Available to citizens statewide, Virginias public mental health, intellectual disability and substance abuse services system is comprised of 40 locally-run community services boards (CSBs) and 16 state-operated facilities. The CSBs and state facilities serve children and adults who have or who are at risk of mental illness, serious emotional disturbance, intellectual disability, or substance use disorders. Virginias state-run facilities provide highly-structured, intensive services and consist of: seven mental health facilities, five mental retardation training centers, a psychiatric facility for children and adolescents, a medical center, a psychiatric geriatric hospital and a center for behavioral rehabilitation (SVP). For placement in state facilities, patients are initially evaluated and referred from local CSBs.
