Community Counseling & Mentoring Services Inc.

In Largo, Maryland, you'll find the mental health and substance use disorder treatment center Community Counseling and Mentoring Services (CCMS). They have programs for people of all ages, from 5 to 80, with an array of specialty programs for kids. This is an outpatient facility.

CCMS accepts Medicaid and private insurance plans as well.

Their program mixes individual and community support. One thing about their program that stands out to me is they can provide care offsite and in the clinic. I think you'll agree the option to receive care closer to home is a big plus. Another is that local attractions, like Lake Arbor Community Center, are within driving distance. You can unwind and stretch your legs between sessions.

Making Sure You Get Everything You Need

CCMS's goal to bring you stability doesn't end with treatment. They offer a number of different support programs targeting different areas of your life. These areas all work together to bring you the stability needed to maintain recovery.

One method of support I want to draw attention to is the help they offer with applying for benefits. Some folks find the process of applying for these programs daunting without someone on their side, while others may not be aware of everything they may be entitled to. CCMS will help in both cases if you qualify.

Assisting You With Daily Living Onsite and Off

CCMS staff can help you with the smaller parts of daily living. Two examples are transportation and medication management. These are seemingly simple tasks that many of us take for granted, but when they start to slip other parts of our lives can suffer. I like that CCMS can bridge the gap to keep you on track.

The social aspect of recovery is something many don't consider when they first enter a program. That said, social skills boost recovery in multiple ways. Simply not feeling isolated can do wonders for your mental well being. CCMS can connect you with area social activities to keep you in touch with others around you. It also has the added effect of keeping you busy in a healthy way. Simply staying active with others can be an effective relapse prevention tool.

Considering all the above, I think Community Counseling and Mentoring Services is worth your consideration if you're looking for robust support in and outside of treatment sessions.
