In California, Maryland, Pyramid California Residential is a residential treatment center for men. It treats men who have substance use disorders along with co-occurring disorders. Its listing states that the center has operated since 1999, and among the 422 SAMHSA-listed facilities in Maryland, it is one.

The program is phased, meaning men take on more responsibility as they progress. Later stages may include work and volunteering opportunities. Treatment combines individual therapy with group work and 12-Step meetings. Psychiatrists manage medications for mental health conditions, and medication-assisted treatment is available, especially for opiate use.

Highways 4 and 235 run close by, so people living across St. Mary's County can reach the center without much trouble. The facility also runs free rides to and from its location. Riders on public transit have it easy too: lines 11, 12, and 1 let off roughly a 10-minute walk away.

Men living at the center receive care for mental health conditions that occur alongside substance use. Therapy options include individual counseling, cognitive behavioral therapy along with acceptance and commitment therapy together with dialectical behavior therapy, group sessions, life skills, medication-assisted treatment, and twelve step facilitation. The program describes itself as evidence-based, gender-specific, holistic, and individualized.

Medication-assisted treatment can ease cravings, especially where opiates are involved. Psychiatrists handle prescribing and ongoing medication management for conditions such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, OCD, PTSD, trauma, anger, and stress. The program also works with people who use benzodiazepines, cocaine, ecstasy, heroin, prescription drugs, psychedelics, and synthetic drugs. If alcohol or benzodiazepine withdrawal worries you, a medical team should oversee the process since it can be dangerous. Medical monitoring may be part of how the center operates, though you should confirm the specifics with them directly.
