The Walter P. Carter Community Mental
Health and Retardation Center began offering
community mental health services to Baltimore
City residents in 1967. These services now include
inpatient and outpatient care, partial hospitaliza-
tion, and emergency services. The Mental Health
Unit is administered by the Mental Hygiene Ad-
ministration.

The Center also maintains three units at other
sites that provide treatment for adults, adoles-
cents, and children: Carruthers Clinic, Marley
Street Clinic, and Cherry Hill Clinic. Psychiatric
emergency service is available to area residents
twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Con-
sultation and education services are provided to
various community agencies.

The Mental Retardation Unit at the Carter
Center offers an intensive behavior management
program for clients with special behavior
problems. The program seeks to eliminate the
need for returning developmentally disabled per-
sons to institutional care. The Unit, overseen by
the Developmental Disabilities Administration, al-
so provides diagnosis and evaluation services
(Code Health—General Article, sec. 10-406).
