At Lighthouse Behavioral Health Center, we are committed to providing comprehensive, person-centered care that supports the holistic needs of each individual we serve.
Please note: Lighthouse Behavioral Health Center does not directly provide housing of any kind unless it is licensed residential treatment program. However, we refer and coordinate housing-related needs when expressed by participating clients to both affiliated and non-affiliated service providers throughout the Baltimore area, including the organizations listed in this document.
We recognize that no single program can address all the needs a client may experience during their recovery journey. Therefore, if a participating client expresses a need for services beyond our scope—such as specialized medical care, housing assistance, or social support—we will make every reasonable effort to refer the individual to a qualified external provider or community-based resource.
Referral Categories Include (but are not limited to):
Our goal is to promote continuity of care and support each client’s progress toward wellness, stability, and independence. Freedom Healthcare collaborates with a trusted network of providers and maintains an updated list of community resources.
Homelessness and Recovery
We recognize that housing instability is a critical barrier to health and recovery. Research shows that stable housing improves mental health outcomes, increases treatment adherence, and reduces hospitalizations.
“Without stable housing, people with mental illness or substance use disorders often cycle through hospitals, jails, and emergency rooms.”
— National Alliance to End Homelessness, 2023
“Permanent supportive housing is associated with reductions in psychiatric symptoms and improved treatment adherence.”
— Padgett et al., Oxford University Press, 2016
“Housing is a form of healthcare.”
— Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), 2020
