Psychiatric Rehabilitation Program (PRP) in Hollywood, MD

If you or a loved one is managing a mental health condition and needs support with daily living, HelpStar Behavioral Health offers a Medicaid-funded Psychiatric Rehabilitation Program (PRP) right here in Hollywood, MD. Our PRP helps adults and youth in St. Mary's County build the practical skills — from managing symptoms to holding down a job — needed to live independently and stay stable in the community. Sessions are available at our Hollywood office and through virtual visits for those across Southern Maryland.

What Is a Psychiatric Rehabilitation Program?

A Psychiatric Rehabilitation Program (PRP) is a Maryland Medicaid-covered service designed for individuals with a diagnosed mental health condition who need structured, ongoing support to manage daily life. Unlike traditional therapy, PRP focuses on hands-on, practical skill-building — helping clients function better at home, at work, and in their community.

At HelpStar, our PRP is built around each person's individual goals, delivered through one-on-one and group sessions with a dedicated care team based in Hollywood, MD.

Who This Program Is For

• Adults and adolescents with a qualifying mental health diagnosis (referred by a licensed provider)
• Individuals who need support beyond weekly therapy — help with daily routines, relationships, or independent living
• People recovering from a mental health crisis or hospitalization who need a structured step back into community life
• Maryland Medicaid recipients in Hollywood, Wildewood, California, Leonardtown, and surrounding St. Mary's County communities

Our Hollywood-based PRP team supports clients across the following areas:

• Life Skills Training — everyday tasks like budgeting, cooking, hygiene, and household management
  
  
• Independent Living Skills — building the confidence and routine to live on your own
  
  
• Social Skills Development — communication and relationship-building in real-world settings
  
  
• Community Integration — reconnecting with community resources, activities, and support networks
  
  
• Vocational Rehabilitation — preparing for and maintaining employment (see our dedicated Supported Employment Program for job placement support)
  
  
• Educational Support — assistance navigating school or continuing education goals
  
  
• Behavioral Skills Training — practical strategies for managing day-to-day behavioral challenges
  
  
• Recovery Planning — a personalized roadmap built around your goals
  
  
• Family Support & Education — helping families understand and support the recovery process

For clients who need focused, deeper support in a specific area, we also offer dedicated programs — see Medication Management Support, Symptom Management, Coping Skills Training, Anger Management, Stress Management, and Relapse Prevention — all available at our Hollywood, MD location.
