As a leading provider of mental health care, Brook Lane is an essential business and remained open and available to provide much-needed services for individuals in the community throughout the COVID-19 pandemic this past year. We instituted a number of changes in our programs to maintain safety for our clients and staff, while continuing to provide critical mental health and addiction treatment.

Processes were put into place to provide rapid access to outpatient therapy, psychiatric evaluations, addiction counseling, inpatient and day treatment programs–all to alleviate wait times. TeleMental Health appointments are available in both our Frederick and Hagerstown locations.

Our in-person appointments have safety protocols in place, such as temperature checks, COVID-19 symptom questionnaires, wearing facemasks, and social distancing. Our facilities are cleaned and disinfected thoroughly and our employees follow best practices for hand hygiene, temperature checks, as well as self-monitoring for symptoms. We have been doing this for everyone’s protection and to provide the level of care individuals have come to rely on from Brook Lane.

We temporarily restricted visitation to patients in our hospital, to maintain a safe environment. We have posted a series of blog articles on our website to help people cope with the stress and anxiety that the pandemic have created.

Mental health care plays a vital role in a thriving community. Now more than ever, it is important that we are here for you, to help you on your journey to hope, healing and recovery.
