Innovative Program Helps Veterans
The Maryland Center for Veterans Education and Trainingoffers programs aimed at getting veterans back on their feet and into the mainstream sober, drug-free and self-sufficient. Military service provides the common thread behind the program. All participants are veterans, as well as 75 percent of the staff. The Department of Veterans Affairs provides medical services and psychological counseling critical in overcoming drug and alcohol addiction or post-traumatic stress disorder or other psychological difficulties. The Department of Housing and Urban Development provides housing assistance to the veterans, many of them homeless when they enter the program. In addition the Department of Labor funds the program's job training. For more information, visit the Maryland Center for Veterans Education and Training website
