A New Dawn for Behavorial Health in Prince William Couny
Prince William County is entering the next milestone in transforming our regional behavioral health system.
On Tuesday, October 28, at 1 p.m., Connections Health Solutions launched Phase One operations at the Crisis Receiving Center, or CRC, located at the Worth Avenue complex.
What This Means:
Connections Health Solutions will begin accepting referrals from Community Services Boards and hospitals for the adult 23-Hour Observation and Crisis Stabilization Units, meaning law enforcement can bring adults experiencing a behavioral health crisis to the first responder entrance at the CRC under both voluntary and involuntary status.
The public entrance is not yet open for walk-in services.
Community Services programs co-located at the CRC including Access, Emergency Services, Trauma Treatment, Medication Assisted Treatment, Peer Support, Recovery Support Services, Program for Assertive Community Treatment, Housing and New Horizons Youth Programs are completing final readiness work to ensure a seamless transition as additional phases come online.
Launching in phases follows behavioral health best practices, emphasizing safety, coordination and quality. Phase One allows partners—first responders, hospitals and care providers—to align systems and workflows before expanding full public access.
Residents should continue using existing behavioral health access points:
Emergency Services: 703-792-7800
Access Program Walk-Ins: Monday–Thursday, Sudley North, 12:30–3 p.m.
This milestone marks significant progress toward a fully realized Crisis Receiving Center Complex—a connected system designed to deliver timely, compassionate care and strengthen community well-being across Prince William County.
The Crisis Receiving Center project is completed. The center is fully operational.
