About Montgomery County DHHS Silver Spring Center

Montgomery County DHHS operates two clinics for mental health and substance use, including the Silver Spring Center which provides behavioral health services for children and adults. This center in Silver Spring, Maryland also has social services such as food stamps, medical assistance and eviction prevention.

Services are also available in Spanish. They accept Medicaid only but I was glad to see that they also serve clients who have no insurance.

Emotional Support and Addiction Treatment for Youth and Families

The professionals at the Silver Spring Center can help youth and their families with behavioral issues, emotional or trauma concerns, and substance use treatment. They can treat co occurring disorders as well.

Services start with an assessment. They also provide individual, group and family therapy along with psychiatric medication management. The Silver Spring Center can match you with a case manager and also provides some school based services in the local school system.

One thing that caught my eye is that they work closely with the family, which is vital. Not only does substance use damage family relationships, but when the family works with their child in treatment, it helps them be better supporters during recovery.

Addiction Treatment Programs

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.

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.

Levels of Care

Outpatient Rehab

Outpatient rehab in Maryland is best suited for those who are coping well in recovery but need ongoing treatme...nt. 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 inter...act, so the treatment must be integrated. Dual diagnosis treatment in Maryland is designed to treat both co-occurring disorders.

Medicaid Accepted
