Program Description

  Adult Behavioral Health Services

Adult Behavioral Health Services is an Outpatient Mental Health Center (OMHC) that serves primarily individuals with severe and persistent mental illness. Services are site-based and include psychiatric evaluation and medication management; individual, group and family therapy; as well as office-based management services. Collaboration with family members, collateral treatment providers, and formal and informal community supports are integral parts of the treatment process and are highly encouraged. The program accepts public benefits such as Medicare and Medical Assistance but also utilizes the annual Maryland Department of Health-Behavioral Health Administration sliding fee scale. Most of the clinical staff is bilingual in English and either Spanish, Vietnamese, or French, and clients speaking other languages are assisted using the Language Line, a telephone interpretation service.
