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.

Amenities

Art Therapy

Art and music are mediums that connect with our feelings, making them a great recovery tool during addiction t...reatment. Studies show that combining art/music and drug rehab can have a greater therapeutic impact than drug rehab alone, as you’re able to access parts of your brain and body that you may not have access to during traditional talk therapy. Benefits of art/music therapy include lowering stress and anxiety, promoting healthy neurochemicals, and providing stress relief.

Day School

Addiction treatment programs provide an opportunity to get your life back on track with access to school class...es or college courses. Whether you want to finish your GED or go back to school to learn a new trade, facilities often enlist tutors and teachers who are certified or licensed by the state to oversee self-study or distance-learning education.

Adventure Therapy

Hiking is a great way to relieve stress, get perspective, navigate challenges, connect with nature, and improv...e your health - all essential components of sustaining long-term recovery. Studies also show that the body releases endorphins during physical activities like hiking. These endorphins improve mood and act as a natural pain reliever.

Metropolitan Area

Addiction treatment in the metro area benefits clients by offering seamless connections from the city, around ...the state, and those seeking out-of-state treatment. Another benefit of attending a metro area drug rehab is that you’re close to major airports and ground transportation services.

Music Room

Music can be extremely therapeutic, serving as a valuable healing tool and an integrative feature of a holisti...c treatment plan. A music room offers a large number of outlets, including singing, playing musical instruments, and listening to music.

Rec Room & Activities

Recreational therapy uniquely combines therapeutic interventions with an activity, like horse-riding, hiking, ...wilderness therapy, basketball, tennis, or a full workout. Benefits of recreational therapy include providing a healthy way to work through the emotions of recovery, learning to build and maintain relationships, improving communication skills, and building self-esteem.
