State Psychiatric Facilities

MHA currently operates five hospitals that provide acute, intermediate, and long-term care for adults. Springfield Hospital continues to offer inpatient care for individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing. In addition, MHA operates one psychiatric forensic facility and two residential treatment facilities for youth known as Regional Institutes for Children and Adolescents (RICAs). The locations of the six hospitals and the two RICAs are indicated on the following map:

Maryland has configured its state hospital system so that it maintains a small safety net of one hospital unit for adolescents at the Spring Grove Hospital Center. Hospital-level services for children under the age of 12 are available through the private sector, with the state purchasing care as needed.
