Online Behavioral Health & Substance Awareness Classes in Maryland

Need a flexible behavioral health and substance-awareness class you can complete from Maryland? CourtCure offers self-paced online courses focused on decision-making, substance-related risks, and personal wellness. Multiple length options—4, 8, 12, 16, 24, 30, and 60 hours—let you match what a Maryland court, probation agent, attorney, employer, or school has asked you to complete. Because requirements here are set by the requesting authority, not by a single statewide rule, we strongly recommend confirming the exact hours, delivery format (online vs. in‑person), provider type, deadline, and documentation they will accept before you enroll. This page highlights how referrals commonly work in Maryland and where special rules may apply, so you can choose confidently and get started today.

Maryland does not have one statewide standard for general “behavioral health and substance awareness” education. Instead, acceptance depends on the specific court, probation officer, attorney diversion agreement, employer, or school that referred you. Several Maryland systems can be involved: • Courts and problem‑solving courts. The Maryland Judiciary operates problem‑solving court programs (such as adult drug treatment courts and mental health courts) across multiple counties. These programs coordinate judicial supervision with treatment and services; individual programs set their own participation and completion requirements. If your case is in a problem‑solving court, ask your coordinator or attorney exactly what type of education or treatment is required and whether an online awareness class is appropriate. • Probation and parole. The Division of Parole and Probation can require education or counseling as a supervision condition and may direct you to particular services or formats. Always confirm with your supervising agent or Drinking Driver Monitor whether an online class from a third‑party provider is acceptable and what documentation is needed. • Maryland Department of Health (Behavioral Health Administration). BHA regulates and licenses behavioral health programs in the public system under state regulations. Licensing generally applies to clinical treatment programs (including early intervention levels), not to general awareness classes like this one. If your order specifies a Maryland‑licensed or Department‑approved program, you will likely need a clinical provider rather than a general online course. • Special DUI/controlled‑substance conditions. Under Maryland’s Probation Before Judgment statute for DUI and certain drug offenses, courts typically require participation in an alcohol or drug education or treatment program approved by the Maryland Department of Health. Separately, the MDOT MVA Alcohol Education Program (AEP) is a specific requirement administered by the MVA after certain driving incidents. This CourtCure awareness course is not a substitute for those Department‑approved or MVA‑assigned programs. Verify your situation before enrolling.

Acceptance in Maryland is determined by the requesting authority. Before purchasing, ask the court, probation officer, attorney, employer, school, or agency to confirm: the required number of hours (4–60), whether an online, self‑paced course is allowed, any requirement to use a Maryland‑licensed/approved provider, your completion deadline, and what your proof of completion must include. If your case involves Probation Before Judgment for DUI or a controlled‑substance offense, or you were referred to the MDOT MVA Alcohol Education Program (AEP), you will typically need a Maryland Department of Health–approved or MVA‑assigned program; a general awareness class like this is not intended for those purposes. When a referral is for general education (e.g., part of a diversion agreement or employment policy), this course may fit—just confirm the details in advance to avoid delays or repeat work.
