About Frederick Rescue Mission
Frederick Rescue Mission offers Christian centered residential substance abuse treatment via their Change Life Recovery Program. They’re located in Frederick, Maryland. Change Life Recovery serves men aged 21 to 60 affected by substance use disorders. These include those fresh out of prison and men experiencing homelessness. Those who have been kicked out of their home due to extended periods of chemical dependency can also benefit from this program.
The program employs Biblical teachings to guide you away from the worldly behavior that influences substance use. The recovery classes and all aspects of the program are based on Christian principles. The focus is on bringing you closer to Jesus Christ and ensuring complete healing while helping you return to your family and society as a responsible adult.
This year long program consists of two phases. The first six months is the residential phase during which you’ll focus on spiritual growth and developing life skills in a structured environment. You’ll begin each day with a quiet time and Bible study before attending recovery classes. In the afternoon you’ll participate in service work followed by Chapel, Bible classes and evening recovery groups. You’ll take on different roles within the Mission and put your classroom knowledge to work in real life situations that prepare you for lasting recovery and personal growth.
The second phase of the program places you in transitional housing. During this time you’ll focus on gaining independence and reintegrating into daily life while continuing your recovery. The goal is to complete your residential recovery with a GED or suitable education, accountability to a mentor or group and a stable job. This is in addition to becoming a passionate follower of Christ having overcome addiction. They also expect you to reconcile with family members and be actively connected in the local church community. This can streamline access to community resources for ongoing support. Comments from past clients reflect an overwhelmingly positive experience and exceptional quality of care.

Levels of Care
Outpatient
Clients who are exiting detox or intensive inpatient treatment often enroll in outpatient rehab programs to ensure a robust continuity of care. Outpatient programs allow clients to remain in or return to their homes and workplaces while continuing to receive treatment, which typically includes addiction counseling and recovery-focused life skills training. Clients in opioid and/or alcohol recovery may also receive medication assisted treatment (MAT), including medication induction and maintenance, at an outpatient facility.
Aftercare Support
Sober Living Homes
Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.

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.
Mental Health and Substance Abuse
A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.
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.
Clinical Services
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.
Life Skills
Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.
