Residential Diagnostic and Treatment Services

Located in Timonium, St. Vincent’s Center provides intensive diagnostic, stabilization and treatment services to children, ages 3 to 13, and their families. The children are typically unable to live in a family setting due to severe emotional and behavioral challenges. Many of the children have experienced profound abuse, neglect and trauma. These children, who come to us from all over the State of Maryland, have often endured numerous moves from one caregiver to another before arriving at St. Vincent’s Center.

We provide a multitude of clinical, medical and family services to the children and families that we serve. Working together with community partners and the child’s family, we ensure that the child’s social, emotional, physical and spiritual needs are met.

St. Vincent’s Center has a total of six residential units, each of which is staffed with a unit supervisor, a master’s level trained therapist, and college-degreed child care staff. All programs and services are designed to meet the child’s specific needs through a warm and home-like atmosphere. We provide:
