About Sheppard Pratt – The Retreat

The Retreat at Sheppard Pratt is a drug and alcohol treatment facility located in Baltimore, Maryland. They offer treatment for men, women and veterans who are struggling with dual diagnosis and substance abuse disorders. The levels of care provided include inpatient treatment, outpatient treatment and extended treatment. They offer art therapy, rock climbing, equine assisted therapy and yoga. Other services that will be available are individual counseling, group therapy, personalized treatment planning and family therapy. They work with a variety of health insurance providers and provide self payment plans so you can get the healing you need.

Art therapy is one of the tools they use to help you process emotions and express feelings and thoughts that can be challenging or uncomfortable to vocalize. This can encourage self expression, boost confidence, improve memory and amplify cognitive brain function. Art therapy can be drawing, painting, photography, sculpting, coloring and poetry. This can also be a new hobby you can do alone and with others.

Equine assisted treatment is a therapy where you will interact with horses. This will consist of feeding, leading, grooming, walking and riding. Studies show that working with horses can improve emotional well being, improve communication, and help individuals rebuild trust with others. By taking care of horses, you can also increase self awareness, empathy and take responsibility.

Hiking and rock climbing are some of the other therapeutic activities they utilize. This can provide stress relief, improve focus, help you overcome fears, increase strength, help with decision making, and improve problem solving. Being outdoors and in nature can help reduce anxiety and also restore your mental health.

Yoga combines the mind, body and spirit and encourages you to focus on self care. Yoga improves flexibility, provides mental clarity and can also offer stress relief. Yoga can be therapeutic and provide recreational fun. This can be something you do alone, with your loved ones or with your peers.

Amenities

Residential Setting

Residential drug rehab provides the comforts of home with the therapeutic support needed to successfully recover. Benefits of an inpatient program include increased safety, a higher success rate, and the time and distance given to focus on recovery. Residential drug rehabs are often the preferred method of treatment, as they can be tailored to meet specific needs, offer focused therapeutic care, and provide the necessary tools to sustain recovery.

Rec Room & Activities

Recreational therapy uniquely combines therapeutic interventions with an activity, like horse-riding, hiking, wilderness therapy, basketball, tennis, or a full workout. Benefits of recreational therapy include providing a healthy way to work through the emotions of recovery, learning to build and maintain relationships, improving communication skills, and building self-esteem.

Art Therapy

Art and music are mediums that connect with our feelings, making them a great recovery tool during addiction treatment. Studies show that combining art/music and drug rehab can have a greater therapeutic impact than drug rehab alone, as you’re able to access parts of your brain and body that you may not have access to during traditional talk therapy. Benefits of art/music therapy include lowering stress and anxiety, promoting healthy neurochemicals, and providing stress relief.

Meditation Room

Yoga and meditation are great activities to support your recovery process during alcohol or drug rehab. These therapies have been around for centuries, and they are an effective way to improve well-being. Combining addiction treatment, yoga, and meditation can reduce cravings, improve sleep, relieve anxiety and depression, provide stress relief, promote relaxation, support emotional healing, and improve energy levels.

Music Room

Music can be extremely therapeutic, serving as a valuable healing tool and an integrative feature of a holistic treatment plan. A music room offers a large number of outlets, including singing, playing musical instruments, and listening to music.

Yoga Studio

Treatment centers with a yoga studio offer a special form of holistic therapy during the recovery process. Yoga boosts mindfulness, a sense of calm, and healthy reflection during drug rehab via breathing exercises, stretching, and a progression of specific postures.

Private Rooms

In order to maintain a sense of autonomy, many private rehab facilities offer clients the ability to choose their own private rooms. The privacy and personal space ensure that the recovery process is as comfortable as possible.

Pet Friendly

There’s nothing more distressing than leaving pets at home when leaving for for rehab. That’s why many addiction treatment programs are now pet friendly, allowing you to bring pets with you while attending a residential drug rehab program. These tailored addiction treatment programs provide a private room that has space to comfortably support you and your beloved furry companion.

