Addiction Recovery Through Acupuncture

Acupuncture may also help with promoting feelings of inner peace and relaxation. With a reduction of stress, you can feel less desire to use substances as a coping mechanism.
Trauma Counseling For Healing
It’s common for women to develop substance use disorder after traumatic experiences such as physical and emotional abuse. The staff will provide clients with PTSD and trauma counseling to help heal the underlying issues that cause you to use unhealthy coping mechanisms. The counselor may use therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy to change negative beliefs limiting your recovery and introduce you to healthier ways of coping.

The place itself is good especially during the holidays if your in residential treatment. Once in IOP upstairs it is awful service
I really late my time at the Chrysalis House. The classes were very helpful, they helped me learn how to live life when I got out of there. My counselor was awesome, she helped me a lot. The other staff members were professional and nice and also helped out a lot. They have a lot of donations for people that needed things coming into the place. Once I moved up in levels I got to go out on passes with family and friends. They helped me get on the right path and help me do the right thing when I left that is the first rehab I've ever graduated from is successfully completed it
I d never send anyone there not even my worst enemy. I was a detainee, I was pregnant, and had a very rough story to tell in which I DID NOT WANT TO SHARE but oh get vulnerable it s a part of recovery. Well I managed to make it to level 4 in merely 4months. The day before I had my little Liam and I had never been written up on contract NOTHING. I was with my son for about 4-5months and another client used my charges/case against me and made a FALSE accusation, they pulled me in the conference room with all the crooked administrators and unbeknownst to me they already called my county jail I was a inmate at and had them on thier way to get me and tried to swade me to admit to the allegations and I refused there was no proof heresay instead I was shackled and handcuffed as they held my baby. Me hyperventilating crying begging them not to do this. My mom came and got my son and promptly told them you have no idea what you just did to my daughter. If it wasn t for that hell hole nightmare of a place and thier false bullshit I would have never seen jail time. 15momths away from my oldest son and my new baby and my mom died while I was in prison. I won t ever trust this place or any other place I came in with PTSD left with complex PTSD acute trauma Illness. I was there Oct 2021-may 2022 and I know it s under new management just can t trust it. But I have my little one with me and thriving and still clean and sober.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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).
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.
A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.
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.
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.
