Calvert County Behavioral Health

They provide outpatient and telemedicine. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Prince Frederick is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Prince Frederick, 2.1 miles away.

They work in Spanish as well as English. Ask whether the group sessions in Barstow are in Spanish too, or only the one to one ones.

Some of what they do can happen remotely. Ask which parts, because it is rarely all of them and the 5 centers near Barstow differ on it.

Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Barstow.

It is everything arranged for after the program, and it lasts longer than the program does. Alumni programs exist at many centers and are usually free to people who went through them. Ask what the discharge plan looks like before you choose the program.

Court ordered and voluntary treatment are the same programs, with different paperwork around them. Missing sessions has consequences beyond the clinical ones, which is a real difference in practice. Keep your own dated attendance record alongside whatever the program keeps.

The point of the call is to work out which level of care fits, which takes a handful of questions. A family member can make the call and answer much of this, though some questions only the person using can answer. Ask for the name of whoever you spoke to, so the second call starts where the first ended.
