Horrible. As a former patient, I can say it is not what these flowery five-star reviews mostly granted and/or written by affiliates, etc. (I've even seen some stars given by some of their staff) make it out to be, nor is it as "successful" or as "effective" long-term as they ...

Levels of Care
Outpatient
Outpatient therapy for alcohol and drug addiction, chemical dependency, and dual diagnosis issues is a step down from the IOP program. The outpatient program also includes individualized therapy sessions and group sessions. In this phase of treatment the client’s treatment plan will be changed to meet his/hers ongoing recovery needs. In the outpatient phase of treatment, the focus shifts towards external change, where clients will explore long-term goals and identify and break down barriers to recovery. Therapists at Maryland Addiction Recovery Center will continue to support the clients in the vocational, educational and emotional journeys
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.
Intensive Outpatient
Intensive Outpatient (IOP) addiction treatment is commonly used as either after care following residential treatment; a step down in intensity following successful completion of a residential treatment or inpatient 30 day treatment program. This next step in the treatment continuum increases the potential for a successful recovery by reintegrating the client into everyday life while remaining in ongoing treatment. Intensive Outpatient (IOP) can also be used as a step up in treatment intensity when a client struggles at a less intensive level of care such as an traditional outpatient group setting, individual therapy, individual drug counseling or DUI/DWI education setting.
12-Step
12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).
Sober Living Homes
Most sober living homes in Maryland are located in peaceful, quiet neighborhoods. These private residences are designed to offer a low-stress but structured environment where residents can focus on their ongoing recovery efforts and receive support to maintain sobriety. Several individuals, all of whom are in recovery, share the halfway house. This type of communal living helps decrease relapse, increase employment rates, and helps individuals hone their recovery skills.
Intervention Services
Intervention services helps family or friends of addicts stage an intervention, which is a meeting in which loved ones share their concerns and attempt to get an addict into treatment. Professional intervention specialists can help loved ones organize, gather, and communicate with an addict. They can guide intervention participants in describing the damage the addict's behavior is causing and that outside help is necessary to address the addiction. The ideal outcome of an intervention is for the addict to go to rehab and get the help they need.
Partial Hospitalization Program
A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term form of intensive rehab, usually for those with acute symptoms that are hard to manage but don’t require 24-hour care. PHPs have structured programming (i.e. individual and/or group therapy), and usually meet 3-5 days a week for around 6 hours (i.e. 9am-3m). Some PHPs are residential (patients sleep on site) and some are not, so patients sleep at home. PHPs can last from 1-6 months, and some offer transportation and meals.
Medically Assisted Detox
For those patients in need of detoxification from drugs and alcohol, Maryland Addiction Recovery Center offers a safe and comfortable medically supervised detox under the care of the center’s Medical Director. Upon entering treatment, each client is evaluated by the Medical Director to gain insight about their medical history, current use and abuse of drugs and alcohol, and detoxification needs. Maryland Addiction Recovery Center utilizes Suboxone to aid clients dealing with withdrawal symptoms from opiate addiction.

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 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.
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
Cognitive Behavior Therapy
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. They encourage their clients to continue individual counseling subsequent to successful completion of their recommended treatment program in order to improve their chances of successful recovery maintenance and to continue to gain insight about their life and the emotional challenges ahead.
Motivational Interviewing
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.
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.
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.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) in Maryland is a trauma focused therapy that uses bilateral stimulation like eye movements, auditory tones, and tapping to reprocess and integrate disturbing memories from a traumatic event. This evidence based method reduces the symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder and fosters overall emotional health and well being.
Family Therapy
Maryland Addiction Recovery Center recognizes that family members can be crucial in the substance abuse treatment and recovery process. 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
One of the things that sets Maryland Addiction Recovery Center apart from how other organizations approach the treatment of chemical dependency and substance abuse is the focus they take towards real life barriers to recovery. Their vocational/life skills training and counseling is the social services portion of treatment, offering patients a one-on-one, customized approach to real life issues that may seem like a barrier to recovery. This may include legal or medical issues, living situations and housing, job issues or unemployment, education or schooling, basic job skills, and/or family complications and family dynamics.
Recreational Therapy
Engaging in recreational therapy during your addiction recovery provides you with a sense of accomplishment and joy. Art projects, physical fitness programs, and outdoor adventures help support your physical health, improve your mood, and build a supportive community that will help promote a sober lifestyle.
Experiential Therapy
Experiential therapy in Maryland is an inside out approach. Rather than try to talk through their issues (outside in), clients participate in activities that allow external creative expression of their internal emotions (inside out). Activities may include drama, wilderness adventures, art, or music.
