Mental Health Services (Maryland DPSCS)

The Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services Mental Health page describes the unit that oversees a continuum of mental health care for incarcerated people, spanning acute inpatient, long-term residential, step-down and outpatient treatment. Licensed mental health staff are stationed in every geographical region of the state to treat people with serious mental illness, respond to mental health crises and provide routine and follow-up counselling. These state clinicians work together with psychiatric services supplied under the department's comprehensive health care contract so that needs are met in the most clinically appropriate setting. The page gives the Mental Health Services office address on Reisterstown Road in Baltimore and a direct telephone number, and links across to medical services, social work services and substance use disorder treatment.
