Baltimore has one of Maryland's highest rates of alcohol use disorder — and too few treatment options that meet patients where they are. Icon Medicine brings FDA-approved MAT for AUD directly to Baltimore City and Baltimore County residents via secure telehealth: same-day naltrexone, Vivitrol injections, acamprosate, and disulfiram, prescribed by a board-certified provider, from home.
Alcohol use disorder affects roughly 15% of Maryland adults — and Baltimore City has historically had the state's highest rates of alcohol-related hospitalizations and overdose deaths involving alcohol. Yet access to evidence-based medication treatment remains severely limited, with long wait times at specialty clinics and a shortage of providers willing to treat AUD with the same rigor as opioid use disorder.
Icon Medicine bridges that gap with a telehealth MAT practice that treats AUD with the same standards as OUD treatment: FDA-approved medications, board-certified prescribers, same-day availability, and 42 CFR Part 2 confidentiality protections. Whether you're in Fells Point, Federal Hill, Mount Vernon, or any neighborhood across Baltimore City and County, you can start MAT from home.
Four medications are available — each suited to different patients, goals, and levels of support. Your Icon Medicine provider will determine which is clinically appropriate based on your drinking history, co-occurring conditions, liver function, and personal preference.
Icon Medicine prescribes all four FDA-approved medications for AUD. Your provider will recommend the most clinically appropriate option based on your history, goals, and health profile.
Daily pill. Reduces alcohol cravings and blocks the rewarding effects of drinking. Requires 7 days alcohol-free before starting.
Daily pillMonthly intramuscular injection of extended-release naltrexone. One shot per month — no daily pill. Administered at certified clinics.
Monthly injectionDaily pill. Helps restore brain chemistry after prolonged alcohol use. Best for patients who have already stopped drinking and want to stay abstinent.
Daily pillDaily pill. Creates an unpleasant reaction (nausea, flushing) if alcohol is consumed while taking it. Works as a deterrent for motivated patients.
Deterrent therapyNo waiting lists, no drive across town, no stigma. Every step of your AUD treatment — from first visit to ongoing management — happens via secure telehealth from your Baltimore home.
Schedule online or call (240) 966-4266. Same-day slots are available for Baltimore City and Baltimore County residents. Tell our scheduler you need AUD/MAT treatment — we'll match you with a same-day slot. No referral, no waiting list.
Your initial visit includes a full AUD assessment: drinking history, readiness to change, co-occurring mental health conditions, liver function review, and medication options discussion. If naltrexone or acamprosate is appropriate, your first prescription can be sent the same day. If Vivitrol is recommended, we'll coordinate with a certified injection clinic in the Baltimore area.
Your prescription is sent electronically to your preferred Baltimore pharmacy — Walgreens, CVS, Rite Aid, Giant, Safeway, or any local independent in Baltimore City or County. Most patients pick up same day. Maryland Medicaid covers naltrexone and acamprosate without prior authorization for Baltimore residents.
Ongoing AUD treatment includes monthly telehealth visits to monitor progress, adjust medication, address cravings or setbacks, and coordinate with any additional support (counseling, AA, intensive outpatient). Your provider is available between visits for questions — not just at monthly appointments.
Baltimore's AUD treatment gap is real. Long waits at specialty clinics, insufficient prescribers, and stigma keep patients from getting the help they need. Icon Medicine's telehealth model is built to close that gap — for Baltimore residents who need treatment now.
Icon Medicine offers same-day telehealth slots for Baltimore City and Baltimore County residents. Call (240) 966-4266 or book online — many Baltimore patients start MAT within hours of their first call.
Naltrexone, Vivitrol, acamprosate, and disulfiram — all FDA-approved for AUD. Your provider helps you choose the right one based on your history, goals, and health profile. No one-size-fits-all approach.
Your AUD treatment is protected under federal law (42 CFR Part 2). Information cannot be shared with employers, families, or insurers without your written consent. Particularly important in Baltimore's government and professional community.
Maryland Medicaid (JAI, Maryland Physician's Care, Priority Partners, United Healthcare Community Plan, and others) covers naltrexone and acamprosate without prior authorization for Baltimore patients. Most major commercial insurance also accepted.
No driving to a clinic. No waiting rooms. Every appointment — initial evaluation, follow-ups, medication adjustments — via secure HIPAA-compliant video from your Baltimore home, your office, or anywhere you choose.
Icon Medicine's board-certified family medicine provider holds full Maryland medical and DEA licensure to prescribe all four AUD medications via telehealth to Baltimore City and County residents.
Every Icon Medicine patient gets the same standard of care — thorough evaluation, evidence-based medication, and ongoing support — regardless of where they live in the Baltimore metro area.
