The decision to seek addiction treatment is life-changing, and for Maryland students, the choice of where to receive that treatment can significantly impact success rates. While out-of-state treatment centers often market themselves as the ideal solution, research shows that staying close to home can provide distinct advantages for long-term recovery.
