What to Look for When Selecting a Treatment Center in Gaithersburg, MD

The Right Program: A detailed interview and assessment process with a clinical professional. Look for an organization that assesses physical and mental health, as well as qualifications for your loved one’s specific needs. Make sure the organization you’re considering has skilled experience with the the drawbacks your loved on is facing.

If the organization isn’t right for your substance abuse treatment, ask if they have referrals for a more appropriate fit.

Professional Team: Look for a licensed, experienced organization that focuses on a team-oriented approach, working together to support each client and their family. Find a team that includes individual and family therapists, substance abuse counselors, psychiatrists, and dietitians.

A highly credentialed team taking a holistic approach to care is critical to achieving successful outcomes from substance abuse and addiction treatments.

Safety: An organization that focuses on participant safety, both physical and emotional. Many people will discover through the treatment process that abstinence from all substances is the best choice for them. Through this journey, it is important to support participants in staying safe and reducing harm.

Find a support system you trust to aid your substance abuse and addiction treatment.

Mental Health and Trauma Training: drug abuse and addiction generally co-occur with a mental health or trauma experience. It is important that a treatment program has the ability to treat not only substance abuse but also underlying mental health concerns and trauma. Ideally, a program would have a psychiatrist on staff, and staff trained in trauma-informed care.

A good support system believes recovery and healing are two sides of the same coin, and both are necessary for long-lasting success.

An Individualized Program: an organization that tailors the experience to the individual and their unique needs. Find a team that sees you or your loved one as a person and creates a support program based on what is needed. True change from substance abuse and addiction treatment comes from authentic connection and genuine investment.

Strengths Based: An approach that focuses on what is working and nurtures those activities, patterns, and behaviors to encourage health and vibrancy.

Evidence-Based Care: an organization that draws on research and time-tested practices for the best possible outcome. Research or ask about the therapy methods they use in addition treatment.

Family Oriented: Any large life challenge always affects and is impacted by the surrounding system. Find an organization that supports and integrates the whole family. No one walks the road to recovery alone.

Maryland’s Opioid Crisis

On March 1, 2017, Governor Larry Hogan issued an executive order to declare a state of emergency regarding the opioid overdose crisis in Maryland. The implementation was based on the state’s overdose fatality data, prescribing data, and seizure data.

The emergency declaration was intended to increase the state’s efforts to reduce the number of fatalities and non-fatal overdoses to coordinate programs for prevention, enforcement, treatment, and recovery services.

How Gaithersburg is Managing its Public Health

Opioid Intervention Team

Each of Maryland’s 24 jurisdictions were assigned an opioid intervention team to be led by an emergency manager and health officer. Each team coordinates with the community to create opioid-fighting strategies at the local level. Each team focuses efforts on several areas such as:

  • Public education and awareness – Teaching in schools and the community about the risks of addiction and
    how to prevent it.
  • Public safety/overdose prevention – Naloxone training and dispensing to the public, school health nurses and law
    enforcement.
  • Increased access to treatment – For those who are looking for detox, residential or outpatient programs. As well as continued support for those who have been hospitalized or incarcerated.
  • Coordination, communication and planning – Tracking overdose data to target prevention and intervention resources.

Montgomery County STEER

Stop, Triage, Engage, Educate and Rehabilitate (STEER) guides people struggling with addiction through the treatment and rehabilitation process. Its goal is to direct people in need of substance abuse treatment away from jail and into an intervention program.

It is a different way to provide treatment options to individuals who are drug-involved, but who did not necessarily present a chargeable offense when encountered by law enforcement.

Gaithersburg Public Mental Health Services

The Montgomery County Department of Health and Human Services offers a range of free and affordable public assistance programs to residents who are in need of mental health or substance abuse services because of lack of insurance, income, or legal status. Programs include:

Gaithersburg Drug & Alcohol Recovery Resources

In addition to seeking out support from addiction professionals, having a network of people that will build you up as you continue your sobriety is very important. Organizations like 12 Step Programs and SMART Recovery provide meetings that build up sober individuals and help to create a supportive community.