Adventure Therapy

Hiking is a great way to relieve stress, get perspective, navigate challenges, connect with nature, and improve your health - all essential components of sustaining long-term recovery. Studies also show that the body releases endorphins during physical activities like hiking. These endorphins improve mood and act as a natural pain reliever.

Gym

When paired with cognitive-behavioral therapy, exercise can be an effective tool for overcoming addiction. Drug rehabs with a gym offer clients healthy ways to increase energy levels, balance the body’s stress hormone levels, and aid in the brain’s healing process.

Luxury Rehab

Luxury rehab is a form of treatment offered in a residential, resort-style setting. You’ll receive personalized treatment from staff and clinicians, have access to forms of treatment that go beyond what a typical inpatient rehab offers, and offer specific amenities like ocean views, large single occupancy bedrooms with private baths, and complementary spa treatments like massage, acupuncture, or reiki. Most luxury rehab centers have a limited number of beds.

WiFi

Some rehab programs offer free Wi-Fi to guests who have full access to their smartphone devices or laptop computers during treatment. While access to these devices may be allowed, the time spent using them is often regulated or restricted so clients can focus on treatment.

Addiction Treatment Programs

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.

Adult Program

A typical adult program in Maryland offers a private setting for rehabilitation from alcohol or drugs. Treatment often includes group therapy, individual counseling, and family support and may occur in a residential facility or through outpatient care.

Men’s rehab in Maryland helps men recover from substance use disorders and start rebuilding their lives. Therapies focus on men only and their unique needs.

Women's Rehab

Women’s rehab in Maryland provides an environment where women can step back from daily stresses and distractions to focus on their recovery. The caring, safe surroundings help create positive recovery outcomes.

Opioid Treatment

Opioid rehab in Maryland takes place in a safe, supportive environment that minimizes access to opioids and reduces stressors that trigger relapse. Treatment often begins with medical detox, followed by inpatient rehab that may last 30 to 90 days. Aftercare is provided to help maintain long-term sobriety.

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.

Drug Rehab

Once a person becomes addicted to a substance, drug rehab in Maryland is often necessary to overcome that addiction. These programs provide the tools individuals need to manage the physical, mental, and emotional issues involved and begin a successful recovery journey.

Animal & Equine Therapy

Animal & equine therapy are evidence-based complementary therapies drawing on the emotional, psychological, and physiological benefits of regular contact with animals. Addiction recovery programs may incorporate the care of therapy dogs, cats, horses, and other animals into their treatment model to support clients’ development of recovery-focused life skills, including personal responsibility, time management, and empathy. Contact with therapy animals may reduce stress, enhance mood, decrease depression and anxiety, and increase clients’ self-esteem and sense of wellbeing.

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.

Dual Diagnosis & Mental Health

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.

Aftercare & Alumni Program

Addiction challenges don’t end after rehab. To maintain good health and sobriety, you’ll need to continue to manage your addiction. Aftercare rehab in Maryland helps you by providing continued access to specialists, counselors, and life coaches for as long as you need them.

Inpatient Rehab

The most intensive level of care is known as inpatient rehab. It involves living at the facility until you finish your program, receiving extensive individual and group addiction counseling, recovery-focused life skills training, and complementary therapies.

Detox & MAT

Maryland drug rehabs often start with detox. During this initial step, your body will be cleansed of all addictive substances. You’ll remain under constant supervision and may receive medication to alleviate withdrawal symptoms.

Sober Living

A Maryland sober living home is appropriate for those who want to abstain from drugs and alcohol but need a high level of accountability. If you don’t have strong support at home or have been resistant to treatment in the past, this structured environment can provide the support you need to maintain sobriety in the first few months of recovery.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

People with busy lifestyles or young children tend to benefit from partial hospitalization programs (PHPs) in Maryland. This type of recovery program offers structured addiction treatment services while still allowing you to live at home.
