About this facility
Located just outside of Annapolis, Discovery Mood’s northeastern residential treatment campus features three beautiful residences for evidence-based treatment in mental health disorders. The three distinct homes that make up the Annapolis residential mental health program each serves a different patient population to help address the unique needs of young adults, adults and those with co-occurring disorders.
Nestled at the end of a serene cul-de-sac, the property is set against a wooded backdrop with walking trails and lush greenery. The three residential houses are designed to be a safe, supervised and home-like setting to help clients focus on returning to a pre-crisis state, and developing skills and strategies to heal.
Treatment is personalized with a low patient-to-staff ratio (6:1), which allows for more individual attention and engagement. Typically, patients engage in treatment at Discovery for 35-45 days.
Discovery uses proven treatment modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and eye movement desensitization and response (EMDR) therapy. Experiential therapies like art therapy, equine therapy, recreation therapy, and meditation are also offered at Discovery. The Discovery program emphasizes life skills training through daily living activities, building relationships, school support, career development, and life transition planning. Once a patient finishes treatment, Discovery’s alumni program allows patients to stay connected, receive support, and focus on achieving their recovery goals.
Pre-Contemplation and Contemplation Stages of Change: During this phase of treatment, patients are adjusting to residential treatment and the program structure. All patients are on pre-phase for a minimum of 72 hours.
Contemplation and Preparation Stages of Change: During this phase of the journey, patients have accepted their need to participate in treatment, recognize their own importance, and identify areas of change that are needed in their life. During this phase of treatment, they begin to take steps towards their goals.
Preparation and Action Stages of Change: During this phase of treatment, patients are actively engaged in therapy and incorporating what is discussed in therapy sessions to move toward recovery. During this time, patients are better able to manage daily stressors and demonstrate independence in regulating their emotions.
Action and Maintenance Stages of Change: During this phase, patients are demonstrating consistent mastery of their emotions and can maintain positive changes that they have made in treatment. Patients in this phase of treatment require little staff support.
