Project Chesapeake is a great IOP/OP treatment option. Not only does the staff genuinely care about you, they offer multiple services under one roof. I opted into this program for longer than required (crazy right?) and will continue to utilize their services regardless of my OP completion. I will refer my loved ones, friends, and/or acquaintances to Project Chesapeake if need be. Thank you for everything you guys do and keep up the good work! :)

Today I celebrate 1 yr any 1 month sober; I really don't think it would have been possible without the help from everyone at Project Chesapeak. They have always gone above and beyond there obligations to me as there client. Especially Ray, who always took the time to listin, give advice when I needed it, and even arranged for his girlfriend to take me to a meeting. I would recommend Project Chesapeak to anyone that's seeking treatmemt!!

Can’t give 0 stars or I would. This place is an insurance scam and the “treatment” quality is so beyond low I don’t even know how they’re JCAHO certified. First of all their IOP and OP is a video call with all the patients and one “therapist” Nobody has their camera on and more than half the patients don’t even talk the whole group. You could literally sign in, keep your camera off, and do whatever during group. Which okay, you get out of treatment what you put into it. My boyfriend was doing their IOP, attending every “session” and reporting for urine test 2 times a week. That’s the gist of the program. No one on one therapy, you aren’t even assigned a therapist. You just sit in group online with other patients and pass the time. There is no actual therapeutic value, substance use disorder education, treatment plan, or goal. As long as you’re logged in and they can bill insurance they don’t care about anything else. My boyfriend is in the drug court program through the state of Maryland which requires an IOP so that’s how he ended up going into this facility. Like I had stated, he was doing everything he was required to do. He failed a test at drug court one day after being passing the previous day and then passed his next test. Drug court ask Project Chesapeake to refer him to a higher level of care. Ray who runs project Chesapeake said he was clean at the point and didn’t meet criteria for inpatient and it would be insurance fraud to put him on a higher level of care than he medically needed. Drug court then threatened to stop referring people to him, which meant he would loose the insurance kickbacks from whoever would’ve been referred if he did not figure out a way for him to go into treatment. 3 weeks later Ray got him a bed in a Project Chesapeake inpatient. He didn’t mean criteria the day after failing a drug test because he wasn’t using and wasn’t failing test but somehow met criteria 3 weeks later. Those 3 weeks he continued doing his iop meetings, going to AA meetings, doing step work, passing all his drug test, he even set up an appointment for an opioid blocking shot as a safety net. So whatever lies Ray spun the the insurance company to get them to cover inpatient is considered insurance fraud. He didn’t stand up for his patient who was doing everything right for his recovery, he gave him the message that it didn’t matter how well he was doing, project Chesapeake couldn’t afford to loose their main referral source. He had no problem uprooting someone’s life, making him leave his 4 kids with no one else to care for them besides myself, who works and goes to school with full time and and my boyfriends mother who’s sick on an oxygen tank or social services. It doesn’t matter what type of therapeutic progress or steps in recovery you are taking. If the payout is not high enough they make it worth their while.
