Potomac Ridge Behavioral Health
at the Eastern Shore

Potomac Ridge Behavioral Health at the Eastern Shore is the region’s only acute care and residential mental health resource for children and adolescents.

Now under the new management of Potomac Ridge Behavioral Health, the Center has begun a massive overhaul to the facility’s leadership team, clinical practices, cultural orientation, and have also made a series of physical improvements to the facility to improve patient safety and security.

As with all other Potomac Ridge Behavioral Health facilities, Eastern Shore is free of mechanical restraints. and employees are being trained in the MANDT System. The MANDT System is an evidence-based approach that focuses on relationship building and treating others with dignity and respect in order to correct difficult behavior in youth without the use of restraint.

In April 2007, Potomac Ridge Behavioral Health at the Eastern Shore will open a one-of-a-kind program in the state of Maryland for low-functioning adolescents with IQs between 50 and 70.  Currently, no specialty programs exist in the state to address the special clinical and therapeutic needs of this population.

Please stay tuned to this website as we will soon be adding aditional information on our facility and the services we provide.
