Detox
My doctor was incompetent, instead of getting better I began with some withdrawal symptoms. When I talked about that with him, he took it personal and dismissed without a prior written intervention. They suck
About Hudson Behavioral Health
Hudson Behavioral Health is an addiction treatment organization in Salisbury, Maryland. The town is two hours outside of DC, and visitors can enjoy the view of the Wicomico River that flows right through it. The facility aims to provide clients with evidence-informed care that helps them llive drug and alcohol-free lives.
They’re accredited by the Joint Commission, which emphasizes their commitment to providing quality health services. The different services that Hudson Behavioral Health offers to clients include withdrawal management, residential treatment, and peer support services. They also provide recovery support groups and Narcan training.
Every client will meet with a nursing staff and physician to determine if withdrawal management will be necessary. If it’s determined to be necessary, clients will start taking medication to help manage their symptoms. You’ll also be participating in counseling within the first few days of detox. In residential treatment, patients will either participate in medium or high-intensity treatment for addiction. The home you’ll be staying in is located on a secluded campus that will provide you the peace to focus on your recovery.
The treatments you’ll receive include daily group therapy sessions, alternative therapy groups, and peer support. Clients will also participate in individual counseling once a week and have the option to have family sessions when appropriate.
Hudson Behavioral Health also has a lower-intensity residential facility that will continue to prepare you to live a sober and independent lifestyle. Some holistic treatments available to clients include yoga and the Drumming Off Drugs program. This program involves relating recovery analogies to what clients learn during drumming sessions to help boost self-esteem and reduce anxiety.

Hi Marie, I am sorry to hear about your opinion of Hudson. We only use research informed medication and tapering protocols for all of our patients that need medication. We are an abstinence-based program, so we truly only use medication that is absolutely necessary. We also do not currently receive any compensation for medicating our patients, and any medication given is to make our patients feel comfortable. Our staff's number one goal is exceptional patient care. There is a large percentage of our staff in recovery, so their passion and commitment often shows in the hard work that they put in. If you have any other questions or concerns, please reach out to us at 410-219-9000. Have a great day, HBH
Staff was amazing in all aspects.

Other Forms of Payment
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.
Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
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.
Inpatient Hudson Health Services offers Residential Treatment at their campus in Salisbury, Maryland. Known as ASAM Level 3.7, or Medically Monitored Intensive Inpatient Services, this level of care is appropriate for patients with co-occurring medical, emotional, or behavioral disorders that are severe enough to require 24/7 monitoring, but not severe enough to warrant a hospital admission. Withdrawal Management services are often coupled with this level of care.
Aftercare Support Clients receiving support in a rehab aftercare program typically partner with their case manager and care team to identify and access the services that best align with their recovery needs and goals. Rehab aftercare services are designed to evolve with clients' changing needs to promote their long-term sobriety. Care modalities are highly customized and may include a range of medical, mental health, and social service resources, including peer coaching, career counseling, and 12 step program induction.
12-Step They believe that participation in a recovery support group is one of the determining factors in how succesful a person is in their recovery journey. They also believe that there is no one size fits all program to meet the individual needs of their patients. Therefore, Hudson Health Services provides a variety of recovery support groups on their treatment campus, including Narcotics Anonymous, Alcoholics Anonymous, SMART Recovery, and Celebrate Recovery.
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.
24-Hour Clinical Care At certain points in the recovery process, it's important to have support available 24/7. 24-hour clinical care offers a safe environment in which to recover from drug or alcohol addiction in peace, knowing medical detox and other treatment will happen with professionals on hand.
Medically Assisted Detox Upon admission to Hudson Health Services, all patients meet with our physician and nursing staff to undergo a comprehensive medical evaluation to determine if withdrawal management services are necessary. Withdrawal Management, also known as detoxification, is the process of using medications to stabilize patients and address the physical withdrawal syndrome that is not only uncomfortable, but also potentially dangerous in some cases.
Withdrawal Management is a necessary first step for many patients. Because we individualize the process to meet each person’s needs, patients will be closely monitored by medical staff during the period of withdrawal management.
Treatments
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.
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.
Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
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 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.
Programs
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
LGBTQ Program
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.
Clinical Services
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.
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.
Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.
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.
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.
Creativity is inherently healing, and can help those in recovery express thoughts or feelings they might not otherwise be able to. Creative arts therapy can include music, poetry/writing, painting, sculpting, dance, theater, sandplay, and more. Unlike traditional art, the final product matters far less than the experience of creation and expression itself.
