Some reviewers also cited unclean living conditions, unhelpful group sessions, and <strong>over-reliance on medication</strong>. "Staff is unprofessional, there is no communication, and they just give patients drugs so they don’t have to deal with them," L.G. wrote in a typical comment on Google. The handful of positive reviews tend to directly contradict client complaints, <strong>praising the center's caring and attentive staff</strong>: "The staff was very loving and friendly. The nurses were caring, the doctors fantastic," Heather wrote in a representative review on Google.</p> <p><strong>WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY</strong></p> <p>The single loved one polled by Rehabs.com to date would recommend Adventist's addiction treatment. "The staff was very professional and experienced and the facility was well-kept... I think it was a big part of my son's eventual recovery," the anonymous reviewer wrote, giving the facility four stars for its family participation and ability to treat co-occurring disorders and three stars for its holistic offerings and counseling options.</p> <p><strong>WHAT STAFF SAY</strong></p> <p>Adventist's behavioral health services have <strong>mixed feedback on employment review site Indeed</strong>, where 27 current and former staffers have given the services an average rating of 3.2 out of five stars.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-4"><sup>[4]</sup></a></small> The reviewers repeatedly stressed their coworkers' commitment to helping clients, but complained of <strong>heavy workloads, understaffing, and a generally stressful work environment</strong>, all of which could impact client care. "Pros: some amazing peers to work with... Cons: often no relief is provided for lunch coverage, expectation for work required difficult to achieve bc of limited staffing..." one reviewer wrote in a representative comment.</p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>The facility accepts coverage from most commercial insurance plans, as well as Medicare and Medicaid (accepted at <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/MD17.pdf" target="_blank">31 percent and 75.5 percent</a> of Maryland facilities, respectively). The single individual polled by Rehabs.com to date gave the center four 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.google.com/search?q=adventist+behavioral+health+rockville&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS725US725&oq=adventist+behavioral+health+ro&aqs=chrome.0.0j69i57j69i60l3j0.6627j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#lrd=0x89b632ac2a7d34c1:0xd6dc5d518f535a74,1,," target="_blank">GoogleReviews</a></small><br /> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.yelp.com/biz/adventist-healthcare-shady-grove-medical-center-mental-health-rockville" target="_blank">https://www.yelp.com/biz/adventist-healthcare-shady-grove-medical-center-mental-health-rockville</a></small><br /> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-3"><sup>[3]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pg/AdventistSGMCBHOutpatient/reviews/?ref=page_internal" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/pg/AdventistSGMCBHOutpatient/reviews/?ref=page_internal</a></small><br /> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-4"><sup>[4]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.indeed.com/cmp/Adventist-Behavioral-Health/reviews?fcountry=US&floc=Rockville%2C+MD" target="_blank">https://www.indeed.com/cmp/Adventist-Behavioral-Health/reviews?fcountry=US&floc=Rockville%2C+MD</a></small></p>
