Sheppard Pratt Gaithersburg Day Program

Just steps from Baltimore’s Penn Station, this psychiatric center sits in a vibrant, walkable area filled with tree-lined parks, indie theaters, and historic landmarks in Gaithersburg. It serves young adults, adults, and older adults with serious mental health conditions like schizophrenia, depression, and substance use disorders (SUD). Care is community-based and includes both structured day programs and vocational services.
The team follows evidence-based approaches like Individual Placement and Support for employment, and uses therapies such as individual counseling, group sessions, art therapy, and psychoeducation. These methods help clients better understand their condition, manage symptoms, and build healthy, independent lives.
Clients benefit from unique offerings like transitional youth programs and smoking cessation support. The center also provides case management and free housing services through the Housing First model, helping individuals stabilize and rebuild. With transportation support and close proximity to transit, accessing care is simple and convenient for all.
