Rosewood Center originally was established as
the Asylum and Training School for the Feeble
Minded of the State of Maryland (Chapter 183,
Acts of 1888). The Asylum and Training School
admitted its first children in 1889. From 1912 to
1961 it was known as Rosewood State Training
School. Chapter 89, Acts of 1961, designated
Rosewood as a State Hospital, and with the
consolidation of the departments of Health and
Mental Hygiene in 1969 it was assigned its present
name. The Center provides for the care, education,
training, and habilitation of mentally retarded
children from all parts of the State. Rosewood is
licensed for 1,250 residents (Code Health-General
Article, sec. 7-305).

Baltimore 21201 Telephone: 383-3959

The Drug Abuse Administration, created by
Chapter 29, Acts of 1971, succeeded the Drug
Abuse Authority, established by Chapter 404, Acts
of 1969. The Director of the Administration is
appointed by the Secretary of Health and Mental
Hygiene.

The Administration engages in a planning pro-
cess that identifies needs, policies, and strategies
aimed at the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment
of drug abuse in the State. The Administration
funds projects based on need, and encourages
initiatives toward unique programming for the
prevention of drug abuse or the treatment of
chemical substance abuse. This grant-in-aid pro-
gram emphasizes many kinds of public or private
non-profit projects. Current strategies coordinate
Administration efforts with those of local health
departments and Health Systems Agencies to meet
local needs. The Administration also maintains
treatment and rehabilitation facilities in local com-
munities.

The Administration monitors all drug abuse
treatment programs in the State and certifies these
programs annually. No drug abuse treatment or
prevention program, either public or private, can
operate within Maryland without certification by
the Administration.

The Administration cooperates with the Depart-
ment's Office of Education and Training for Ad-
diction Services to assure competent program
personnel and adequate information dissemination.
Annually, the Administration publishes a compre-
hensive plan for drug abuse treatment and preven-
tion (Code Health-General Article, Title 9).
