About Baltimore City Juvenile Justice Center
The Baltimore City Juvenile Detention Center delivers addiction and behavioral health care in Baltimore, Maryland. This government program is designed specifically for youths involved in the juvenile justice system.
This is a court ordered residential treatment program. They also offer a number of community services aimed at prevention and education. Care follows the comprehensive treatment model with a focus on identifying and utilizing a client's strengths in recovery.
Targeting All Areas of Your Health
Juvenile justice programs like this are often more intensive than private programs because they're designed for high risk clients. Individuals are closely monitored and follow a structured schedule of activities each day.
The higher intensity of the residential program brings a closer look at your health. During your stay, you'll have access to multiple health and medical programs in addition to your treatment. I like this because it allows those in detention to make the most of their time by addressing any other health concerns they may have.
Addressing Addiction by Addressing Trauma
This program uses what's called trauma responsive care. This approach takes a close look at your experienced traumas and how they may affect addictive behaviors. I think it's a powerful tool because it also considers what methods will work best considering those same traumas.
Traumatic experiences are one factor that make "one size fits all" solutions to addiction impractical. Using trauma responsive care is one way to deliver truly unique and personalized care that matches your needs.
Staying on Track with Education Needs
A common concern with youth treatment programs is that clients risk falling behind in their classes and may struggle to catch up when they return to their communities.
The Baltimore City Juvenile Detention Center addresses this by having clients attend school five days a week, every week. I think it's nice because it helps them keep on track with education goals and adds vital structure to the treatment and recovery process. School is scheduled around other aspects of the program, giving clients another way to demonstrate they can balance their responsibilities.
