About Act II Counseling Services
Act II Counseling Services is a private outpatient facility that is located in Laurel, Maryland. This CARF accredited center is dedicated to supporting adolescents and adults overcoming substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions like depression or anxiety.
They have more than 30 years of staff expertise and provide evidence based care tailored to your individual needs. The center accepts Maryland Medicaid, private insurance and self pay with sliding scale fees to ensure affordability.
Therapy While Living At Home
The facility offers outpatient (OP) and intensive outpatient programs (IOP) that allow you to live at home while attending therapy. IOP provides weekly treatment that you will attend for a few hours per week.
You will receive individual, group and family counseling when needed. Their therapies include cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, rational emotive behavioral therapy, and trauma related counseling to get to the root cause of your addiction.
An Abundance of Care
Their specialized programs include dual diagnosis treatment and gender specific care for men and women. I like that they also provide support for young adults, pregnant/postpartum women, veterans, LGBTQ clients and court referred individuals that include DUI/DWI offenders. Their DUI education programs do meet the legal requirements.
Additional services include anger management, relapse prevention, brief interventions and recovery support. Recovery support does include housing, employment counseling, peer mentoring and naloxone education.
Accessibilty
I do like that they offer telehealth therapy to enhance accessibility. They do not offer detox or opioid specific medication assisted treatment (MAT) but focus on counseling based recovery.
Clients praise the professional and caring staff. A few individuals did mention some scheduling challenges.
Latest Reviews
Receptionist is ghetto and rude. Asked for help with resources and she wasn't willing to give any. When I asked to speak with someone who could be more helpful she refused . I used to go here for counseling and the people were wonderful and non judgemental. You shouldn't have a lazy ghetto girl that doesn't want to help people as your front desk. The job revolves around helping others!!
These are professionals , that truly care about more than just business . Highly recommended!

Other Forms of Payment
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Accreditations
State Licenses are permits issued by government agencies that allow rehab organizations to conduct business legally within a certain geographical area. Typically, the kind of program a rehab facility offers, along with its physical location, determines which licenses are required to operate legally.
