Get Help Today

Your physical and mental health is an ecosystem.

Medically managed care is designed to establish and maintain this delicate balance between the two so that you can focus on holistic healing. 

Integrating healthcare and medical supervision during substance abuse recovery helps patients overcome a potential barrier to treatment. Through the collaborative approach of our interdisciplinary team, we offer the best opportunity for life-long recovery despite underlying medical conditions.

What is Medically Managed Care?

Medically managed care, also commonly referred to as medically supervised care, is a whole-person approach to addiction treatment that incorporates medical interventions and oversight for underlying health conditions. 

This intensive level of care involves medications and evidence-based practices to address the needs of an individual struggling with addiction whose physical health may pose a barrier to treatment. Whether you’re suffering from diabetes, malnourishment, cancer, fibromyalgia, or chronic pain, all conditions can be treated simultaneously to establish comfort and make lasting recovery progress.

Alpas’s Process for Medically Managed Care

While everyone’s experience with addiction and treatment is different, a medically managed care plan typically includes the following:

Medical Managed Care Initial Assessment And Diagnosis

An admissions specialist will assess your overall health and determine the severity of your addiction. Here we will identify any co-occurring mental health disorders and evaluate underlying medical conditions. Participants will provide a detailed medical history in order to design an individualized treatment plan that meets every need.

For many individuals with drug or alcohol concerns, medically managed care may involve detoxification, which is the process of removing harmful substances from the body. This step can be intimidating to some–but medically supervised detox safely and effectively manages withdrawal symptoms while simultaneously caring for medical needs. These interventions make the process as comfortable as possible. Our Maryland detox center provides medically supervised detox to help you start your recovery journey.

You may be prescribed medications to help manage cravings, alleviate any lingering withdrawal symptoms, and reduce the risk of relapse as you transition from detox to short-term treatment.

Counseling and Behavioral Therapies

Medically managed care is an integrative approach, and your treatment goes beyond the initial medical intervention process.

Once you transition into residential care at Alpas, your care plan will include various forms of individual and group counseling and behavioral therapies, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, contingency management, and experiential therapy.

These modalities will help you develop healthy coping and communication skills,  address underlying mental health concerns, and prevent relapse.

Ongoing Medical Monitoring

Medical assessment and monitoring of your physical health throughout the treatment process is key in addressing any complications or co-occurring medical conditions. Your care team will conduct regular medical checkups to ensure that your body is stable so you can focus on recovery.

Why Medically
Managed Care Works

Medically managed care is interdisciplinary. Doctors, nurses, mental health professionals, and other specialists involved in your care work collaboratively to create a highly specialized care plan that meets your needs. SAMHSA states that the effectiveness of medical interventions is enhanced when patients also have access to counseling and additional services that offer the necessary support for successful recovery.[1]

I did the 30 day program at Alpas Wellness Recovery Center and it is a stellar program. They teach you some great coping skills for addiction and they follow your treatment 24/7. Most of the staff are always friendly and helpful. My Therapist, Desiree was phenomenal, Case Manager, Devin was very thoughtful and helpful. Several of the Group Facilitators were outstanding, Sam, and April and Jackie. They always reinforce their teachings by making you do the work. I feel equipped to keep going on this journey because of the treatment and care I received at Alpas. I recommend this facility highly if you are ready to really work the steps of addiction. Oh and one more thing be prepared to gain weight they feed you morning, noon, night and snacks! I am on to the next phase of my journey and I know I will have Alpas as a resource if I ever need them.

My experience at Alpas was far beyond what I had expected when going into rehab. The staff (upper management, the counselors/facilitators, behavior techs, and nurses) were extremely friendly, kind, caring, and helpful. I felt that my needs were always being met during my whole stay there. The classes were very informative, which were led by passionate and engaging facilitators. The environment was also very clean and the ambiance was calming and “homey”. I felt that everyone there cared deeply, and wanted the best for the clients during their stay at Alpas and for when they leave to go back into the “real world”. If anyone ever asks for suggestions for an in-patient rehab, I will have Alpas on the top of my list of suggestions.

I spent 30 days in the residential program at Alpas Wellness to ensure that I had all of the tools necessary to assist with my recovery and could not have imagined a better experience. The entire staff went above and beyond to make sure that all of my needs were met. The program is very well structured and there is much to be learned. The approach was not only to address my addiction, the primary focus was to address the mental aspect that may have caused it. If you are struggling and have not yet decided on a place that will offer great food, accommodations and new friendship, look no further than Alpass Wellness Maryland Recovery Center. You will not be disappointed. Thank you Alpass for the new and improved me!

Writing this from the perspective of an executive of another facility: Alpas truly has found a way to let gifted staff members with the right heart for this work come to the forefront of the care experience and truly accommodate people who are ready to do this work. Alexa and Darryl are gems and I can’t say enough about their dedication to the most vulnerable among us.
