Prince William County’s New Crisis Receiving Center Faces Funding Hurdles Amidst Medicaid Challenges

A former Gander Mountain store at 14011 Worth Avenue in Woodbridge will be used as a mental health crisis center.

Prince William County is developing a new Crisis Receiving Center (CRC), which will provide much-needed mental health and substance abuse services to the community. Set to replace the former Gander Mountain store at 14040 Worth Avenue, the 79,000-square-foot facility is expected to serve as a state model for addressing mental health crises. Still, operational funding hurdles have emerged due to Medicaid restrictions.

The CRC will feature 16 beds—eight for adults and eight for children—for individuals needing urgent mental health care. Patients may arrive independently, be transferred from local hospitals, or be brought in by police. Once at the center, individuals will receive continuous monitoring and care for up to 23 hours a day, typically staying between three and five days as they stabilize and prepare for the next steps in their treatment journey.
