About Sheppard Pratt — Outpatient Mental Health Center – Frederick
Behavioral Health Partners of Frederick – Family Center is now called Sheppard Pratt – Outpatient Mental Health Center and is located in Frederick, Maryland. They offer behavioral health services for co-occurring mental health and substance use disorder (SUD) in an outpatient setting.
They are located in the Centerpark Professional Center, a standalone facility, with ample onsite parking. The facility is accessible via I-70 and close to pharmacies, residential neighborhoods and restaurants. They are also close to natural attractions like Ballenger Creek Park, forests and farmlands.
Three Outpatient Locations in Frederick County
Sheppard Pratt has three outpatient locations in Frederick County that specialize in care for youth counseling, seniors and adults. They offer a team of integrated care specialists including counselors, therapists, psychiatrists and nurse practitioners.
Offsite Counseling and SUD Referrals
They do not specifically treat substance use disorder, but provide therapy, counseling and medication management to assist you in stabilizing your mental health conditions that may be concurrent to your addiction care. They also offer off-site counseling and SUD referrals that are not covered by private insurance, but again, can be dually treated with their mental health services.
I like that in addition to therapy, they provide education services through an Individualized Education Program (IEP), which offers regular structured meetings to discuss and address ways in which to avoid a mental health crisis. I find it good to know that for youth clients, these programs will not interfere with their regular academic programs and are offered at flexible times on an adjustable schedule.
They accept most payment types for therapy and counseling services at their three locations including state-funded plans, self-paying options and private insurance. All treatment can be evaluated, planned and scheduled through their intake department.

Accepted Insurance
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.
Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
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.

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.
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 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.
Recreational therapy (aka therapeutic recreation) uses creative and fun activities to help with addiction recovery. Recreational therapists lead patients in entertaining and engaging activities like sports or games; art (drawing, painting, sculpture); drama, music, and dance; and/or community outings (field trips) to improve patients' physical, social, and emotional well-being.
