The Bergand Group

The Bergand Group specializes in treating mental illness and addiction in adults. You'll find them in Lutherville, Maryland. This location offers multiple levels of care, including detox and intensive and general outpatient programs. The Bergand Group also offers co occurring disorder care and they accept most major insurance plans.

The DUI/DWI program stands out because the Bergand Group has both a state approved educational program and alcohol treatment program. The program is comprehensive and serves Maryland residents in six counties. The Bergand Group offers a continuous weekly DUI education program with rolling admissions, allowing you to join at any time. The program meets for two hours per week for six weeks. They also offer aftercare that lasts 26 or 52 weeks, which is especially important for repeat offenders.

The Bergand Group wants to deliver quality healthcare services on a flexible schedule. The outpatient programs have multiple daily sessions to accommodate your work and school schedule. Additionally, they offer therapy individually and in groups so you can get both peer support and individual attention.

The intensive outpatient program is designed to "step down" into general outpatient treatment. Think of it as continuing care, where the second phase will build on what you learned in the first and give you a space to continue practicing your recovery skills. Those in the intensive outpatient program also have access to additional clinical services.

Family involvement in your treatment is encouraged. Those closest to us are the ones who can best support our recovery. By taking an active role in your recovery program, family members can learn more about how addiction works and how they can best help you on your treatment journey. Couples therapy is also an option.

I like that Bergand Group offers virtual appointments, also known as telehealth. These appointments let you join a session remotely, typically by computer or phone. If you find that your schedule makes it difficult to get to the clinic, the virtual option allows you to still attend sessions. They are also great if something else gets in the way, like if you need to be home to tend to a sick loved one.
