I've been trying to get an appointment for weeks, and they never answer the phone or call back! This center is horrible. The receptionist is lazy doesn't do her job. The service is deplorable, I will look for a new therapist and doctor soon.
About Omni House Inc
Formerly known as Omni House, Sheppard Pratt is an organization that offers mental health and addiction treatment services in Glen Burnie, Maryland. They provide residential and outpatient programs, as well as crisis stabilization. Their residential program is known as The Retreat. Here, they treat a range of behavioral health disorders, including drug and alcohol addictions. They only take self payment and don’t accept any insurance. However, their billing partner may be able to help you reimburse your costs through out of network benefits.
One interesting feature of this program is that they begin treatment as soon as you start your stay. Before you participate in services, you’ll undergo a mental health evaluation and psychiatric consultation so your providers can understand your current condition and recommend the best care. Then you’ll start your treatment plan, which will center on individual and group therapy sessions.
While your counselors will use evidence based practices like psychodynamic therapy, they also emphasize holistic healing modalities. Your program is filled with opportunities for you to challenge yourself and connect with nature as you recover. Some of the available options include rock climbing, yoga, meditation, art therapy and equine therapy. Most of these activities are available on the campus but they also hold weekly therapeutic outings to nearby facilities.
One former client said the team they worked with was wonderful. Another said that the environment felt nurturing, kind and caring.

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
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.
Aftercare Support
Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Treatment
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
Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.
Clinical Services
Family Therapy
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.
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.
