About The Resource Group Counseling and Education Center

During the immersive outpatient program, you can expect to participate in three days per week of 90 minute group treatments. This program also includes an individual therapy session once a week. Treatment sessions focus on training in self-help, relapse prevention, psychoeducation, and mindfulness. You’ll be encouraged to attend 12 step meetings and other self help groups outside of treatment.

The standard outpatient program consists of two 90 minute group therapy sessions per week. To qualify for this program you must have two to three months of continuous sobriety. The state approved DUI and DWI programs include a 12 hour and a 26 hour class option. The classes are held every Tuesday evening and program length is dependent on clinical evaluation.

Former clients say that treatment at this facility helped them and that their therapist was instrumental in their growth. Other former clients mentioned the administration and payment side of the facility was disorganized.

This group changed my life. Before starting DBT I had the such a difficult time managing my emotions. I was reactive and frustrated easily but I decided to make a commitment to myself and do 6 months of the program. I noticed such a difference in my behaviour that I signed up for an additional 6 months and finished today. 1 year of DBT has changed my life and I’m not the same person I was before. One nice thing is that at anytime I can always go back to the group and brush up on my skills. This program saved my relationship, and my job. I came in here completely desperate to do something about my anger and inability to manage my emotions. I left feeling proud of myself, and with a set of tools that I use in all my interactions. Thank you Kat and Ian. You guys rock!

I saw two providers at the Towson location for over a year that I had great experiences with, but they eventually left the group. I feel that the center has gone downhill in general over time. 1)Their website has incorrect information - the front desk email on their website is not the actual email they use. When I called to ask why my email didnt get a response, they did not care that their website has the wrong email listed. 2) They take more than 24 hours to respond to emails, even about refills, I had to email again to ask them to respond. 3) The online form they sent me to request a refill was not up to date with the current list of providers. 4) When I asked for a form to be signed for another medical office, they gave me an estimate of 1 week, which is already absurd for a 1 page form in my opinion, but even after that I had to follow up to ask for the form. These experiences do not demonstrate care to a patient and does not make me confident in the center. I have found my services elsewhere. I suggest they work on being more attentive, responsive, and organized.

Accepted Insurance

Please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

The Resource Group Counseling and Education Center works with several private insurance providers, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

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.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

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.

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.

Attending twelve-step meetings is not required, but they strongly encouraged. They do not promote any particular philosophy or spirituality to their clients, they just see it as the most easily accessible support system available to those in recovery. They begin our groups late enough in the morning and early enough in the evening so that those IOP can attend the meetings.

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.

Programs

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 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.

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.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

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.

When you participate in couples therapy, you learn how to understand each other better, improve your communication skills, resolve conflict, and improve relationship satisfaction. Your therapist will help you develop skills in each of these areas to strengthen your relationship.

EMDR is a therapeutic modality originally developed to help process trauma. In an EMDR session, a patient is prompted to undergo eye movements that mimic those of REM sleep. This is accomplished by watching a therapist's finger move back and forth across, or following a bar of light. The goal is repetitive sets of eye movements that help the brain reprocess memory, which can significantly reduce the intensity of remembered traumatic incidents. Associated memories can heal simultaneously, leaving patients significantly calmer, more stable, and more emotionally relaxed.

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.

Every time I came to this place to be treated, I had to wait more than half an hour in the waiting room. In general, I didn't like the experience, it was the worst therapy I've had in my life, they are unprofessional, they don't respect the patients' privacy and they don't l ... Read More
