About Recovery Centers of America Capital Region

Recovery Centers of America uses medications like methadone and suboxone which are two of the more common medications used to combat addiction. It’s pretty interesting how these medications work. With methadone, it’s a long lasting opioid blocker. Basically, the medication attaches itself to the opioid receptors to minimize withdrawal symptoms. Think of a dial and the medication moves the dial to tell your brain and body that you are not experiencing pain for an amount of time.

Medications work differently for everyone so if you opt for this treatment you can work with your doctor to find the medication that works best for you. Regardless, people said that this place has a nice home like setting with a caring staff that will help you every step of the way when you go in for treatment.

Our daughter was there for almost 2weeks I called and left messages for someone to call me back not one response from that facility, I was on my daughters emergency contact list and I was told they would and could talk to me never did anyone call me back not once !I was told when she was admitted they would keep in contact as long as I was on her emergency contact list . There were other things going on that I can not go into at this time but I suggest to not send your loved one there. !

Please DO NOT go to the Waldorf RCA!!! I just spent 12 days in this facility and it was the worst experience of my life. I had two very personal incidents occur and the CEO along with staff members completely lied to me just to get to me give them information and stay at THEIR facility. They allow men and women to be in the same common area that us women sleep in. I felt completely unsafe from the moment they got me through those doors. Do NOT trust these people!! Please look into an RCA at a different location!!! This place is so unethical in every single way.

Accepted Insurance

Recovery Centers of America Capital Region works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

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.

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.

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.

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

inpatient iconInpatient

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.

outpatient iconOutpatient

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.

medically-assisted-detox iconMedically 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. The length of stay at the detoxification program is determined according to the specific needs of the patient.

intensive-outpatient iconIntensive 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.

12-step icon12-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).

24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care

For intensive-level rehab treatment, 24-hour clinical care in Maryland is an essential tool. Medical staff are available around the clock to supervise the process, which involves cleansing the body of toxins. Close supervision is necessary due to the potential risks of withdrawal symptoms. Medical experts on-site are available to prescribe medications and other forms of treatment to address these symptoms and ensure a safe detox process.

partial-hospitalization iconPartial 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.

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.

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.

In Maryland, substance abuse treatment programs support individuals struggling with drugs or alcohol, and those who also have mental health conditions. These rehab programs vary, depending on the level of care you need. That might include inpatient rehab, or an outpatient program. Typically, substance abuse treatment includes evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), recovery support meetings, and skills groups to equip you with new coping strategies when you leave rehab.

Maryland's addiction experts understand the importance of dual-diagnosis addiction treatment in their inpatient and outpatient recovery programs. Dual-diagnosis means having two mental health disorders at the same time, like addiction and depression. By treating individuals with co-occurring substance use disorders and mental health conditions simultaneously, they can enhance recovery outcomes and improve overall health, reducing the risk of relapse. Programs include evidence-based therapies, family counseling, recovery support groups, and skills training. Additional services may include medically assisted detox, 12-Step facilitation, equine therapy, complementary treatments, and alumni programs.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image

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 thumbnail image

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.
lgbtq-program thumbnail image

LGBTQ Program

Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.
military-program thumbnail image

Military Program

Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

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.

Four key principles guide motivational interviewing. These are empathy, self efficacy, rolling with resistance, and developing discrepancy. These techniques allow the client to examine their motivations for change, identify discrepancies in their current situation and future goals, and feel empowered to make changes to reach their goals.

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.

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.

Fitness therapy blends exercise with psychotherapy for a fun, inspiring, and effective way of treating addiction and other issues. By incorporating movement into counseling sessions, clients become more empowered, motivated, and goal-oriented, all while strengthening their bodies and becoming more flexible. Fitness Therapy is usually used to complement a course of treatment (inpatient or outpatient) to make it even more successful. Increasing the connection between a patient’s mind and body helps both with healing as well as in creating new, healthy habits.

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.

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.

I don’t even know where to start with this place. ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE! It’s funny to see the good reviews and realize they are majority alumni who have not seen how this place has deteriorated and became money hungry. The place blew me up daily till I got there and seemed very compassionate (but that is not their location speaking it’s an RCA team for all locations). I was promised a plan to come off my meds I discussed with the nurse and there was no payment with my insurance. One day before I drove there I now have a $2,500 “downpayment” or I can’t come, so I paid it. The second I got there I signed one paper saying if I leave it’s an AMA, that was my intake. I went to my room and it smelled like moth balls, fish from the leaking toilet and was so dirty. My bed had no sheets on it, the drawer was filled with candy, the wall next to my bed had rice smeared over it, and a big brown stain on the bed. So I went to shower, well no towels. They had a hard time finding sheets. I went to get my meds the next morning, no one called my clinic to verify so I could not get them. I met with the doctor ONCE to do intake and never again. The doctor passed me and asked the other “you met with her today right?” She said yes. I turned around and said I’ve never met nor seen you before.. she said “stop getting mad and disrespectful you don’t know what I was talking about”, still never saw one again. They only have one food option which is gross and way too harsh for detox. If you want just a pb&j or ensure you have to see the dietician which is only over zoom and takes weeks to see. I didn’t get breakfast ever, because if you don’t wake yourself up at 6-7am you don’t get meds or food. No one will remind you or tell you that. Groups are a joke unless run by the therapist who are actually good, others you’ll do some word searches. The “music room” would be cool but there are three guitars and all only have 2 strings. I asked why’re you not sticking to my detox plan? They said idk who you talked to but it wasn’t us! So why would I stay? Most important I needed FMLA signed and most the residential patients did not get there’s done because none of us have met with a case manager. I AMA discharged after a week and got a snarky comment saying “well why don’t you tell us why you really want to discharge”… ITS DISGUSTING THERE! that morning since they were mad I was refused meds and didn’t leave till 5pm. My clinic said they never got a verification from them so us took us hours to reach them and my counselor said “where did you find this place that was so unorganized and why are they so rude??” Idk. I left and was told I don’t get discharge paperwork they just don’t do that. Oh and best of all, you don’t get phone calls till your second week, and they are only 10 min 1-2x a week with a very long line. If you are young like under 25 this would be fun because you can just get a bf or gf and smoke ciggs all day (oh and they are also a couples facility). But if you really want to get clean and need support you will be let down. I was told by their own workers they USED to be great and that the other MD location is good. Only positive was my therapist Kourtney , who was very nice, helpful, and respectful. I hope she leaves and gets a better job or a raise!

Worst place ever, the Waldorf location is a dump full full of incompetent people. My husband had a stroke under their watch and instead of sending him to a hospital they literally dumped him like garbage at my doorstep. In addition they overcharged my credit card by 3000 USD, they have acknowledged their mistake and they refuse to reimburse me. It doesn’t matter how desperate you are- DO NOT HAVE YOUR LOVED ONE ADMITTED IN THIS DUMP
