This project provides for the planning, design and construction of a replacement facility for the existing Avery Road Treatment Center (ARTC). The existing facility provides residential substance abuse treatment for low-income County residents. The County entered into a public-private partnership with assistance from the State to complete the project.
A new service contract (along with the lease) with Potomac Healthcare Foundation (PHF) went into effect February 1st, 2017. HHS administers the service contract. DGS administers the lease. Temporary relocation of most of the service off site to PHF property occurred in early 2019.
Noelker & Hull Associates, Inc., Frederick, MD , have been selected as the architect for this project.
Costello Construction Inc., from Columbia, MD, have been selected as the General Contractor for construction.
Construction started in Spring 2019 and was substantially completed in February 2021. The facility is anticipated to start operation and accepting patience by Early April 2021.
