About Carroll County Youth Service Bureau

The Carroll County Youth Service Bureau, located in Westminster, Maryland, offers treatment services for mental health and substance use disorders. They treat adults and youth ages 14 and older. Services are available in the clinic as well as in local public and alternative schools.

They accept Maryland Medicaid and many private insurance plans. If you don’t have insurance and have a child under 18 you may qualify for scholarship funding or a discounted fee scale.

Adolescent Interactive Group Therapy

The clinic provides traditional outpatient addiction treatment to teens and adults through individual, group and family counseling. Something that stands out to me is that they also have specialty programs for youth such as Adolescent Interactive Group Therapy.

This program meets once a week, and those in need of more support can attend multiple groups per week. They help teens practice life situations using acting and role playing, addressing issues like depression, anger, substance use and other co-occurring and developmental problems.

Groups are limited to no more than 10 people. Teens enrolled in this program can also access psychiatric services.

School-Based Services in Carroll County

Another unique service they offer is school based therapy. They deliver individual and group therapy for addiction at the alternative Gateway School, and they provide substance use screening for Carroll County Public Schools.

They are also the provider for many of Carroll County Public Schools’ programs, with referrals being made by Student Services personnel. This includes services for students with social, emotional and behavioral challenges, suicide intervention programs and psychiatric counseling for mental health concerns.

The school district also has a violence intervention program where the Service Bureau administers assessments to students who have been suspended due to violent activity or threats. I appreciate that this looks at multiple parts of the student’s life and results in a recommendation for treatment, along with short term counseling for immediate assistance.

ACT is typically provided by a multidisciplinary team of medical and mental health care providers, social workers, therapists, and other specialists, including addiction recovery professionals. These services are frequently provided in the home and community to clients in crisis, those who are clinically unstable, and those who are unable or unwilling to travel to a hospital or clinic for in-person treatment.

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.

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.

Drug & Alcohol Intervention

Intervention services are often necessary before treatment at a drug rehab in Maryland can begin. These professional services help you encourage your loved one to get the treatment they need. Support includes intervention facilitation, education about treatment plan options, and guidance in selecting the best program for your loved one.
