Levels of Care

Intensive Outpatient

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

Outpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

12-Step

They believe their approach of combining the best of what the 12 step model has to offer with a truly integrated individual treatment plan gives their clients their best chance of achieving long term recovery. Their approach is via a treatment team that through substance abuse counseling addresses each client’s substance abuse issues in addition to any other co-occurring disorder. Statistically this approach to CODs offers the highest rate of recovery.

Treatment

Alcoholism

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

Drug Addiction

Once a person has become addicted to a substance, drug rehab in Maryland is often necessary to overcome that addiction. These programs provide the tools individuals need to manage the physical, mental, and emotional issues involved and begin a successful recovery journey.

Dual Diagnosis

Many people diagnosed with a substance abuse problem also struggle with mental illness. The current statistic is that 80% of those suffering with addiction are also dealing with a co-occurring disorder. Co-Occurring disorders may include depression, anxiety and trauma to name just a few. Austin Addiction & Mental Health Center bases each client’s individual treatment plan on an in-depth initial assessment. They specialize in treating COD’s.

Opioid Addiction

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Substance Abuse

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Couples Therapy

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

Family Therapy

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Group Therapy

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

Individual Therapy

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Counselors that aren't in recovery themselves have very little insight other than what they may have retained from school and tend to be too emotional. I highly recommend finding somewhere else if you have a choice. The other women who work there, not as counselors are great people.

I came to Austin Addictions in 2017 for the first time. I was very happy with the intake assessment and the professional staff, both in 2017 and current 2023. Over the years I worked closely with Paige Austin. She s a one in a million type of person she helped me in ways no one else has my whole 34 years on this earth. Paige helped me realize that as long as I am striving and working to be a better me that s all that matters and not to be concerned with others opinions on me. My favorite quote she always said to me was , A flower doesn t go around saying it s a flower. Austin s Addiction is where I finally got the strength to get my addictions under control and where I just so happened to meet my significant other. So thanks Austin Family! Highly recommend!!! I wish I could give more stars 5 is certainly not enough.

Counselors annd staff are caring and held me accountable. Was able to be open in the group setting. They won t let you give up on you which in turn means they will do whatever to help you out!

I have never felt more comfortable in a place. John and lisa have been my counselor and they are both phenomenal!! I had relapsed and they never gave up on me and called me bc they truly cared about my well being. And when I reached my rock bottom I had called them and they were able to help me get into a rehab that was suited for me. After 26 days in rehab I had returned to Austin addiction for IOP with lisa.and I have learned more about myself and have found my true identity.

My 16 y/o son was referred to drug treatment and had multiple behavioral issues in school as well as home. He was referred by the health dept per school policy, He was seen for several months and was "drug tested" however he was doing drugs that weren't showing up on the test. His behavior and mental affect was getting worse. Since he is over 14, they "didn't have to share" his progress with me although he signed a consent for permission to do so. He was discharged several months later although he was exhibiting odd behaviors, violent tendencies as well as still using. When I called and spoke with the counselor, she said, "He said he was doing fine" ...."He said".....They never called in family to discuss progress or get another perspective of his affect or behavior. He is now having more issues than ever and refuses to get help because, as he says, "I got help and they said I was fine & they discharged me". I am so worried about him. They had an opportunity and obligation to treat and help him but failed.

There is no place better to start a new way of life than Austin Addiction. I feel like I matter and like I'm a person and not a number. When real life happens Austin has always been there for me. Terry, Paige, Rick, Matt, Donna, and all the other staff treat you like family. Team Austin all the way

Chris

The Counselor took the time to get to know my daughter. We never felt like a number.They really care about their work and helping people! Even months after my daughter completed her program...they still responded to a request from us within the hour!Super impressed with the level of personalization and care!!

Tara Lunney

if Your on parole or probation trying to complete a treatment program I would highly advise not to choose this one. Its a set up for failure. The staff gossip amongst themselves. The tests are not accurate...it s just a mess. And the communication is ridiculous. The ones that run the class aren t prompt with paperwork they promise to fill out and don t. I m all about recovery but this place is a real handful. Maybe if you have room to mess up this place is good but if you have a lot to lose and want real help go somewhere else.

Jody Bell

I agree this place is a joke since Rick left. As a prominent business professional within Frederick, I have noticed family member experiencing major communication problems from within this organization, as well as accuracy of information reported. Would seriously reconsider treatment at Austin s clinic and seek services elsewhere, and to make extra efforts to ensure therapist-patient confidentiality is private and accurate.
