MOCO's Mental Health And Addiction Services Move To Former Grey Courthouse In Rockville

ROCKVILLE, MD — Residents looking for county-run mental health and addiction services can now find them at 27 Courthouse Square, the site of the old Grey Courthouse which was renovated and is now home to a variety of county services.

ACCESS to Behavioral Health Services — often known just as "ACCESS" — can help low-income uninsured residents and residents on Medicaid to get consultations, assessments, some brief case management and transitional psychiatry services, the county said.

People who go to ACCESS can get referrals and learn more about mental health resources in the county that can work for them. It was previously located within the Department of Health and Human Services office on the Rockville Pike.

“The ACCESS program is one of the best kept secrets in the community,” said Rolando Santiago, chief of DHHS’ Behavioral Health and Crisis Services. We want to be sure that every resident, regardless of their health insurance coverage, can find quality mental health care when needed.

The program is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. for walk-ins and appointments. Anyone will questions about the program can call 240-777-1770 or email them at Accesstobehavioralhealth@montgomerycountymd.gov.
