About Changing Turn Community Health Cr
Changing Turn Community Health Center is an outpatient integrated behavioral healthcare clinic specializing in mental health care and substance use recovery with a location in Edgewood, Maryland. They can help you take care of any behavioral issues impacting your emotional wellbeing. This includes dually diagnosed mental health and substance use disorders. They serve adults and adolescents alongside children and their families. Substance use recovery in this facility includes both general outpatient programs (OP) and intensive outpatient programs (IOP).
They provide medication assisted treatment (MAT) and nicotine cessation programs through their affiliate partners. DUI/DWI educational services are also accessible here to help court-involved individuals meet legal requirements while understanding the risks of impaired driving.
The facility accepts Medicaid for most of their services. They also offer transportation support to make things easier.
Outpatient Treatment Options
Changing Turn offers biopsychosocial and spiritual assessment and individualized treatment planning to ensure tailored care. Assessment helps determine the level of care more appropriate for your unique condition. The IOP provides structured and relatively intense therapeutic support for clients with moderate to severe substance use. General outpatient treatment is a low-intensity and more flexible option for clients with mild substance use disorder. Both programs involve recovery-oriented therapy groups alongside individual sessions and psychoeducational classes. This helps you build coping and relapse prevention skills, foster self-awareness and empower you to regain control of your life.
Dual Diagnosis and Medication Assisted Treatment
Clients with dual diagnosis benefit from integrated care encompassing psychiatric services like medication management and monitoring. Medication assisted treatment (MAT) is provided as necessary through collaboration with their partners, Best Choice Healthcare Services. They offer quite a broad range of FDA-approved medications for their MAT to ensure tailored recovery. This ranges from various naltrexone and buprenorphine-based options to Antabuse and Campral, often used to treat alcoholism. These meds help clients manage painful withdrawal symptoms and curb cravings as they navigate recovery. Clients struggling to quit smoking or chewing tobacco are provided the support they need as well.
Recovery Support Services
Clients can also receive Narcan training and certification here to equip them with the knowledge and skills to respond to opioid overdoses effectively. The broader recovery program may include random testing to monitor progress and compliance with treatment guidelines. Clients are referred to community services or resources to address needs like housing, employment and transportation as they move forward.

I have met the rudest and unprofessional people here and I have been to every mental health center in Harford county. I will never send my Daughter back there either cause they did not even help my Child! This is a mental health facility and it's very unprofessional as well to have a PRP worker bang on your windows and doors repeatedly! Very Unprofessional!

Some of the staff do genuinely care about you. The problem with the program is the houses. And you are absolutely not allowed to say anything about the houses to Changing Turns or you get penalized period no ifs ands or buts. The reason being is that Changing Turns don't care about what the houses do, which is absolutely nothing. I forgot the owners and Changing Turns definitely make sure that you get to the clinic for your methadone and suboxone. No one worries about how long it takes to get psyche meds or to let you know that you are almost out of psyche meds or a Dr. for psyche meds. The owners take money and food stamps but there is never house food except coffee, sugar, butter, milk, and bread. 100$ food stamps, 50$ cash but if you don't have cash you are to give food stamps and with 7 or 8 ppl in each house it should be loaded with food. Unfortunately, I believe that this will be the downfall for Changing Turns. But that is just my opinion which some will care and some won't. But there definitely are staff that truly do care about your recovery. The house I'm in is a do as I say not as I do. And the whole program is contradicting, I say this because I have bearded dragons and I have an emotional support letter but can't have mine even though there is a residence whose manger definitely has hers. It will be told that's why I don't like this program. I admit that this is partly true but like I said I love the program just not all the contradictions that go along with the program. I gave staff and friendliness 3 stars because as I said there are a few staff members who truly do care and I mean just a FEW. I will write and let everyone know if I get discharged for writing this review while I am at this moment still in the program.

Accepted Insurance
Other Forms of Payment
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.
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.
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.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Outpatient Outpatient programs are for those seeking mental health services, 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.
Treatments
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.
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
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
