TONIGHT: County Govt. Secret Meeting on One and Only Crisis Center to be Built in Rockville. No Agenda, Not on Calendar, No Zoom Link.

Montgomery County Government is in the process of planning for the construction of a crisis center to be located in Rockville, Maryland.  The crisis center is called the RESTORATION CENTER.  The County is constructing exactly ONE Restoration Center for the entire County.  Once built, if you or a loved one experiences a mental health or substance use crisis you or your loved one can be transferred to this facility by first responders from anywhere in the County.   

Damascus, Silver Spring, Cabin John, Aspen Hill, Poolesville, Germantown, Burtonsville, Friendship Heights, Wheaton, Olney and everywhere else in the County. This will be YOUR one and only crisis center.  The time is now to pay attention to what services will be offered at this facility and what options will exist for those transferred to this emergency facility by local hospitals, first responders, county crisis service providers, and the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.

A meeting is being held tonight, April 20, 2023, at 7 PM but Montgomery County Government has not listed the meeting on their calendar or on the webpages dedicated to this project.  

Only residents in the City of Rockville have a clue that this meeting has been scheduled.  For the rest of the County, good luck.


What is a Restoration Center?

A Restoration Center is a 24/7/365 facility that provides voluntary, short-term stabilization services to individuals experiencing a mental health or substance use crisis. By establishing a Restoration Center, the County aims to divert individuals in crisis from hospital emergency rooms, and thereby reduce the current burden on first responders and emergency personnel, and free up resources for medical emergencies.
