About this facility
Alpas Wellness La Plata, LLC is a medical organization with a Drug & Alcohol Treatment Centre in Charles County, Maryland. Alpas Wellness offers drug & alcohol addiction, dual-diagnosis & mental health treatment to individuals struggling with addiction issues. Named after the Tagalog word for breaking free, Alpas Wellness Center provides a continuum of personalized care for addiction recovery. Their levels of care include medically supervised detox, residential care, and aftercare. Their plant-infused facility has nursing stations on each floor, refresh spaces, and the option of private rooms.
Alpas Wellness Center begins treatment with an initial assessment and diagnosis of co-occurring mental health conditions, if present. They use a range of holistic and evidence-based therapies to treat addiction and co-occurring conditions, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing techniques, experiential therapies, and contingency management. Clients receive a personalized treatment plan aligned with their diagnoses, recovery needs, and goals. Regular medical check-ups keep staff attuned to their needs.
In addition to treating addiction and dual diagnoses, Alpas Wellness Center addresses underlying medical conditions. These include diabetes, cancer, chronic pain, fibromyalgia, cardiovascular disorders, respiratory disorders, liver disease, and more. Their medical staff comprises a psychiatrist, clinical consultant, nurses, licensed practical nurses (LPNs), masters-level counselors, therapists, a physician assistant, and clinical art therapist. Nurses and an on-call physician monitor detox 24/7. Alpas Wellness Center offers medication-assisted treatment (MAT) on a case-by-case basis.
Alpas Wellness Center collaborated with the University of Pennsylvania Center for Neuroaesthetics (PCfN) to create a calming, restorative space to heal. Their naturalistic facility has a fitness center, arcade games, a café with nutritional meals and snacks, private spaces to relax, and a quiet room for biofeedback. Alpas Wellness Center’s work-flex program provides monitored access to a computer if deemed necessary. They have shared or private rooms available. Clients attend group, 1:1, and family therapy. After residential treatment, clients can participate in aftercare.
