OUD, buprenorphine (Suboxone) stabilizes brain chemistry, eliminates withdrawal symptoms, and dramatically reduces cravings — without producing a high. For AUD, naltrexone blocks the pleasurable effects of alcohol, reducing cravings and heavy drinking episodes.
Icon Medicine's board-certified providers are licensed in Maryland and can prescribe Suboxone or naltrexone via secure telehealth visit — no matter where you are in Glen Burnie, Linthicum Heights, Severn, Hanover, or anywhere across Anne Arundel County. You start care from home. Your prescription goes to your chosen local pharmacy. No commute, no stigma, no waiting room.
Recovery is not something that should require a trip to Baltimore. It's available right where you are.
You may be a strong candidate for telehealth MAT if any of the following apply. No referral required. No prior treatment history needed. We meet Glen Burnie and Anne Arundel County residents exactly where they are.
Using prescription opioids (Oxycodone, Hydrocodone, Fentanyl) or heroin and experiencing cravings, withdrawal symptoms, or loss of control over use. Fentanyl-laced substances have made the Anne Arundel County opioid crisis more urgent than ever.
Drinking more than intended, unable to cut back, experiencing cravings or withdrawal, or continuing to drink despite negative consequences at work or at home. Naltrexone and Vivitrol are FDA-approved MAT options available via telehealth anywhere in Maryland.
Want to avoid local clinic waiting rooms or being recognized while picking up addiction medication. Our 100% telehealth model means treatment is entirely private — between you and your provider. Prescriptions sent to any pharmacy in Glen Burnie or Anne Arundel County.
Recently completed inpatient or outpatient detox and want medication support to maintain recovery. Or relapsed after prior treatment and ready for a new, medication-supported approach. Many Anne Arundel County residents find telehealth MAT easier to sustain than in-person clinic requirements.
Glen Burnie residents often work demanding schedules. Telehealth MAT removes the need to take time off work to travel to a clinic. Evening and weekend appointments available. Start treatment without disrupting your job or family responsibilities.
Experiencing withdrawal symptoms right now — sweating, nausea, muscle aches, anxiety, or insomnia. We can often start buprenorphine the same day as your telehealth visit, providing rapid relief for Glen Burnie residents in active opioid withdrawal.
Getting started is simple. No travel to Baltimore. No clinic appointment required. Here's exactly what happens from your first contact to your first prescription as a Glen Burnie or Anne Arundel County patient.
Schedule online at any time or call (240) 966-4266. We offer same-day video appointments for Glen Burnie residents — no referral required, no paperwork ahead of time. Your visit is protected by HIPAA and by 42 CFR Part 2 federal substance use disorder confidentiality law. No one will know you called unless you choose to tell them.
Your board-certified provider reviews your substance use history, current medications, and medical history via secure video. For opioid use disorder, we use the COWS scale to assess readiness for same-day buprenorphine. For alcohol use disorder, we review your drinking history and any withdrawal symptoms to ensure safe naltrexone prescribing. The evaluation takes 45–60 minutes and is thorough but conversational.
If you're in mild-to-moderate opioid withdrawal, we prescribe buprenorphine/naloxone (Suboxone) during your first visit. The prescription is sent electronically to any pharmacy you choose in Glen Burnie, Linthicum, Severn, or anywhere in Anne Arundel County — CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid, Giant, Safeway, or an independent pharmacy. Most fill it within a few hours.
We schedule close telehealth follow-ups during your first two weeks to ensure your dose is correct. Cravings typically reduce significantly within the first 48–72 hours. Withdrawal symptoms resolve within 24 hours of your first buprenorphine dose for most patients. We adjust until you feel stable and functional.
After stabilization, we meet monthly via telehealth to monitor progress, renew prescriptions, and address any co-occurring mental health concerns like anxiety or depression. We can connect Glen Burnie patients with Anne Arundel County counselors, peer support specialists, and recovery community resources in your area.
There is no arbitrary endpoint. Evidence strongly supports longer MAT duration for better outcomes. When you and your provider agree the time is right, we create a personalized tapering plan. We also connect Glen Burnie and Anne Arundel County patients with local peer support programs, the SAMHSA National Helpline (1-800-662-4357), and community-based recovery resources.

In most cases, same day. If you call on a weekday morning and are in mild-to-moderate opioid withdrawal (8–12 hours since your last short-acting opioid, or 24+ hours for longer-acting opioids), you can have a telehealth appointment the same day and receive your buprenorphine/naloxone (Suboxone) prescription sent to a Glen Burnie or Anne Arundel County pharmacy within hours. Most pharmacies fill it the same day. For alcohol use disorder treatment, naltrexone can also be prescribed during your first telehealth visit with no waiting period required.
Yes, entirely. Icon Medicine's MAT program is 100% telehealth for Maryland patients. You never need to visit a clinic, office, or treatment center. Your appointment is conducted via secure video call (or phone if needed). Your prescription is sent electronically to the pharmacy of your choice in Glen Burnie. Research since 2020 has consistently shown that telehealth buprenorphine treatment produces outcomes equivalent to — and in some studies better than — in-person treatment, largely because it removes the transportation and scheduling barriers that often cause patients to drop out of treatment.
Icon Medicine serves all of Maryland via telehealth. Locally, we serve Glen Burnie and all of Anne Arundel County, including Linthicum, Linthicum Heights, Severn, Hanover, Pasadena, Brooklyn Park, Ferndale, Harundale, Pumphrey, Marley, and Curtis Bay.

Yes. Icon Medicine treats both opioid use disorder (OUD) and alcohol use disorder (AUD) for Glen Burnie and Anne Arundel County patients. For AUD, we prescribe naltrexone — available as a daily oral pill or as a monthly Vivitrol injection that removes the need to remember a daily dose. Naltrexone works by blocking the brain's reward response to alcohol, significantly reducing cravings and the pleasurable effects of drinking. It can be started without any prior period of abstinence and does not require a history of opioid use. Studies show it reduces heavy drinking days by 25% or more and increases abstinence rates significantly. You do not need to be struggling with opioids to qualify for MAT at Icon Medicine — alcohol use disorder treatment is available as a standalone service for Glen Burnie residents.
MAT is covered by most insurance plans. Glen Burnie residents on Maryland Medicaid often have full coverage for telehealth MAT visits and prescriptions. We accept:
