Crisis Services

*Northern Virginia and
Richmond locations only

A mental health crisis can happen to anyone with mental illness, at any time.

 

NCG’s Community Stabilization services, funded by Medicaid Insurance, are intended to be short-term.  The services are designed to support an individual and their natural support system following an initial crisis response service as a transitional step‐down from a higher level of care or as a diversion to a higher level of care.

 

NCG is able to accept referrals for Community Stabilization services 24-hours a day.  For all after-hour referrals, please use the “Request Services” link below.
