Project Chesapeake

Outpatient

This program focuses on education, self-diagnosis, defense mechanisms, development of a sober support network, and relapse prevention. The series typically runs for 26 weeks (if clinically appropriate) for adults who have experienced some negative consequences from their substance abuse. As a cornerstone of Project Chesapeake’s overall mission, they’re proud to offer this service to adults in need. Participation requires specific individualized treatment plan objectives be met prior to discharge.

Intensive Outpatient

In some cases, traditional outpatient care is not appropriate for individuals with more severe chemical dependency problems. When this is the case, they offer their Intensive Outpatient program, their most intense level of outpatient counseling. This service is a unique combination of group and individual counseling lasting a total of nine or more hours per week. Intensive Outpatient works to stabilize the client and to begin teaching the tools of recovery. In order to better accommodate the needs of the client, Intensive Outpatient groups are offered in the morning and the evening. This allows the client to access treatment while still maintaining family and work schedules and meeting obligations that solidify behavior change, thus breaking the cycle of substance abuse.

Alcoholism

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.

Drug Addiction

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.

Mental Health and Substance Abuse

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.

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.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

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

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.

Individual Therapy

This is a process through which clients work one-on-one with a trained counselor, in a safe, caring, and confidential environment to explore their feelings, beliefs, or behaviors, work through challenging or influential memories, identify aspects of their lives that they would like to change, better understand themselves and others, set personal goals, and work toward desired change. People seek counseling for a wide variety of reasons, from coping with major life challenges or childhood trauma, to dealing with substance abuse and simply desiring personal growth and greater self-knowledge.
