Cumberland County Mental Health Center's Medical Services


  MEDICAL SERVICES at Cumberland County Mental Health consists of physicians and nurses who provide evaluation and treatment to patients of the Center. The Medical Services also provides Community Education and Consultation on topics related to mental health, mental illness, substance abuse and developmental disabilities.

Medical Services attend patients at almost all of our Center's locations, but are concentrated at the Bradford Avenue Center to see adults, while children, teenagers and their families are seen at the Child and Family Services Center. Our physicians staff the Roxie Avenue Center, a crisis stabilization and detoxification center managed completely by the Center. The physicians provide evening clinic hours as well as emergency coverage to the Cape Fear Valley Emergency Department, and to patients of the Center at Behavioral Health Care of Cape Fear Valley Health System.

In order to qualify for care at the Center, an individual must be suffering from a mental illness, have a diagnosed problem with abusing substances, or have a significant developmental disability.

Patients who suffer mental illnesses need much support and many services outside the narrow confines of medical care. These services are provided by other departments working as a team within the Center, in consultation with the Medical Services, and are an invaluable benefit to our patients, without which many of them could not maintain themselves independently, or with their families, in our community.

The Mental Health Center is a community service agency that plans, coordinates, and provides mental health, developmental disabilities, and substance abuse services. The Center offers a full continuum of care, educational and prevention services to all citizens of Cumberland County. The Center is located at 109 Bradford Avenue, Fayetteville, NC 28301.
