<p><strong>ABOUT FREDERICK MEMORIAL HOSPITAL – BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES</strong></p> <p>Behavioral Health Services at Frederick Memorial Hospital's main facility in Maryland provides treatment for adults struggling with mental health concerns, including <strong><a href="http://www.recovery.org/topics/dual-diagnosis-recovery/" target="_blank">co-occurring substance abuse disorders,</a></strong> making it one of the <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/MD17.pdf" target="_blank">202 (52.2 percent)</a> centers in the state offering this service. Individuals can expect to participate in multiple forms of treatment through individual care plans. </p> <p>Located about an hour from Washington, D.C., Frederick Memorial offers one of the only <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/MD17.pdf" target="_blank">10 (2.6 percent)</a> <strong>hospital-based inpatient programs</strong> in the state, along with partial hospitalization (PHP), and <strong>intensive outpatient programs (IOP)</strong>. </p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>Clients are admitted for inpatient treatment through Frederick Memorial Hospital's emergency department and may be referred directly from the ER or via other treatment facilities or community providers. While admitted, their <strong>care is focused on assessment, stabilization</strong>, and planning for continued treatment after discharge, according to the facility's website. </p> <p>Inpatient and intensive outpatient-based clients participate in <strong>individual and group therapy</strong>, medication management, and various educational and support group sessions. <strong>Twelve-step meetings</strong> are available on-site, as are family counseling and educational services. Individuals receiving dual diagnosis treatment also attend substance abuse education groups.</p> <p>Frederick Memorial's <strong>partial hospitalization program</strong> involves treatment five full days a week, while the intensive outpatient program meets from three to five days. The IOP program is meant as either a <strong>step-down treatment from a residential setting or to prevent hospitalization when possible</strong>. Participation in one of these intensive programs typically lasts between one and three weeks.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>Frederick Memorial Hospital's Behavioral Health Services unit employs nurses, social workers, and psychiatrists. The two individuals polled by Rehabs.com to date awarded four and five stars out of five for the staff's level of training and experience.</p> <p><strong>ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES</strong></p> <p>There is currently no information available from Frederick Memorial about living arrangements or related offerings for residents in its <strong>21-bed psychiatric unit</strong>. However, both reviewers who submitted reviews to Rehabs.com rated the facility's cleanliness and upkeep highly. One also gave four stars for its meals and nutrition.</p> <p><strong>WHAT ALUMNI SAY</strong></p> <p>The sole former client of Behavioral Health Services at Frederick Memorial Hospital polled by Rehabs.com to date indicated that they were strongly satisfied with their treatment and overall experience. "Staff are very friendly," the reviewer wrote, granting five stars for the effectiveness of treatment, family involvement, and affordability. Faring less favorably were available options in counseling practices, with just three stars. In addition to the staff, this reviewer praised the facility's "no nonsense" policies, but complained of high staff turnover, reporting that the same counselor was not available consistently.</p> <p>On Google, at the time of this writing, 122 individuals had contributed to an average rating of <strong>2.7 out of five for the general hospital.</strong><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small> Most feedback centered on emergency, surgical, or other medical care. However, three reviewers referenced mental health treatment critically, <strong>characterizing staff members as inattentive to client needs</strong> and not well-trained. One reported not receiving the help with medication that they wanted.</p> <p><strong>WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY</strong></p> <p>Rehabs.com had received feedback for Frederick Memorial from one loved one of a former client at the time of this writing. The anonymous reviewer identified the hospital's location as a strength and, similarly to the alum polled, <strong>rated affordability of treatment highly</strong> as well as counseling options three stars. Holistic therapy offerings, not referenced on the facility's website, received just two stars, but treatment for co-occurring conditions and the overall effectiveness of treatment each received four.</p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>There is currently no information available from Behavioral Health Services at Frederick Memorial Hospital regarding treatment costs. However, the facility's website indicates that some insurance plans are accepted.</p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> <a href="https://goo.gl/M1LWjZ" target="_blank">GoogleReviews</a></small></p>
