About VA Maryland Health Care System – Baltimore VA Annex
The VA Maryland Health Care System Baltimore VA Annex is a CARF accredited outpatient clinic in downtown Baltimore providing behavioral health and support services to Veterans.
Their approach blends clinical care with practical stabilization meeting Veterans where they are with compassionate wraparound support tailored to military connected experiences.
The Annex offers mental health care and PTSD treatment, military sexual trauma counseling, and substance use referrals. I noted they have a strong focus on homeless Veterans and those at risk of homelessness.
Veteran Centered Addiction Support
The Annex provides outpatient mental health consultation and treatment for Veterans facing addiction, depression and anxiety, trauma and PTSD, bipolar disorder, and related concerns.
Substance use treatment referrals are coordinated through the on-site Community Resource and Referral Center (CRRC), connecting Veterans to the right level of care. Sessions include counseling, psychiatric care, and I found they offer same day help when needed.
PTSD services feature trauma focused assessment and evidence based therapy, medication management, and group support designed to address the root causes of distress alongside everyday symptoms.
Housing Stabilization Through the CRRC
The CRRC integrates addiction support with housing placement, case management, and urgent triage for Veterans experiencing homelessness.
On-site basic needs services such as meals and showers, laundry, clothing, and computer access help Veterans stabilize while engaging in care creating a practical foundation for lasting recovery.
