Prince George’s County, Maryland Opens Maryland’s First-Ever Crisis Care Facility

Prince George’s County opened the Dyer Care Center (DCC), the county’s first-ever crisis care facility. This center represents a groundbreaking approach to providing essential support for those facing mental health and substance use crises.

The Dyer Care Center provides short-term personalized emergency care to community members experiencing a mental health crisis. It’s designed to function like an emergency room but specifically for mental health crises, providing emergency, ambulance, and patient drop-off services. The new facility helps ensure that individuals in crisis receive the specialized care they need, and diverts pressure away from emergency rooms . . .
