Do you treat adolescents?
No. We do not treat patients under the age of 18.
Is Kolmac an inpatient/residential program?
Kolmac is not an inpatient program. Kolmac Integrated Behavioral Health is an intensive outpatient program (IOP) that offers flexible scheduling to fit your personal and professional needs. You have the option of attending group sessions in-person at certain locations or virtually across all states we hold licensure, including Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Washington, DC.
What if my work schedule conflicts with the group times?
We’ll work it out. We offer programs that run in both the day and the evening. However, it’s important for you to attend sessions regularly, arrive on time, and stay for the entire session. In addition, our experience is that most employers will accommodate a temporary schedule change when we supply a nonspecific medical excuse/letter.
What is treatment at Kolmac like?
Treatment at Kolmac mostly involves group sessions with other people in addiction recovery, as well as individual sessions with an addiction counselor. We work to make you feel safe and secure in both individual and group treatment sessions. We avoid confrontational or adversarial treatment. Group sessions follow a cognitive behavioral approach, which means we explore the thought processes and beliefs underlying addiction.
How long is the program and how long do I have to come?
The intensive outpatient (IOP) phase of treatment includes 20 and 30 sessions and lasts approximately 7-8 weeks. Our partial hospitalization (PHP) phase of treatment includes and includes 30-40 group sessions and lasts 6-8 weeks. You can participate in outpatient treatment (OP) as long as you like.
Can I come for detox and not participate in the counseling part?
To learn about detox at Kolmac, please refer to our Detox page. For more information, please reach out to our admissions team – they’re happy to speak with you to discuss what treatment options are right for you.
Does Kolmac treat patients with co-occurring disorders, i.e. someone with a substance use disorder as well as another behavioral health condition such as depression?
Yes. However, we don’t accept patients with clinical diagnosis for psychosis. For more details, please refer to our Treatment Programs page, or call our admissions team.
What is buprenorphine (Suboxone)?
Buprenorphine is a medication used in treating people with opioid use disorder (OUD). Learn more on our Medication-Assisted Treatment Page.
Do you provide buprenorphine (Suboxone) without requiring the patient to participate in the rehab program
If a patient is currently seeing a provider for buprenorphine and is willing to continue buprenorphine, we will induce buprenorphine treatment for the patient.
Do you follow a 12-step model?
Our program is compatible with 12-Step principles, but unlike many other abstinence-based treatment programs we do not make the 12-Step traditions the core of our program. Because of the importance of participation in community recovery support groups for a stable recovery, we encourage our patients to make a good-faith effort to participate in one or more of these groups during their time at Kolmac.
