Welcome to Recovery Program Solutions of
Virginia (RPSV)
RPSV is a nonprofit organization founded in 2011 to support adults with mental health, substance abuse, and homelessness issues across Northern Virginia. RPSV operates five drop-in Recovery Centers (located in Annandale, Arlington, Merrifield, Reston, and South County Alexandria) which serve ~9,000 adults annually, many of whom use our services many times throughout the year. Our oldest participant is 84, and ~35% of those we serve are veterans. Our programs are free to the public.
RPSV’s mission is to bring new life and a fresh spark to community mental health and addiction recovery programs. Our programs are designed to:
- Maximize consumer self-determination and recovery
- Promote access to treatment, maximize participant self-determination
- Focus on decreasing dependence on psychiatric hospitalizations
A Focus on Recovery
RPSV’s tagline is “we are those we serve”. This is because Individuals who have recovered from their mental illnesses and substance abuse issues staff RPSV. This unique aspect is what opens the door to growth and healing by RPSV participants as they discover our safe, nonjudgmental, peer-supported facilities. RPSV offers a myriad of programs and services including one-on-one and peer support groups, referrals to housing and financial assistance, access to free eye exams, employment assistance, and much more.
We promote a process of change that allows individuals to improve their health and wellness, live a meaningful, self-directed life, and strive to reach their full potential. Join us! Please call (800) 374-4198 for more information today!
What People Say About Us
I began attending the Merrifield Peer Resource Center (MPRC)
as a peer in 2015. I became a volunteer at the MPRC in July 2017 and
I assisted staff and guests there. My work gave me the confidence and
the experience to apply for a job at Fairfax County. I was hired in October
2017 as a Peer Recovery Specialist at Emergency Services in the same
building, as the center.
The center is a good place. It keeps a few people from getting in trouble, and they give snacks and food for those who don’t have.
I like the service that this center provides for us. We thank God for all that he has done for us. I’m so grateful that I have somewhere to go. I thank the staff for everything that they do and I will remain coming here.
