Hanover County Community Service Board

Hanover County Community Services Board is a government run outpatient addiction treatment and behavioral health agency in Ashland, Virginia.

They offer outpatient counseling and case management, psychiatric and medication services as well as crisis support for mental health and substance use disorders across the lifespan.

How does same day access work?

Hanover County CSB accepts walk in assessment requests in person at its Ashland location, Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on a first come and first served basis.

Assessments cover mental health, substance use and co occurring disorders, and you're then offered the first available appointment with a qualified provider at their preferred location, either Ashland or Bell Creek in Mechanicsville.

If you're seeking help, this is important because motivation to enter treatment can fade if there's a long wait.

Same day access is available with or without insurance, which makes Hanover County CSB a practical entry point for residents in crisis or without coverage. Although, I want to note that it is not a fit for anyone living outside the county.

Why county residency matters for treatment?

Hanover County CSB limits services to Hanover County residents.

Fees for the uninsured are based on household income. A staff member reviews financial options during intake and a transportation program helps residents physically reach appointments.

The agency coordinates with schools, law enforcement and social services. They run CARF accredited programs that include assertive community treatment and integrated substance use and mental health outpatient care for adults and children.

Telehealth may be available and a 24/7 crisis line covers emergencies outside walk in hours.

Hanover County CSB accepts many insurance plans and offers income based fees for qualifying uninsured clients.
