The Hagerstown center is located in a suburban neighborhood seven miles west of central Hagerstown, Md. </p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>According to the facility's website, Hagerstown Treatment Center utilizes medication-assisted treatment (MAT). The medication used includes <strong>Suboxone, buprenorphine, and Naloxone</strong>. MAT is used to ease withdrawal symptoms and cravings. Only <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/MD16.pdf" target="_blank">37.6% of facilities</a> in tbe state offer Suboxone treatment.]</p> <p>Treatment begins with a physical exam and a psychosocial assessment conducted by the center’s medical director to build an individualized treatment plan. Lab work conducted as part of the physical might result in later referrals to medical care. </p> <p><strong>Each client is assigned a personal counselor,</strong> and clients must also submit to random urinalysis testing. Programming includes <strong>individual and group counseling</strong>. Where appropriate, referrals are provided for medical and dental care, educational or vocational training, employment assistance, <strong>pastoral or religious counseling</strong>, support groups, as well as mental health counseling.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>According to the center's website, Colonial Management Center <strong>employs doctors, nurses, social workers, and counselors.</strong> However, it's not clear what staff members are particularly at the Hagerstown Treatment Center. Both of the individuals polled by Rehabs.com to date gave Hagerstown Treatment Center three out of five stars for its staff’s level of training and experience.</p> <p><strong>WHAT ALUMNI SAY</strong></p> <p>At the time of this writing, Rehabs.com had not received any reviews directly from alumni of this facility, though <strong>secondary review sites yielded mixed feedback.</strong> </p> <p>On Facebook, the center had a single five out of five star review.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small> However, the 27 people who left reviews on Google provided an average rating of <strong>3.3 out of five stars</strong><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a></small>. Multiple people wrote about how the center was a "joke," described their difficulty obtaining proper treatment at this center, citing overcrowding, rude staff, insufficient counseling, and a generally uncaring atmosphere. However, other alumni praised the counselors and felt the program was highly effective.</p> <p>"Never go to this place!! They don't care about their patiants at all. They just care about the money we bring," Samantha wrote in a representative negative review. However, alum Dolly disagreed, writing: "This place helped give me my life back that drugs had taken from many years ago. I can only say great things about this place."</p> <p><strong>WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY</strong></p> <p>The two loved ones polled by Rehabs.com at the time of this writing provided lukewarm to positive feedback. They both gave three out of five stars when asked if they would recommend the treatment center and for the facility's counseling options. </p> <p>Although one reviewer gave the facility four stars for the overall effectiveness of its treatment, the other declined to rate this category. The reviewers’ comments were vague. “Worked well with patients and provided them with what was needed,” Samantha wrote, though she added: “Mental health first was a weakness.”</p> <p><strong>WHAT STAFF SAY</strong></p> <p>Rehabs.com has yet to receive any reviews from this facility’s employees or former staff members. However, the three people who left reviews for Hagerstown Treatment Center on Indeed at the time of this writing provided negative to neutral reviews.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-3"><sup>[3]</sup></a></small> </p> <p>One former employee left a one-star review. "Each counselor is required to carry a caseload of 50 clients-the highest allowed by state law. The workload is impossible and leaves counselors focusing on completing paperwork rather than talking with their clients during sessions," they wrote. </p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>Hagerstown Treatment Center accepts <strong>private insurance, Medicaid, and private pay</strong>. The two individuals polled by Rehabs.com to date gave the center a one and three out of five stars for its affordability.</p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/NewSeasonTreatmentCenters" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/NewSeasonTreatmentCenters</a></small><br /> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/place/Hagerstown+Treatment+Center/@39.625579,-77.8142677,17z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x89c9f30a99885fe7:0x5befecddb6c40c75!8m2!3d39.625579!4d-77.812079?shorturl=1" target="_blank">GoogleReviews</a></small><br /> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-3"><sup>[3]</sup></a> <a href="http://www.indeed.com/cmp/Hagerstown-Treatment-Center/reviews" target="_blank">http://www.indeed.com/cmp/Hagerstown-Treatment-Center/reviews</a></small></p>
