Expansion of Mental Health Services in Maryland

Advanced Behavioral Health, Inc. (ABH) is proud to announce the upcoming opening of a new facility in Hagerstown, located within Washington County, Maryland. As a renowned provider of family-centered mental health services, ABH is committed to enhancing its geographic presence for those in need. This new location marks an essential step in their mission to deliver comprehensive mental health care to a larger audience.

The new office will be situated at 365 Mill Street, in an accessible part of Hagerstown. This expansion comes in response to the growing demand for quality mental health services in the area. Currently, ABH operates five successful locations across various Maryland counties, including Baltimore, Carroll, Frederick, Montgomery, and Prince George's.

A Comprehensive Approach to Mental Health

ABH is distinguished by its wraparound approach to psychiatric treatment, which aligns with the values of family involvement and holistic care. The organization specializes in a range of services, including psychiatry, off-site counseling, on-site therapy, and therapeutic mentoring. Their commitment extends beyond traditional treatment, providing additional programs tailored to meet the specific needs of different communities. For instance, specialized mobile crisis services in Baltimore, targeted case management in Montgomery, school therapy initiatives in Prince George's County, and the STARS (Stand Tall and Remain in School) program in Frederick and Carroll counties; all reflect their dedication to mental health care.

Dr. Vera Kurdian, the CEO of Advanced Behavioral Health, expressed her enthusiasm about the new facility and the staff's dedication to mental health. “We couldn't be more pleased to be opening this new location,” she stated. “We are proud of our staff who made this expansion possible. When leaders prioritize staff well-being and inspire them to do great work, the magic of growth takes over.” Her words reflect a deep appreciation for the team's hard work that has manifested in this exciting new chapter for ABH.

Focus on Community Health

ABH’s approach emphasizes collaboration, teamwork, and community support—essential tenets in effective mental health care. By establishing a new location in Hagerstown, ABH aims to foster strong relationships within the community, bridging gaps and ensuring that individuals and families can access the mental health services necessary for their well-being.

The organization aims to inspire change not just through treatment but by igniting a community-wide approach to mental health awareness and support. “[...] caring for families and strengthening communities,” Dr. Kurdian noted, illustrating the organization's commitment to not merely providing care, but also enriching the wider community.

Looking Ahead

As Advanced Behavioral Health prepares for the launch of its Hagerstown location, they remain steadfast in their commitment to service excellence. The organization recognizes the unique challenges people face in accessing mental health resources, particularly during difficult times. With a more substantial presence, they hope to make a lasting impact on mental health in Washington County, ensuring that care is available where it is needed most.
