Maryland Center for Veterans Education and Training (MCVET)

Close to Baltimore’s Inner Harbor, this center offers emergency, transitional, and long-term housing for veterans facing challenges like substance use disorder (SUD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and homelessness. Accessible by public transit and surrounded by walkable blocks, it's a welcoming place where veterans can focus on healing.
Each resident receives personalized case management and a suite of therapies like relapse prevention, group sessions, and crisis counseling. For veterans not living on-site, outpatient and day treatment programs offer structured support while allowing independence. These services help veterans manage trauma, rebuild self-trust, and move forward emotionally, with care that adapts to each person's journey.
Residents can explore paths in IT, culinary arts, or peer recovery support. The center also connects veterans with vision care, access to public benefits, and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) employment and training services, giving them tools to regain stability and pursue meaningful goals as reminders that life can still feel full and possible.

Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year.
