Mr. Ronnie and Ms. Beverly (on the 7th floor) are amazing human beings. They make patients feel welcomed and were always eager to help- It does make a difference! Also, my family member was not rushed out until her medication was right. Thanks Raymond and Amanda. I am forever grateful to you.

I'm giving the hospital 5 stars, with a note that there is room for improvement. To the nurses and techs on my floor, thank you. I know how hard you worked to get med orders corrected, ensure I received meds on time, and just provide care. My amazing nurses: Beatrice, Alice, Brigitte, Maria, Miriam, and Tijani. (Apologies if I forgot any names.). To the nurses who brought me an oral thermometers after recognizing that the thermal scan thermometer was reading 2-3 degrees below the oral one. Beatrice-I loved how amazingly honest our conversations were, how you heard me when I explained that I got overwhelmed with too much noise that time. You don't know how much that meant. My techs were also amazing - especially Marie who came by to check on me even when assigned elsewhere. ❤️. Ashoal, you came it with that amazing smile. Lans - you too - especially when we compared the thermal scan thermometer to the oral (because the thermal read low.) (I know I'm missing names, but believe me I remember you.) Nurse managers, Yemi and one other (I'm so sorry for blanking on your name), but you both listened and heard my concerns/suggestions. To the OTs and PTs on my floor - Tony, Xuan, Shuling, and Mark - your suggestions, handouts, and everything were so helpful. Tony, including my husband in the PT visit was PERFECT! That helped him replicate the support at home. To the peri-op nurse who so diligent entered medications thank you so much. Dr. Rebecca Shaffer, Infectious Disease, your consult was so appropriated. And you truly seemed to understand the battle that those of us with chronic illness encounter. You ensured I wasn't discharged the day after that 102.4 fever. Thank you. I appreciated your direct communication style and the opportunity to meet you. Leslie and Dominique, Case Management, thank you for helping me navigate home health. You made it so easy for me. Yes, I know it's your job, but I want you to know it helped me and meant a lot. Dr. Yi, (hospitalist) before I was discharged, you came by my room to do a physical exam, etc. We had a very frank conversation about some of the challenges I had in the hospital (e.g., getting my nebs BID for airway clearance, med timing, etc.). I know we didn't come away with major solutions, but I also felt like you heard the impact of those challenges on my stay. I truly appreciate you hearing and acknowledging those concerns and explaining from the hospitalist perspective why some of those things occurred. I will send a letter explaining those in hopes of administration etc coming up with a plan that will benefit all patients-not just me. In turn it would help the nurses (and Hospitalists). George-Marie Garber, CRNP DNP in pain management, thank you for listening without judgement to the medications that worked and didn't work. You were amazing! When you realized there were major lags in timing my pain meds and said "Give me one minute and this will be fixed" and walked out of the room ... Thank you ❤️ I haven't even talked about the room yet, but it was absolutely amazing. Wonderful natural light (for a person who doesn't like overhead lights that much it was amazing), an electronic board with the schedule/allergies, a couch that folded out into a bed, and a recliner. Everything was clean. Yes, there are things to improve like ensuring medication types, brands, and timings are accurately ordered according to the patients normal schedule. I understand that the hospital doesn't stock some medications but when the patient meets with the peri-op nurse, they are told to bring those to the hospital in original bottles for verification by the pharmacy. For example, for me...Claritin is an inadequate substitution for Clarinex, levothyroxine is an inadequate substitution for brand Synthroid, Albuterol inhaler is not a substitute for my xopenex followed by hypertonic saline neb for airway clearance, etc. I take my Synthroid at bedtime to separate it from my PPI. I would return to Suburban in a heartbeat & rvw med list w/ordering physician more carefully.

Accepted Insurance

Please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Suburban Hospital – Behavioral Health Services works with several private insurance providers, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

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.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

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.

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.

Clients receiving support in a rehab aftercare program typically partner with their case manager and care team to identify and access the services that best align with their recovery needs and goals. Rehab aftercare services are designed to evolve with clients' changing needs to promote their long-term sobriety. Care modalities are highly customized and may include a range of medical, mental health, and social service resources, including peer coaching, career counseling, and 12 step program induction.

12 step programs provide accessible peer coaching for participants at all stages of their recovery journey. Meetings are peer-led, anonymous, free, and available multiple times per day in most communities. Participants also receive one-on-one mentoring by a self-selected sponsor. 12 step recovery is based on spiritual principles, which enable participants to understand their disease, accept responsibility for their choices, and relinquish control over that which is unchangeable. Religious affiliation isn't required and specialized formats are available.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Mom was there for several days. The nursing staff on her floor was inattentive, possibly severely understaffed. Despite her using the call button, or her visitors asking for help at the nurses station, she was left for HOURS in soiled diapers, many times, just inviting additional infection. On a positive note, the Doctors and their support staff who worked with her were wonderful. But it was the lack of care for patients’ basic hygiene that ultimately shaped our experience with Suburban.
