About Chase Brexton Health Care – Glen Burnie Center – Glen Burnie

Chase Brexton Health Care is a comprehensive medical and mental health care center. They offer substance use disorder treatment and treatment for psychiatric disorders (dual diagnosis). You can also get all types of medical care. They have five locations, including the Glen Burnie location on Hospital Drive in Glen Burnie, Maryland. They accept most major insurance plans including Medicare and Medicaid. If you’re uninsured, they’ll work with you to ensure you get services.

The center is Joint Commission accredited. The facility began as a volunteer gay men’s clinic and as such is LGBTQ+ friendly and welcoming, though they now treat patients of every age, gender, race, ethnicity and religion.

The Glen Burnie location has substance use treatment services Monday through Thursday 8:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. and Fridays from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. You’ll start with a certified peer recovery specialist (CPRS) to discuss your goals. You’ll then have an assessment with a behavioral health therapist. Together with these specialists, you’ll discuss your goals and form a treatment plan.

You’ll choose between an intensive outpatient program (IOP) and a more traditional outpatient program with the goal of total abstinence. There’s medication support if you’re struggling to recover from an alcohol or opioid addiction.

There are three phases of the outpatient programs. Phase I is learning about addiction through attendance in four group therapy sessions each week. You’ll also have individual therapy.

In Phase II, you’ll meet with others who already have 30 days or more of abstinence. They’ll help you figure out the origins of your addictions. The longstanding recovery group is Phase III of the program. You’ll dive deep into sober life skills and how to avoid relapse as you go through your daily life.

One of the nice things about this program is that the staff have been in your place. They’ve dealt with some of the same problems you have, so they have a lot of empathy and understanding.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Aftercare Support

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Intensive Outpatient

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.

Intervention Services

Intervention services helps family or friends of addicts stage an intervention, which is a meeting in which loved ones share their concerns and attempt to get an addict into treatment. Professional intervention specialists can help loved ones organize, gather, and communicate with an addict. They can guide intervention participants in describing the damage the addict's behavior is causing and that outside help is necessary to address the addiction. The ideal outcome of an intervention is for the addict to go to rehab and get the help they need.

Medically Assisted Detox

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.

Outpatient

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.

Sober Living Homes

Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.

Programs

Adult Program

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.

LGBTQ Program

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.

Military Program

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).

Young Adult Program

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.
