Searching for a Rehab Center in Maryland?
Residential treatment centers—simply called rehab centers by many people—help individuals of all ages with a wide range of persistent mental health conditions. Many of these facilities are live-in, inpatient treatment centers staffed by trained mental health care personnel who provide 24-hour supervision and support. Residents benefit from being immersed in working toward healing and recovery, away from routine life and everyday stressors. Long-term and short-term residential treatment is offered, and sometimes outpatient services are available as well.
Although a number of these kinds of facilities are used to treat drug and alcohol addictions, there are many others that specialize in the treatment of specific conditions ranging from disordered eating to bipolar. Children and adolescents, too, who have behavioral and emotional concerns can access effective treatment at specialized centers.
Hallmarks of an effective program include:
- An individualized treatment plan.
- Individual and group therapy sessions designed to enhance self-awareness and build social support.
- Psychiatric assessments, as needed.
- Medical supervision for detoxification treatments and to monitor any physical health condition.
- Extracurricular activities to help residents build confidence, develop healthy ways of coping and relaxing, and socialize with peers.
