Tuerk House

We are an addiction treatment facility with an acute care unit, intensive outpatient, outpatient and

In the forty-three years that have passed since its humble start, Tuerk House has helped over 24,000 clients suffering from a broad and complex array of substance abuse and co-morbid problems. Today over 70% of men and women who come to Tuerk House for help are opiate dependent and they may be addicted to cocaine, alcohol and other drugs as well. In 2014, almost 1,300 Marylanders received addiction treatment in one of its programs. The treatment population is characterized by being below the poverty line (95%), jobless (65%) and homeless (74%). Many of our clients are referred to us by the judicial system. In addition to their addiction, many patients also have significant secondary medical problems. Tuerk House counselors are skilled at supporting their patients in sustaining recovery behaviors and in accessing supportive services, as well as providing services to prepare them to re-enter society as healthy, productive individuals. Daily, addicted people with HIV and AIDS, records of multiple felonies, significant histories of physical, sexual and emotional abuse, chronic psychiatric issues, and other chronic medical issues come to Tuerk House for help. With its full range of treatment services under one organizational roof, Tuerk House welcomes people from desperate circumstances and successfully moves them from homelessness and helplessness to the beginnings of recovery and self-sufficiency.

Meet our incredible Outreach Specialist, Vincent Timmons.

For nearly five years, Vincent has been helping people see that change is possible and that a better future is within reach.

So far, we have provided 500+ backpacks filled with school supplies to students who need them most. 🎒

When Vincent is not serving the community, he is an avid chess player. ♟️

Tuerk House proudly partnered with Naloxone Network to expand our reach into the Baltimore communities most impacted by substance use. We provided education on the opioid epidemic, distributed life-saving naloxone and harm reduction supplies, and shared meals with neighbors.

Together, we’re providing health beyond measure to Baltimore. ❤️

Prior to our opening in 1970, people struggling with addiction were detoxed in state hospitals and jails. Dr. Isadore Tuerk, the commissioner of the Maryland State Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, knew there was a more kindhearted way to help people find lifelong healing and recovery, which is why he founded Tuerk House. 👨‍⚕️

Over time, we have become a leader in addiction and recovery. Today, we serve over 300 patients each day on the East and West Coasts. We provide comprehensive care, solving community needs while spreading warmth and spirit to all of our patients. 💙

It’s time for another Fun Fact Friday!

Did you know that 99% of our patients are on Medicaid or are uninsured?

👩‍⚕️ At Tuerk House, we prioritize patients' health as opposed to their ability to pay. Any patient who walks through our doors will be welcomed with open arms and at no expense! Treatment is nerve-wracking enough and should be the focus, not the bill.
