About Charles County Department of Health

Charles County Department of Health is a county level integrated care clinic in White Plains, Maryland. They’re committed to promoting the general well being of county residents through quality and low cost care. The facility also serves folks in surrounding areas including Bowie in Prince George’s County. The facility accepts Medicare and Maryland Medicaid.

Recovery in Suburban White Plains

The facility is situated in a suburban setting along a major commercial corridor in White Plains. The surrounding area features retail outlets, shops and restaurants. Mallard Lake is about five miles north of the clinic. Smallwood State Park is also relatively close. These are great natural spots to just relax and take your mind off things after a long day of therapy. I like that there are also self help groups nearby at the Waldorf Church of the Nazarene and St. Peter’s Catholic Church. You can join one of these groups to strengthen your support network.

Adult and Adolescent Addiction Recovery

The facility offers substance use treatment for adults and adolescents as part of their behavioral health services. You can choose from general outpatient programs (OP) and intensive outpatient programs (IOP). The IOP is appropriate if you have moderate to severe substance use issues while the OP is more suitable if you’re experiencing milder issues.

During treatment you’ll participate in both group and individual therapy sessions to build strong coping skills and prevent relapse. These sessions may draw heavily from evidence based practices like cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma focused therapy. These help you process past experiences, understand your triggers and develop healthier coping mechanisms. They highly favor the trauma focused approach to care and may use models like eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) to help you process and heal from past experiences. Family counseling is also provided to create a positive family dynamic and strengthen your support network.

I think the beauty of these programs is their flexibility. You’ll be able to receive life saving care while maintaining your jobs and everyday responsibilities.

Medication Assisted Treatment for Opioid Addiction

As part of their commitment to promoting public health the facility offers medication assisted treatment (MAT) to help those struggling with opioid use issues. It may also be accessible as a standalone treatment. The technique facilitates holistic healing by pairing counseling and FDA approved meds.

Jail Based Treatment

The facility also offers jail based treatment and partners with Family Recovery Court. They can provide ongoing support as you move forward in your recovery. They may also link you to community resources that support your long term recovery.

Smoking Cessation Programs

I think it’s great that if you’re struggling to quit smoking or chewing tobacco this facility can help you with that as well. They may equip you with tools, support and guidance tailored to your needs. They may also offer counseling to make quitting less overwhelming and more manageable. They can help you with e-cigarettes and vaping as well.
