What PRP services in Prince George's County look like

Therapy helps you understand what you are going through. A psychiatric rehabilitation program helps you practice living well with it, day by day. Our PRP services in Prince George's County pair you or your child with a rehabilitation specialist who meets you where life actually happens: at home, at school, at the grocery store, or at a benefits office. Together you set goals that matter to you, like keeping a schedule, managing money, getting along with family, or getting back to work.

PRP is offered one-on-one and in small groups, out in the community and on-site at our Lanham and Wheaton offices. We also serve families near our Wheaton office in Montgomery County, along with neighborhoods like New Carrollton, Landover, Hyattsville, Bowie and Greenbelt. Bilingual staff are available, so Spanish-speaking participants and families can work in the language that feels most natural. Sessions are scheduled around school, work and other appointments whenever possible.

PRP is not a replacement for therapy. It works alongside your therapist and psychiatrist to turn treatment goals into daily habits.

Adult and child PRP: what we work on

Adult and youth programs share the same goal, more independence and fewer crises, but the day-to-day focus is different. Adults tend to work on independent living and stability. Children work on the social and emotional skills that help them succeed at home and in the classroom. Your plan is built around your own goals, written in plain language, and reviewed regularly so it changes as you grow.

Adult PRP focus areas

  • Restorative independent living skills and rehabilitative interventions
  • Daily living skills: organization, time management, nutrition and budgeting
  • Employment support and preparing for work
  • Help obtaining housing and entitlements, plus benefits coordination
  • Interpersonal and communication skills
  • Maintaining recovery and relapse prevention
  • Community integration and building a support network

PRP for children in Maryland

Our PRP for children in Maryland serves kids and teens ages 6 to 17 who are in active outpatient therapy. A child's rehabilitation specialist helps them practice the skills their therapist is teaching, in real situations with real people. That might mean rehearsing how to calm down before a test, how to handle a disagreement with a sibling, or how to join a game at recess. We keep parents and caregivers in the loop so progress carries over at home, and we coordinate with the child's therapist so everyone is working toward the same goals.

Child PRP focus areas

  • Social skills and making friends
  • Coping skills for big feelings
  • Conflict resolution
  • Anger management
  • Impulse management

Who is eligible for our psychiatric rehabilitation program in Maryland

Our psychiatric rehabilitation program serves adults in Maryland's priority population, meaning adults with a qualifying serious mental illness diagnosis and real difficulty with day-to-day functioning because of it. We also serve children and teens ages 6 to 17, who must remain in active outpatient therapy while they receive PRP. We accept Maryland Medicaid, and our team handles the authorization process. Without Medicaid, self-pay is available on a per-service sliding scale.

PRP generally can't be provided at the same time as some other intensive services, such as mobile treatment, certain case management services, or intensive outpatient and partial hospitalization programs. If you or your loved one is already receiving one of those, tell us when you call. We'll help you understand which service fits best right now and how a step down to PRP might work later.

How a PRP referral works

In Maryland, PRP requires a referral from a licensed mental health professional who is actively treating the person, such as their own therapist, psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner. That clinician must not be affiliated with the PRP program, and the referral should be recent. In other words, the referral comes from your outside treatment provider, not from our PRP staff. Your provider can complete our secure PRP referral form online.

If you or your child isn't currently seeing a therapist or psychiatrist, that's the first step. Call us at 301-731-1222 and we'll explain what's needed. Once a referral arrives, our team reviews it, confirms eligibility and authorization, and schedules an intake. Our staff then coordinate closely with each participant's psychiatrist, therapist, doctor and social worker so care stays connected.

For referring clinicians

Thank you for thinking of us for your client. To refer, please complete the online PRP referral form. Under Maryland Public Behavioral Health System guidance, the referring clinician should be a licensed mental health professional who is actively treating the individual, is not affiliated with our PRP, and is enrolled in Maryland Medicaid. Since January 2026, PRP claims must include the referring practitioner's individual NPI, so please include it on the form.

For adults, please document the qualifying diagnosis and the functional impairments PRP will address. For minors, please confirm the child is in active outpatient therapy and will continue. We welcome ongoing collaboration and will keep you updated on goals and progress, with the client's written consent. Questions about a referral can go to our Lanham office at 301-731-1222.
