Serving the City of Fredericksburg and the counties of Caroline, King George, Spotsylvania and Stafford. “At RACSB, we are committed to helping community members lead the best lives possible. We help babies speak their first words and adults with severe mental illness take their first steps back into the community. Whether you have a brief bout of depression, a debilitating mental illness, or a crippling addiction, we have outpatient services to help.
