About Adventist HealthCare Shady Grove Medical Center – Mental Health – Rockville
Adventist HealthCare’s Shady Grove Medical Center is a multi departmental hospital in Rockville, Maryland. One of their departments is mental health where they offer addiction recovery treatment.
The main program they have here for addiction recovery is an intensive outpatient program, which is also known as IOP. In this program, you’ll live at home and come to the hospital several times a week for treatment. On each treatment day, you have three hours of treatment in the mornings, which immerses you in your program while still allowing enough time for you to have a job or maintain other responsibilities at home.
The IOP is mostly group therapy, so you’ll be working through the challenges of recovery with peers who are in similar situations. Within those sessions, they use evidence based techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing (MI) to help you strengthen your sobriety.
The program here is for adults ages 18 and older. They can help people with a wide range of drug and alcohol addictions. They can also help you if you have co occurring mental health conditions. Ultimately, your program will meet you where you are and create an individualized treatment plan centered around your specific needs and the factors affecting your addiction.
Along the way, you’ll have family therapy as well to help your family understand how to support your recovery. They can also link you with other resources and services that can benefit your recovery.
The reviews about this medical center aren’t great. To be honest, though, this is a large hospital so a patient’s experience at the emergency room or in the surgery unit could vary a lot from your experience in the mental health department.
