Our Approach: Recovery Rooted in Respect and Evidence

Every journey to recovery is different. That’s why we take a flexible, individualized approach. Our clinicians work closely with clients to understand not only the symptoms of addiction, but also the underlying causes—such as trauma, anxiety, unresolved anger, or environmental stressors.

Our treatment plans may include:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
  • Motivational Interviewing
  • Trauma-informed care
  • Life skills development
  • Relapse prevention planning
  • Emotional regulation techniques
  • Family therapy, when appropriate

We also incorporate psychoeducation, helping clients understand how addiction affects the brain and behavior—and how recovery is possible with the right strategies in place. For individuals struggling with intense emotional responses, our programs may include components of anger management in Maryland, designed to teach healthier ways to process and express difficult emotions as part of long-term recovery.

What Makes Our Addiction Recovery Program Different

At Cherished Hands, recovery isn’t just about sobriety—it’s about wholeness. Here’s what makes our services unique:

  • Dual treatment tracks for both adults and children
  • Personalized care plans—no cookie-cutter programs
  • Supportive environment free from shame or judgment
  • Ongoing progress monitoring with adaptable goals
  • Therapeutic collaboration with families, schools, or support networks when needed

We don’t believe in quick fixes. Our goal is to help each person develop sustainable habits and healthy coping mechanisms that last long after treatment ends.

Outpatient Groups and Individual Counseling

We offer two pathways to healing—each designed to meet people where they are:

  • Group Outpatient Program
    These structured, therapist-led sessions create a community of shared support. Clients learn from one another, build social skills, and explore recovery topics together, all within a guided format.
  • Individual Counseling
    One-on-one sessions provide a more private, intensive space for exploring emotions, triggers, and recovery goals. This format is ideal for clients needing personalized attention or working through trauma, co-occurring mental health conditions, or complex family dynamics.

Many clients benefit from both services concurrently—creating a balanced approach that fosters both internal and social growth.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I need substance abuse recovery services?
If you’re finding it difficult to control your substance use, noticing negative effects on your health or relationships, or feeling dependent on drugs or alcohol to cope, it may be time to seek support. We can help assess your situation and recommend the best next step.
What happens during the first appointment?
During your initial session, we take time to learn about your experiences, challenges, and recovery goals. This helps us create a tailored plan that aligns with your needs and pace.
Can recovery support work if I’ve already tried other programs before?
Yes. Recovery isn’t a one-size-fits-all process. If previous attempts didn’t work, it doesn’t mean you’ve failed. We provide personalized care that adjusts to where you are in your journey—even if that includes past setbacks.
What’s the difference between outpatient recovery groups and individual counseling?
Outpatient groups offer peer interaction, guided discussions, and community support, while individual counseling provides a private space to focus on personal challenges. We often recommend a combination, depending on your comfort and goals.
Is this type of program appropriate for children or teens?
Yes, we offer developmentally appropriate services for children and adolescents. Our team is trained to support younger clients with tailored strategies that respect their stage of life and emotional development.
How long does the treatment process usually take?
There’s no set timeline for recovery. Some individuals engage in short-term care, while others benefit from ongoing support. We regularly review your progress together and make adjustments based on your evolving needs.
