Baltimore’s Top Humanitarian Services for Mental Health & Addiction Recovery

The modern world defines growth, prosperity, and success on the basis of material possessions. Leading a life of comfort and luxury is highly desirable. Our self-worth is often evaluated on the basis of what we have achieved or have the potential to do. We are always encouraged to have a competitive edge over others and stay ahead in the race. Gradually we are losing our core human values of cooperation and helping others in need.

We are highly aware of our physical well-being, spend time and money in huge proportions on medical bills, things we consume, hit the gym regularly to stay fit and so on and so forth. What stays ignored is our mental and psychological health until it reaches a point when it starts behaving highly malicious. We barely realize that mental health is equally important, if not more, at every stage of our life, as it directly affects emotional, psychological and social well-being. Our thoughts, feelings and how we behave and react to various situations are all influenced by our mental health.

Mental health issues can be caused by a variety of reasons. Any biological or genetic history, or a traumatic or abusive experience in life, can explain our behavior, mood swings, and thought process while we socialize or make decisions. Baltimore Humanitarian Service takes a few steps forward towards raising awareness of the importance of mental health disorders and helping those in need of them.

Psychiatric Rehabilitation Programs often referred to as PRP, is a specialized service provided by Baltimore Humanitarian Service where mental health patients are taken cared of on a continuous basis until they gradually recover and get back to their normal lives among the mainstream. PRP helps in life skills like accessing community resources, paying bills, searching for jobs, personal care, health and nutrition, awareness on medication, relapse prevention, communication skills, self-esteem building, field trips and other fun activities, and also developing vocational and technical skills.
In today’s world, the menace of drug addiction has risen to alarming proportions. These rehabilitation programs also help in addiction recovery of patients having a history of drug abuse. The addiction recovery programs are conducted to refine life of addiction victims who have lost their self-control and cannot get over the urge of taking drugs. These programs encourage patients to gradually get rid of addiction and lead a stress-free and peaceful life. Patients are helped to perceive their true potential, cope up with stressful situations and build confidence within to be more dynamic and energetic at work and contribute effectively.

Baltimore Humanitarian Service also offers housing, food, and transportation as a voluntary service to those in need. Patients participating in the housing program are encouraged to be actively engaged in mental health and addiction recovery programs.

Deteriorating in life is inevitable but with the help of such programs and services, the broken pieces could easily be mended. Accredited by the Joint Commission for Accreditation of HealthCare Organization, Baltimore Humanitarian Service aims to create a future where people can breathe in a satisfied and fulfilling life, conquering all odds and move ahead.
