Potomac Ridge Behavioral Health System at Anne Arundel

Potomac Ridge Behavioral Health System at Anne Arundel has provided mental health services for adolescents since 2002. Located in Crownsville, Md., outside of Annapolis, Potomac Ridge at Anne Arundel offers 28 adolescent residential treatment beds, a group home for 16 adolescent males, and a special and general education school for adolescents with emotional and behavioral disabilities. These three programs are located on the grounds of the former Crownsville Hospital Center.

The 28-bed residential treatment center (RTC) is one of the most clinically unique programs in Maryland. It is considered a high security, high level of intensity RTC. By employing research-based best practices for this cognitively impaired population, the Anne Arundel staff delivers tremendous outcomes for the residents.

The 16-bed group home for adolescent males provides treatment in a small, age-appropriate family style setting. The group home serves adolescents who do not require the acute services of inpatient hospitalization or residential treatment center

The Ridge School of Anne Arundel County offers programs for students grades eight - 12 in a highly-structured setting that enables and encourages multi-sensory learning. The Ridge School is designed to provide education for even the most challenging youth utilizing a positive behavioral approach and philosophy.
