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.

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.

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.

Trauma Therapy

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.

Due to a culmination of events, my health went to hell a few years ago and had a huge effect on my mental state. Went to Fort D. for help for depression/anxiety, insomnia and back/knee pain. Primary care doctor (Dr. "Benegalrao) refused to give me anything for the pain, insomnia or psych. issues. The psych. doctor (Koirala, who I waited 6 weeks to see and who was 20 minutes late for our appointment) insisted on giving me hydoxyzine for my insomnia, even though moments before I had told him that I had tried hydroxyzine for months and it had been ineffectual, but that's what I got. The complete lack of any direct alleviation of my issues or any kind of effective medical intervention reached its zenith when the social worker, Chris Carr blamed me for the psychiatrist's insistence on prescribing hydroxyzine. According to Carr, it was my fault that I didn't articulate my needs adequately enough to the psychiatrist. I would think being an M.D. would ensure an above average comprehension of spoken English, but apparently not. This, according to Carr, and needles to say, at 57 years of age, I cared very little to be lectured and condescended to by some boy about a conversation I had with someone else for which he wasn't even present. The one thing that was identical about all three of them was a complete lack of interest in and unwillingness to listen to my history, needs and desires. Instead, all I got back from all of them was the expectation that I conform to their instructions, no matter how many times I told them I've tried and used their ideas and prescriptions for a long time already, and that those ideas and prescriptions had not worked and I needed something else. I was consistently and utterly ignored by all of them. And here and now, 6+ weeks after I first showed up there, my knee and back pain, my depression/anxiety/anger and my insomnia are all notably worse. Needless to say, I changed my primary care doctor and will not seek out the other two ever again. What's the point of talking to people who just don't listen and just don't care, when they both obviously did not? Quite simply, all of them were not "health care professionals" or "care givers" in any active and meaningful sense. They were just obstructive bureaucrats and anyone in medical need deserves better, especially veterans. The V.A. has done a lot of good things for me. It can be and often is a valuable and reliable resource. But it is has very cancerous subculture that negates a lot of the good it does and the three I described above definitively represent that toxic subculture. On a positive note, I will say, the folks at the front desk were all very friendly and as helpful as one could ask as well as the people with whom I've spoken with in the Martinburg transportation service as well as the ophthalmology/optometrists there.

I keep calling to get simple information about an ID. I keep getting put through to the wrong people who have no idea.

Christopher Mills

Excellent experience. I was called in when my appointment was scheduled on all occasions. I'm impressed by how thorough my PCP (Dr. S) was, and with the level of follow-up I received. Thank you for your support!

I recently transferred my medical care to this facility. I read through the comments here and see that most are nearly a year old or older. This CBOC is fantastic. I'm promptly greeted and taken care of quickly and professionally. The staff truly shows they care about me.

Sarah Ridenour

The facility isn't terrible itself but Dr.B is awful! She makes getting actual care nearly impossible. DONT go to her if the hospital told you it's urgent to have your gallbladder removed, she will make you wait until concerns of being septic arise and even then, treat you as if you're merely just inconveniencing her. Dismissive is an understatement. Just don't actually get sick at all and you'll be fine in her care, as the only thing she provides is a bad attitude and headaches.

I recently went there with my dad. I was surprised at how unprofessional the front staff was. That was the woman right in front of where the line starts. She doesn't say hi or anything, just "last name." I feel she should treat veterans like my dad better than this. My dad is easy going so he didn't say anything except to me "this is the VA. that's how they are." Since most of the posts here are old, I'm not sure if the manager of this place looks at these. But if he or she does, hope you all do better for our veterans. Oh, I noticed the other staff to the left was nice when talking to veterans. So a big difference between those two.

Very disappointed with my first experience at this VA clinic as a new resident in Frederick. Mainly because the person at the front desk (black woman) just ignored me while I just stood there. When she finally looked up from the computer and spoke, she did so very softly. With her mask on and the screen, it was impossible to hear her. My asking her to repeat herself seemed to irritate her more. I was just trying to get established here. That was it. I felt like a burden. I don't know why the VA hires people for customer service who obviously don't want to provide customer service. Please provide training to this unfriendly and unhelpful staff.

Lee McGraw

Have always treated me grey well here.

Robert Olds
