This expansion significantly enhances regional mental health infrastructure by providing underserved populations in Washington County with direct access to comprehensive psychiatric care. By prioritizing accessibility and professional staffing, ABH strengthens the local safety net, ensuring that high-quality, evidence-based behavioral health services remain available to diverse community demographics throughout Maryland.
Advanced Behavioral Health, Inc. (ABH) has officially expanded its footprint into Washington County with the opening of a new outpatient facility in Hagerstown. Located at 265 Mill Street, this strategic growth marks the organization’s sixth county location in Maryland, reinforcing its mission to provide accessible, high-quality mental health support directly within the communities it serves. The clinic is now open and actively accepting new patients.
The Hagerstown office offers a comprehensive suite of services, including onsite and school-based therapy, telehealth counseling, and expert psychiatric evaluation with medication management. CEO Vera Kurdian emphasized that this expansion is designed to build collaborative local partnerships while creating meaningful employment opportunities for mental health professionals who value clinical excellence and a supportive, award-winning workplace culture.
Looking ahead, ABH is committed to further strengthening its continuum of care by integrating its Psychiatric Rehabilitation Program (PRP) once state regulatory moratoriums are lifted in 2027. By maintaining a sliding fee scale and accepting Medicaid, the organization continues to break down financial barriers to care, ensuring that Washington County families receive the critical behavioral health support they deserve.
