Clinical Program

The Baltimore Station provides comprehensive residential treatment, transitional housing and supportive services for veterans experiencing homelessness. Our programs include transitional housing, evidence-based clinical treatment, substance use recovery, mental health support, case management, workforce development, financial literacy, and housing placement services. Our goal is to help veterans achieve lasting recovery, stable housing, meaningful employment, and long-term independence.

Our Clinical Program serves adult veterans experiencing homelessness who are seeking recovery from substance use disorders and are committed to participating in a structured therapeutic community. Each referral is reviewed individually to determine eligibility and ensure the program is the right fit for the veteran’s needs.

At this time, The Baltimore Station serves male veterans experiencing homelessness. However, we are excited to expand our services by opening our new Women’s Transitional Housing Program on October 1st 2026. This program will provide safe, supportive housing for women veterans experiencing homelessness, with private bedrooms and bathrooms, shared living spaces, and access to the same comprehensive clinical, recovery, and workforce development services that have helped our male veterans rebuild their lives for more than 37 years.

Our programs are designed to address the unique challenges veterans face while helping them build a foundation for long-term success.

Every veteran’s journey is different. While the average stay in our Clinical Program is typically 13 months, participants may remain in the program for up to two years based on their individual treatment plan and progress. Research and our own experience show that longer participation often leads to better long-term outcomes and reduces the likelihood of returning to homelessness.

The Baltimore Station uses evidence-based therapeutic approaches tailored to each veteran’s individual needs. Clinical services include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), individual treatment planning, individual and group therapy, case management, and experiential therapeutic activities that support lasting recovery.

Upon entry to our program, each veteran works with our clinical team to develop a transition plan focused on maintaining recovery, securing permanent housing, sustaining employment or income, and connecting with ongoing community resources. This individualized plan is continuously reviewed throughout the veteran’s stay in our program, and once the veteran and their case manager agree that the veteran has met all his goals and objectives, the transition plan is implemented. Our goal is for every veteran to leave The Baltimore Station prepared for long-term independence.
