Residential Rehabilitation Programs (RRPs) in Baltimore City

Description of RRP

Residential Rehabilitation Programs are designed to assist those who have a serious mental illness and are in need of psychiatric rehabilitation in a supervised residential setting (assistance with Activities of Daily Living, community integration, medication monitoring, etc.) There two types of levels available:

General Support- Staff are available on-call 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, and provide at a minimum one face to face contact per individual, per week.

Intensive Support- Staff provide services daily on site in the residence with a minimum of 40 hours per week up to 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.

The housing provided is furnished and supervised by staff. All residents are expected to contribute to the cost of their care. Money for food and personal needs is allotted. Typically, the households are comprised of 2 or more residents. Residents have rights and responsibilities, and each program has their own unique variances to the rules that need to be followed. The residents are responsible for housekeeping. A productive daytime activity is required for residing in RRP. The goal of residential rehabilitation is to work towards independent living.

I have read the description of Residential Rehabilitation above and I understand that:

1. I will be living with others, but have my own room

2. I will be assisted by staff

3. I will be required to follow rules and participate in a day activity or work.

4. I will be required to contribute to the cost of my care.

I wish to apply for the service
