The Potomac Ridge Cottage at Annapolis

The Potomac Ridge Cottage at Annapolis offers troubled adolescents a caring, supportive living environment in which they can address their psychological treatment issues while reintegrating into the community. The 16-bed male unit offers a behavioral level system for residents to earn their privileges and assume higher levels of responsibility commensurate with their developmental progress. The completion of weekly goals is another component of the program that leads to discharge to a less intensive level of care.

Each resident is assigned a primary counselor who advocates for the adolescent and informs other members of the treatment team of important information regarding the individual’s progress. Adolescents in the therapeutic group home setting attend local community schools and when appropriate, they are also encouraged to apply for and hold after-school jobs in the community. Discharge planning begins at admission with particular attention paid to the individual's current and projected level of functioning, support system and other concerns.
