Archway Station

What Archway Station does

Archway Station, Inc. is a private 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation providing psychiatric rehabilitation and behavioral health services in Allegany and Garrett Counties in Western Maryland. Founded in 1979 and incorporated on April 4, 1980, the organization was modeled after the Fountain House program in New York City and operates on a person-centered planning philosophy that emphasizes understanding the individual and supporting independent decision-making in recovery. The organization employs approximately 175 people (85% full-time, 15% part-time) and serves three primary populations: adults recovering from serious mental illness and substance use disorders, adults with developmental disabilities, and children, adolescents, and young adults ages 3 through 18+ with emotional and behavioral challenges.

Archway operates eight distinct service lines: Community-Based Support Services (CBSS), a Residential Rehabilitation Program with 12 beds in a 24-hour supervised facility and 18 beds across four community houses, a Wellness & Recovery Center at 121 Memorial Avenue, Child, Adolescent & Young Adult Services (CAYA), DDA Services comprising eight Alternative Living Units across three locations, the Health Home care coordination program launched in 2019, Assertive Community Treatment (ACT), and the Compass Center for crisis stabilization and respite. Clinical and case management operations are supported by PUPS (Providing U Practical Solutions), a custom Electronic Health Records system built in partnership with Willetts Tech and launched in September 2019. The organization holds CARF accreditation (3-year certifications in 2017 and 2020) and owns a portfolio of 10 residential properties plus the 45 Queen Street headquarters purchased in December 2015.

The business model is managed-services nonprofit, with revenue derived almost entirely from Maryland Medicaid, the Maryland State Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, and related state funding streams, supplemented by philanthropic grants (notably a $175,000 Weinberg Foundation grant in 2019) and donations. All services are accessed exclusively through referrals from licensed mental health professionals and routed via the Core Service Agency, leaving Archway with no direct customer acquisition or private-pay channel. Leadership comprises Executive Director Jim Raley (hired April 22, 2019), Fiscal Director Charity Francis, BHA Program Director Stephanie Moore, and DDA Program Director Judy Hamilton, alongside a deep bench of program managers and team leaders across all eight service lines.
