PDG provides psychiatric rehabilitation services for individuals with mental illness. We currently provide services for individuals who live throughout the Metropolitan Baltimore - Washington Corridor.

The Psychiatric Rehabilitation Program at PDG works to assist individuals with severe mental illness to reach a higher level of independence. The PRP program assists consumers with accessing and coordinating services and resources in their communities and works to ensure that the consumer has access to the best possible treatment. Psychiatric Rehabilitation Aides provide services within the home and the community. Our Aides assist the consumer with learning and developing improved daily living skills (i.e. personal hygiene, organizational skills, time management skills, nutrition, and money management), as well as working towards achieving healthy coping mechanisms.

Yes, PDG operates day programs at both our Glen Burnie and Baltimore City offices. The PRP Day Program provides consumers with various therapeutic, educational and recreational activities within a group setting.

For PRP services, the consumer should have Medical Assistance (MA), Primary Adult Care (PAC), or Employed Individuals with Disabilities (EID) benefits.

Consumers are authorized for three to six months of PRP services. Near the end of each authorization period, goals can be re-examined and PDG can request additional periods of service.

We attempt to contact a new referral within 48 hours. Once the referral is contacted, we schedule an intake within the next three business days, and proceed with assigning the consumer to an aide within 10 days of the initial referral.

Once a completed referral is made, the consumer will be contacted for an initial intake to determine the appropriates of psychiatric rehabilitation services. Once the intake is complete, an initial treatment plan will be completed with the consumer, who will then begin receiving program services.

Aides typically see consumers twice a week, or a minimum of six times a month. 

PRP Aides will meet with consumers anywhere from fifteen minutes to two hours, depending on the goal being addressed. During each visit, the consumer is expected to work towards one or more of the goals set forth in the rehabilitation plan, which is developed at the onset of PRP services.
