Healthy Foundations Group

Healthy Foundations Group is a behavioral health care center for kids, teens and adults in Bethesda, Maryland. They offer outpatient therapy services for individuals, groups and families. Their goal is to help you work through any academic, social or emotional issue you’re experiencing, including substance abuse. Their therapy sessions are available in person and online through a telehealth platform.

Their recovery approach is twofold. First they focus on psychotherapy, led by a team of skilled therapists. Once you decide on a schedule that works for you, you’ll meet with your therapist regularly to discuss and work through your challenges.

Their second focus is pharmacotherapy. While they mostly treat through holistic and therapeutic alternatives, they know that medication is sometimes necessary for full recovery. When this is the case, they have trained team members who are experienced and skilled in administering those solutions.

Something I like about this facility is that they also offer intensive outpatient care through an offering called The Heartwood Program. This program includes many different types of training and services, including age specific substance abuse groups. If you’re struggling with chemical dependency, you can attend their weekly peer support meetings to discuss ways to deal with various challenges. You’ll learn healthy ways to handle stress, manage conflict, build relationships, and improve your self esteem as you recover from addiction.

Inpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.
