Sheppard Pratt facility unfair to Ruxton — or any other neighborhood
Regarding the proposed mental health rehab facility in Ruxton, I am against bringing a halfway house into any established residential neighborhood in Baltimore County. Placing mentally unstable, temporary residents in the Retreat at Ruxton isn't helping...Tags: Homes, Health, Real Estate, Hospitals and Clinics

Sun mischaracterizes Ruxton rehab house issue
The Sun once again pulls out all the stops from its lofty editorial perch to totally mischaracterize issues with Sheppard Pratt locating a half-way house in Ruxton ("Discrimination in Ruxton," April 25). In the process, it also fails to address the very...Tags: Drugs and Medicines, Homes, Health, Maryland, Dog (animal)

Discrimination in Ruxton
Community meetings don't usually attract the disinterested or curious. The average person has a busy enough schedule, so such events tend to be packed with vocal opponents of whatever is being proposed.
At least that's the kindest explanation available...Tags: Bipolar Disorder, Crime, Law and Justice, Facebook, Randallstown, Social Issues

A teachable moment in Ruxton
![Sheppard Pratt's announcement of plans to purchase a residence in Ruxton, near our flagship campus in Towson, has provoked an uproar from a segment of homeowners in this neighborhood. The residence, which will be licensed as a group home, is designed as a transitional living setting for adults who have been treated on a voluntary basis for one to two months at Sheppard Pratt's main facility for conditions such as serious depression and severe anxiety. The "not in my backyard" response from some community members reflects misconceptions and fears about mental illness and its treatments.](http://www.baltimoresun.com/media/thumbnails/story/2011-04/61159804-26110219-187105.JPG "Sheppard Pratt's announcement of plans to purchase a residence in Ruxton, near our flagship campus in Towson, has provoked an uproar from a segment of homeowners in this neighborhood.

The folly of Sheppard Pratt's designs in Ruxton
As a resident of Ruxton, I would gladly support Sheppard Pratt in having a residential rehabilitation group home for affluent clients with mental health issues in my neighborhood ("Discrimination in Ruxton," April 25). What is at issue is the site...Tags: Homes, Health, Juvenile Delinquency, Crime, Law and Justice, Rentals

Ruxton opposes commercial use, not mental health treatment
While I am disappointed in Monday's Baltimore Sun Editorial "Discrimination in Ruxton" (April 25) I am not surprised. How easy for The Sun's editorial board to paint Ruxton residents as "hysterical, intolerant, delusional, arrogant and shameful."...Tags: Homes, Health, Mental Health, Behavioral Conditions, Hospitals and Clinics

Sheppard Pratt's Ruxton plan shows fault of federal law
The editorial about Sheppard Pratt's plans to put a rehab home in Ruxton shows The Sun doesn't get it ("Discrimination in Ruxton," April 25). This is not about mental health at all. It is about a greedy corporate giant imposing it's will on a community...Tags: Barbara A. Mikulski, Health, Roland Park, Chicago Housing Authority, Hospitals and Clinics

Ruxton is not 'intolerant'
Your editorial regarding Sheppard Pratt's planned rehab facility in Ruxton is off-base in many ways but two points especially should be made clear ("Discrimination in Ruxton," April 25): First, the main issue surrounding the proposed facility is money,...Tags: Homes, Minority Groups

Sheppard Pratt 'retreat' should be subject to commercial zoning laws
In the past few weeks The Baltimore Sun has published several articles in which the neighbors of a proposed Sheppard Pratt facility known as "The Retreat" have been much maligned for their opposition. The Board of the Ruxton-Riderwood-Lake Roland Area...Tags: Health, Contracts, Hospitals and Clinics, Real Estate

No retreat in Ruxton
![Sheppard Pratt's recent surprise announcement to put what the hospital calls an "opulent" treatment center for "affluent" individuals with substance abuse and mental health concerns in a dense lane of modest homes in Ruxton has been a disaster. Sheppard Pratt's "outreach" has failed completely to match the sense of community that the giant hospital has received from its neighbors over the last several decades. It is impossible to greet the news of the hospital's "Retreat Center" expansion into our residential neighborhood as anything but shocking. The news was delivered to us in the presence of armed security officers and chilling legal notices from lawyers explaining that our opposition to their plan could land us in front of a federal prosecutor. There has been no attempt at a real dialogue with the community.](http://www.baltimoresun.com/media/thumbnails/story/2011-04/61253251-29124236-187105.jpg "Sheppard Pratt's recent surprise announcement to put what the hospital calls an "opulent\" treatment center for \"affluent\" individuals with substance abuse and mental health concerns in a dense lane of modest homes in Ruxton has been a disaster.

Realtors are bound by the law, ethics in Ruxton and elsewhere

Sheppard Pratt's teachable moment in Ruxton
The situation in Ruxton is full of complexities ("Discrimination in Ruxton," April 25). If representatives of Sheppard Pratt Health System are to be believed, Ruxton residents are a bunch of elitist snobs with no moral standing. In reality, the personal...Tags: Religious Education, Lawyers, Health, Parochial Schools, Crime, Law and Justice
