The Bergand Group

What The Bergand Group does

The Bergand Group is a privately held outpatient healthcare practice specializing in the treatment of alcohol and drug addiction, mental health disorders, and co-occurring (dual diagnosis) conditions, operating from two state-certified locations in Lutherville (Baltimore County) and Fallston (Harford County), Maryland. The practice was founded by Dr. John R. Steinberg and Dr. Paul Giannandrea, each with over 40 years of practice experience, and is staffed by clinicians and clinical coordinators all with 20+ years in the mental health and addiction fields. The service portfolio centers on an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) supported by general and addiction psychiatry, medication management (Suboxone, Vivitrol, and Sublocade), five evidence-based group therapy models, Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention, outpatient detox/withdrawal management, state-certified DUI/DWI educational and aftercare programs, and psychoeducational programming.

The underlying clinical platform is not technology-based but rather a multidisciplinary treatment protocol: pharmacologic therapy including antagonist and blocking agents, buprenorphine for detox and maintenance, individualized therapist matching, 12-step integration, and flexible scheduling across day, evening, weekend, and virtual sessions. The practice does not develop proprietary software; its differentiation rests on clinical expertise, regulatory certifications (state-certified IOP, MVA/DHMH-approved DUI programs), and a true Dual Diagnosis treatment model that addresses psychiatric and addiction disorders simultaneously rather than sequentially.

The business model is fee-for-service healthcare delivery reimbursed primarily through major private insurance and Maryland Medicaid, supplemented by private-pay clients. Patient acquisition is referral-driven (professional referrals, court/MVA referrals for DUI programs) and supported by content marketing, local SEO across six Maryland counties, and organic social media (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn). The practice employs approximately 11 staff members across its two offices, has no external institutional investment or parent company, and is operated under founder/physician ownership with both founders maintaining active clinical roles.
