Crisis Intervention Services are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week: both scheduled and walk-in services are available at the Manassas and Woodbridge offices from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday; and Friday from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. Emergency Services staff are available after these hours, on weekends and holidays and can be accessed by calling our main number: (703) 792-7800 (TTY:711) in Manassas or (703) 792-4900 (TTY:711) in Woodbridge.
