University of Maryland Medical Center Baltimore Psychiatry

University of Maryland Medical Center Psychiatry is a hospital behavioral health program in downtown Baltimore and part of the academic University of Maryland Medical System.

The program provides inpatient and outpatient psychiatric care for children, adolescents, adults and older adults, including  substance abuse treatment and co-occurring disorder care.

Rooted in an academic medical center the team integrates addiction treatment with emergency, inpatient and consultation-liaison psychiatry to support patients with complex needs.

Addiction and Co-Occurring Disorder Care

The center offers both inpatient and outpatient addiction treatment with substance abuse consultation teams woven into the broader hospital setting.

As the department's primary emergency, inpatient and consultation hub, the site serves adults, young adults, older adults, men, women and LGBTQ clients.

Because addiction often coexists with mental health conditions, treatment here addresses co-occurring disorders alongside substance use.

Patients benefit from medically supported care, day hospital services and access to trauma and mood disorder treatment that targets underlying issues not just symptoms.

Psychiatric Assessment and Referral

The Psychiatric Assessment and Referral Center (PARC) handles inquiries, referrals and admissions around the clock.

This 24/7 access is especially valuable for individuals navigating urgent mental health and substance use concerns connecting them quickly to the right level of care.
