Mental Health
We want to help you lead the best life possible. Whether you’re struggling to find joy in everyday life or living with a severe and persistent mental illness, we’ve got you covered with our wide range of top-notch services.

Specialty Treatment Dockets
Specialty dockets help individuals with legal charges stemming from mental illness and/or substance use disorders by offering treatment and intensive monitoring instead of detention.

Same Day Access
The decision to seek behavioral healthcare can be difficult. Whenever you’re ready, we’re here to help. Come on in during our Same Day Access hours to receive an assessment without an appointment.

Residential Services
A severe and persistent mental illness can make daily household activities difficult. We are here to help, with a wide array of services ranging from 24-hour supervision to weekly visits.

Permanent Supportive Housing
It’s hard to heal without a home base. So, our Permanent Supportive Housing program uses an evidence-based approach that views housing as the foundation to stability.

The road to recovery can be long and winding. Certified peer support specialists have traveled that path and provide unique insights, empathy, and the ability to inspire hope in others.

We offer onsite mental health services at Rappahannock Regional Jail and Rappahannock Juvenile Detention Center. Our full-time clinicians provide behavioral health services to incarcerated individuals.

The Sunshine Lady House for Mental Health Wellness and Recovery is a welcoming therapeutic residential program that helps men and women find stability in a crisis. This program can help adults avoid hospitalization or transition from inpatient care.

Every child deserves to feel happy and healthy. We believe in a compassionate and supportive approach to mental health, and we’re to help you find the support you need.
