Beginning Monday, Oct. 9, Grassroots Crisis Intervention will operate its expanded 24-hour crisis intervention, mental health, substance use disorder, housing support and suicide prevention services at a new location, 8990 Old Annapolis Road, Suite A, in Columbia.

This expansion will help Grassroots meet the increased demand for urgent and ongoing mental health and substance use disorder services in Howard County. Individuals will be able to access enhanced free, 24-hour walk-in crisis stabilization and related services, counseling, homeless services, resources and more.

Additionally, the new location will allow Grassroots to provide, 24-7 urgent care, outpatient substance use disorder services, and full mental health counseling and medication management to adults, adolescents and children via an Outpatient Mental Health Clinic (OMHC).

While the Grassroots Emergency Shelter will remain at its current location at 6700 Freetown Road in Columbia, crisis walk-in services for people anticipating or experiencing homelessness will be conducted at the new facility on Old Annapolis Road to help determine housing options and access various resources.

Individuals are urged to call Grassroots’ free 24-hour crisis line at 410-531-6677 if they need support.
