Group Therapy/support Groups in Hagerstown, MD?

Question by Rebecca P: Group therapy/support groups in Hagerstown, MD?
I live in Hagerstown, Maryland, and am looking for any support group or group therapy available in Hagerstown or nearby… not Frederick because I don’t drive, though. I am looking for a group in any or all of the following areas:

-Depression
-Anorexia/Bulimia
-Self-harm
-Trauma/PTSD/Abuse Survivor
-General mental illness

I’m not interested in AA, NA, OA, or NAMI because I’ve been to NAMI and OA and didn’t like them particularly. I don’t abuse alcohol or drugs so they aren’t suitable… any ideas? Places? Resources? I looked in the yellow pages and with various mental health agencies and am not having much luck. It’s so frustrating since Hagerstown is quite small… help, please?

Question by : Can you tell me what drug my sister is on?
My stepsister is on drugs. I didn’t see her, but the symptoms I was told she has are : sores all over face, extreme weight loss, hard time speaking, dropping things constantly, and then the hardest to describe is a sort of muscle problem. I was told that she kept talking with her head to the side and her arms were constantly moving almost like muscle spasms and I guess it almost looked like she was autistic or some other retardation.

Answer by kayrandall3513
if you dont mind my views on teen addiction… here it is the raw truth from an addict.
support groups do not help. You need counseling, you need medicines to help with withdrawls you need in treatment care. it doesnt matter its a phycological thing and it needs to be closly examined. No matter if its meth or weed or even alcohol. and as soon as you find a treatment center they will hook you up with all those places and pay for everything.
