MRB Counseling Services Inc

They provide outpatient and telemedicine. The nearest alternative is in Montgomery Village, 2.3 miles away, if you want something to compare it against.

Some of what they do can happen remotely. Ask which parts, because it is rarely all of them and the 8 centers near Gaithersburg differ on it.

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

Both can be treated at once, and programs that do are described as integrated or co-occurring. Where a diagnosis already exists, the existing prescriber becomes part of the plan. Ask how often you would see a prescriber, not only whether one exists.

It is common, programs are built expecting it, and it is not a reason to wait. Shame is the main reason people wait, and waiting is the thing that makes it worse. Ask what this program would do differently from the last one.

The documents matter: identification, insurance details, and anything a prescriber has written for you. Chargers, razors and anything with a cord are often held and signed out when needed rather than kept in the room. Sort out who has your keys, your mail and your animals before the day itself.
