About Balance Point Wellness – Nottingham – Overlea, Maryland

Located in Nottingham, Maryland is Balance Point Wellness, a provider of behavioral health care services that supports residents throughout Central Maryland’s surrounding counties. They offer wraparound care to help you work through a mental health or co occurring behavioral health issue like a substance use disorder that you may be experiencing.

It’s important to note that their services are primarily for individuals who are stabilized or have undergone the detoxification process if they’ve struggled with substance abuse.

Once stabilized, you’ll begin to receive care in an outpatient setting that will help you work through the complex emotions contributing to your drug or alcohol addiction. They offer in person counseling as well as telehealth counseling.

As a provider of behavioral health care, their services here are rooted in relevant, evidence based practices. One of the ways you’ll be supported is through their medication management program. You’ll undergo a comprehensive assessment to determine if medication could be helpful for your mental health and how to best weave it into your treatment plan.

As you work through your treatment plan, services will be collaborative which means you’ll work closely with your therapist, primary care provider, psychologist, and other health professionals to receive the individualized treatment you need.

Balance Point Wellness has a strong focus on helping you connect with your interests and hobbies so that you can begin building healthy skills to sustain your recovery. One of the ways they do this is through their holistic approaches to recovery including art therapy and workshops for leisure and recreational activities. There are also acupuncture and nutrition counseling services.

One of their most popular programs is their adventure therapy which is targeted toward children up to 9th grade. Kids get to go out and experience activities like rock climbing, ziplining, scavenger hunts, canoeing, archery, and many other recreational activities. By connecting with nature, they build resilience and healthy coping skills.
