About Balm of Gilead Health & Wellness Center, LLC

Balm of Gilead Health & Wellness Center, LLC is a CARF accredited outpatient addiction treatment facility in Middle River, Maryland and directed by Dr. Chinwe Okudo. The center offers outpatient treatment, intensive outpatient programs and outpatient detox for children, adolescents and adults struggling with substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions.

I think it's important to note that their integrated care model combines evidence based therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing and the matrix model with comprehensive recovery support to help you build lasting sobriety.

Medication Assisted Treatment

Balm of Gilead specializes in opioid use disorder treatment with SAMHSA certification for their opioid treatment program. The center provides multiple FDA approved medications including methadone, buprenorphine and naltrexone, with on site prescribing and maintenance options tailored to your recovery needs.

Treatment combines medication management with individual and group counseling, addressing both the physical and psychological aspects of opioid addiction. Sessions incorporate relapse prevention strategies, contingency management and community reinforcement approaches to help you manage cravings, build coping skills and address the root causes of substance use.

Integrated Dual Diagnosis

The center treats co-occurring serious mental health illness and substance use disorders in both adults and adolescents with serious emotional disturbance. I think it's beneficial that their dual diagnosis approach integrates psychiatric care with addiction treatment, using trauma informed counseling and evidence based therapies to address how mental health and substance use intersect in your recovery journey.

Amenities

Massage Room

The massage room offers a wealth of benefits as part of an overall evidence-based drug and alcohol recovery program. Massage therapy boosts blood flow and flushes lactic acid from the muscles, and the vascular benefits last several days after the massage.

Addiction Treatment Programs

Teen & Adolescent Program

During crucial developmental years, addiction can cause cognitive impairment, increase risky behavior, and impair social development. A young adult program in Maryland can help individuals learn to make healthy choices and avoid these downfalls of addiction.

Adult Program

A typical adult program in Maryland offers a private setting for rehabilitation from alcohol or drugs. Treatment often includes group therapy, individual counseling, and family support and may occur in a residential facility or through outpatient care.

Men's Rehab

Men’s rehab in Maryland helps men recover from substance use disorders and start rebuilding their lives. Therapies focus on men only and their unique needs.

Women's Rehab

Women’s rehab in Maryland provides an environment where women can step back from daily stresses and distractions to focus on their recovery. The caring, safe surroundings help create positive recovery outcomes.

Opioid Treatment

Opioid rehab in Maryland takes place in a safe, supportive environment that minimizes access to opioids and reduces stressors that trigger relapse. Treatment often begins with medical detox, followed by inpatient rehab that may last 30 to 90 days. Aftercare is provided to help maintain long-term sobriety.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive behavioral therapists use multiple exercises during cognitive behavioral therapy in Maryland. A combination of imagery-based exposure, behavioral experiments, and thought records can provide effective treatment for addiction and co-occurring disorders.

Senior Drug & Alcohol Rehab

Through elderly rehab in Maryland, seniors can find the help they need to overcome addiction. These age-specific rehab programs address substance use disorders, dual diagnosis, and age-related challenges.

EMDR Therapy

EMDR Therapy is a neurobiological treatment modality used to address trauma disorders and related mental and behavioral health challenges. Short for eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, EMDR is designed to help clients cope with distressing memories and emotions, including fear, sadness, and anger. EMDR may help clients in addiction recovery manage the psychological and emotional triggers that contribute to substance misuse and/or addiction relapse.

Levels of Care

Outpatient Rehab

Outpatient rehab in Maryland is best suited for those who are coping well in recovery but need ongoing treatment. This level of rehab offers accountability and support through regular therapy sessions and support group meetings. It may last for weeks or months, based on your ongoing recovery needs.

Dual Diagnosis & Mental Health

If you have both a mental health and substance use disorder, these cannot be treated independently. They interact, so the treatment must be integrated. Dual diagnosis treatment in Maryland is designed to treat both co-occurring disorders.

Aftercare & Alumni Program

Addiction challenges don’t end after rehab. To maintain good health and sobriety, you’ll need to continue to manage your addiction. Aftercare rehab in Maryland helps you by providing continued access to specialists, counselors, and life coaches for as long as you need them.

Inpatient Rehab

The most intensive level of care is known as inpatient rehab. It involves living at the facility until you finish your program, receiving extensive individual and group addiction counseling, recovery-focused life skills training, and complementary therapies.
