Absolutely horrible. The counselors try their hardest to accommodate the clients that need treatment and medicated maintenance to go about their everyday lives but the owner of the company is an absolute scam artist who cares for no more than himself. This is why their clien ...
About BH Health Services

They keep costs super low by accepting a variety of insurances including Maryland Physicians Care, Medical Assistance and Aetna Medicaid.
Accessible Location
Its downtown location means you’ll have easy access to shops, restaurants and community spaces. This makes it convenient to balance treatment with daily activities. Nearby attractions like Carroll County Farm Museum, Westminster City Park and Hashawha Environmental Center offer great chances for leisure.
Another great benefit of their location is the ease of access through public and private transportation. This makes it convenient for folks from nearby cities like Hampstead, Reisterstown and Frederick to receive care here. The Maryland Route 140 offers a direct link to the address when driving from these cities. Locals can benefit from the Carroll Transit bus routes that operate throughout the city.
Methadone Maintenance Treatment
BH Health Services offers an opioid maintenance treatment program that’s guided by respect for clients’ dignity. They strive to create a safe, caring and nonjudgmental space where healing can occur. They also try to keep you involved in the clinical process so that you’re very much involved in your recovery.
Medication assisted treatment is a scientifically proven means of effectively treating opioid addiction. The technique pairs FDA approved meds with counseling to promote holistic healing. That is the healing of the whole person, not just the symptoms. BH Health Services offers a prescription of methadone for this program. A thorough intake assessment enables their team to tailor the dosage to your unique recovery needs.
When taken as prescribed, methadone normalizes your brain chemistry, minimizes physiological cravings and eliminates uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms. You’ll also undergo counseling to tackle the psychological aspect of things. Counseling allows you to investigate the emotional, psychological and social factors fueling your opioid use. You’ll not only resolve these psychosocial issues but also develop strong coping skills to prevent relapse.
Flexible Outpatient Treatment
BH Health Services offers an intensive outpatient program as well. This can be beneficial if you need relatively intensive and structured care for moderate substance use issues. It mainly involves group therapy and educational activities that help you build coping skills and prevent relapse over time. This type of program offers high flexibility since you can continue your job while receiving tailored care.
Latest Reviews
My boyfriend (he is leaving a great review also) and I have been a client at BH a little over a year and we both think the entire staff is wonderful!!! They always treat us with kindness, respect and compassion. I have been to 2 other facilities in Laurel & Cherry Hill and BH is by far a much better Facility. Each and every staff member has greeted me with a smile and asked how I was doing EVERY time and I consider them all to be more than just "staff". My Counselor Megan is phenomenal, she answers every phone call or text message and really listens to what I have to say and sometimes I'm sure I ramble, lol. I can talk to her about anything and her advice has helped me many, many times. I consider her more than my counselor she's my friend. I have NEVER had a false positive, EVER. I think you have to be honest with yourself and not blame BH, that's a part of recovery, personal responsibility. BH's staff members are a big part of the reason I am currently at the highest Level, Stage 4, and I am over 6 months clean!!! Hats off to you BH because of you I'm sober and I finally have my life back!!!! YOU GUY'S ARE ALL WONDERFUL AND SUPPORTIVE!!! FOREVER GRATEFUL!!
This place punishes you for everything! False positive drug screens all the time... (I am not kidding!) Everyone gets false positives, but because we are addicted to methadone, he knows no one will believe us, over the (good doctor) They don't want you off the medicine. The urine samples sit in a box (not refrigerated) up to 3 days! Don't come here... They pick and choose rules . They promise one thing and do another. They ask us to advertise them in our social media ... Well here it is! There is something weird going on here, and it's just another way to ruin your life, I recommend going to Genesis if you want someone to REALLY help you.
Complete fraud of medical services. Abusive of clients similar to opiate street trade. Even the " security" doesnt have enough self respect to have a name just a letter. Culture ? How?Never once met my counsellor in 2 years in person, so i have come daily while counselor has her kids on zoom while clients are talking.They make you sign your treatment plan as part of your check in process. So in essence, withholding the medication from clients until they sign. Let's be honest when withdrawing are we competent? I mean legally so much leniency is geared toward the addicts I wonder why? It's in best interest of places like this to take advantage of vulnerable ppl.They have to get their poud of flesh as well. So go here if u have no stable medication. Understand it's up to u in order to get other things in your life square that maybe leading to using. Other than that methadone as detox is awesome

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.
Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.
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.
Medically Assisted Detox Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.
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).
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).
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.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
