My child did the intense outpatient therapy. They are the only child in a group of adults who are complaining about the kids my child s age. They have chosen to continue to the inpatient Seattle program. I have my fingers crossed.

Where do I start? Please do NOT waste your time or money with this IOP group. I chose this facility as a bridge from my PHP at SPH. With the exception of group therapist Ashley(who left while I was there), my individual therapist Mason, and the welcome administrative lady De'Naja? , this place is a HACK. They are very short staffed, pull therapy group leaders from the eating disorder side, and seem to do on the job interviews with therapists who clearly don't know the paper material they are reading. When I tell you this place almost plummeted me back into a deep depression, I mean that. I say that as a nurse who has a love for psych and how therapy helps people. I am also a former Psych RN. Their DBT and ACT group is a JOKE. I attended in August 2024, approximately around the 15th. The place is very modern on the inside. The group rooms would be very relaxing if you actually got something out of the therapy. The patients supported each other and seemed to know more about the topics than the group leaders. I cannot stress enough how outraged I was sitting thru these sessions. We all seemed so desperately depressed in there often talking about how awful the sessions were when Ashley did not run them. They lost a great employee when she left. I wouldn't recommend this place if it were free. I wish I had read the reviews before choosing this place. They are expensive too if you don't have health insurance or have high copays. Every time I drive past the place I get sad all over again, it's just that horrible. I just stopped going abruptly and left my partner to tell them how horrible the experience was when they called about my lack of attendance.They may do well on the eating disorder side, but how do you substitute those skilled in working with that population in at the last minute just to be able to bill your Mood Disorders clients? That's a greedy money grab and very dangerous. We were there to continue to get mentally well and several of us sank deeper into depression (as per our individual discussions amongst those in the group). Please hire some people who are skilled in this arena and pay them well so that they don't leave. Our recovery depends on it. This place gets a D- only because the facility is nice and my therapist Mason was amazing. I wish I could've told him that he was great! Ashley too.

We were promised a weekly family therapy session. We only received it one time out of 4 weeks due to staff vacations. My daughter was idle from 1:30-4pm due to a break that was back-to-back with a tutoring session. She did not take part in the tutoring session because it was summer break.We were not able to pick her up early because of billing issues with the insurance company. I feel like the day should have been restructured to avoid that.

Other Forms of Payment

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.

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.

Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

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

Partial Hospitalization Program

Commonly known as "day treatment," a partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term intensive rehab option designed to provide treatment during the day and you're able to return home at night. PHP treatment offers structured programming, including individual and group therapy, typically meeting 3-5 days a week for 6-8 hours per day. PHP duration averages around 90 days, with some programs offering amenities like transportation and meals.

Intensive Outpatient

Clients who are leaving inpatient rehab often choose to transition into an intensive outpatient program (IOP) to receive high-level support as they reintegrate into their home, workplace, and community. Intensive outpatient rehab also benefits those at risk of relapse. Clients typically participate in nine to 20 hours of treatment weekly, with modalities ranging from psychotherapy to addiction and recovery education. Many programs also provide medication assisted treatment (MAT) and complementary care, such as nutrition counseling, and acupuncture.

Outpatient

Clients who are exiting detox or intensive inpatient treatment often enroll in outpatient rehab programs to ensure a robust continuity of care. Outpatient programs allow clients to remain in or return to their homes and workplaces while continuing to receive treatment, which typically includes addiction counseling and recovery-focused life skills training. Clients in opioid and/or alcohol recovery may also receive medication assisted treatment (MAT), including medication induction and maintenance, at an outpatient facility.

Telehealth

Telehealth technologies include the internet, video conferencing, streaming media, store-and-forward imaging, and land and wireless communications. Telehealth leverages these technologies to support remote healthcare efforts, which offer convenience and cost savings.

Treatments

Maryland dual-diagnosis rehabs typically offer comprehensive care to individuals with mental health and substance abuse diagnoses. You can usually find inpatient, outpatient, and partial hospitalization programs tailored to your specific needs. These specialized addiction treatment facilities combine evidence-based therapies — such as dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) — with experiential therapies like mindfulness, with the goal of treating both mental health disorders and providing you with the tools to stay sober.

Clinical Services

Cognitive behavioral therapy in Maryland emphasizes your current life rather than what has happened in the past. Your therapist will help you develop methods to deal with current and future challenges so you can cope in healthy ways that don't involve substances.

During dialectical behavior therapy sessions, you'll review the challenges you faced the previous week and the feelings you experienced during those times. You and your therapist will engage in problem solving, discussing how you can handle those situations in the future for a better outcome. This involves keeping a diary throughout the week to track your emotions.

Families in Maryland address the impact of addiction during family therapy. Your therapist fosters open communication between family members to help resolve conflicts and create a supportive environment. By improving relationships, you aid the recovery of the individual struggling with addiction.

Cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing techniques are often part of group therapy sessions. These are evidence based techniques that address thinking and behavioral patterns that trigger addictive behavior. Learning how to address these thought patterns can help create lasting change.

Individualized one on one therapy allows the therapist to focus on your specific challenges and strengths. Using a personalized approach enables the therapist to help you develop effective coping mechanisms and build a more stable and fulfilling substance free life.

The focus of trauma therapy is to heal the emotional wounds that occurred when you witnessed or experienced a traumatic event. Therapy helps you process this trauma emotionally and mentally so you develop healthier coping skills and improve your quality of life.

If you’re hesitant - Don’t be!! I spent 5 weeks at Pathlight Mood and Anxiety doing their PHP program and it turned my life around. I cannot express how amazing the staff for the php program is. Specifically Dr. Nagireddi who was my psychiatrist and Megan who was my Therapist during my time there. The adult group therapy sessions were incredibly helpful and allowed me to learn coping skills, different types of therapy and connect with others who were going through what I was. I’ve made lifelong friends through the php program, and gained my confidence and self worth back. The program is also incredibly inclusive of all ages, backgrounds, gender identities, races, religion, etc. If you needed a sign to help you decide where to go - this is it! You deserve the time and space to be able to work on yourself, and pathlight is a great option.

The only good thing I have to say about this place is that the individual therapy is pretty good. If you have ADHD or severe depression or anxiety, or if you act out, act badly sometimes or are unable to 100% control yourself DO NOT GO HERE as they will NOT be able to help you. Was in PHP for 4-5 weeks before they kicked me out as they were unable to help fix issues I was having, and blamed it on me. I am there to receive help with the same exact issues. Ironic.

Wow. Very disappointing and disturbing treatment of a child with anxiety and PTSD. The staff do not make kids feel safe and seem ill-equipped, inexperienced and under-trained. Due to its national presence, a recommendation, proximity and day program, we entered with great hopes. When things did not work out, they would not even provide us with the results of bloodwork for our medical records. To this day, sales staff continue to call.

Thank you for voicing these concerns. Nothing is more important to us than our patients feeling supported during their healing process and their experience with us while they're in treatment. If you would like to speak with someone directly about your experience, we would welcome that opportunity. You can reach our dedicated patient advocate team at patient.advocate@ercpathlight.com.

My experience at Pathlight Mood & Anxiety Center Baltimore was very disappointing. The schedule provided at the beginning was never followed, and the high turnover rate meant therapy session facilitators frequently didn't show up. Most facilitators seemed to lack engagement and expertise, merely reading from scripts. Additionally, I received no help with filing for disability or getting necessary paperwork for disability insurance. My one-on-one therapist and psychiatrist offered minimal support, sticking to basic assessment questions without meaningful therapy. When I couldn't attend for a few days, I was abruptly dropped from the program. Overall, a very frustrating and unhelpful experience.
