History
As provided in the Code of Virginia, the Eastern Shore Community Services Board was sanctioned and formed by the local governing bodies of Accomack and Northampton County in 1971. The organization is known locally as the ESCSB (or simply the CSB).
Licensed and funded through the Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services, the ESCSB is one of 40 community services boards in Virginia. These community services boards, in conjunction with 16 state facilities, form the public mental health, intellectual disabilities, and substance abuse service delivery system.
The ESCSB is governed by a Board of Directors appointed by Northampton and Accomack Counties' Boards of Supervisors.
Since its inception in 1971 as a bi-county provider, the ESCSB has been providing quality services for individuals with mental health and substance abuse disorders and developmental disabilities. Additionally, the ESCSB provides substance abuse services for youth and adolescents and early intervention services for developmentally delayed infants and toddlers.
Services are provided for insured and non-insured individuals, using a fee schedule based on individuals' ability to pay.
Annually, over 2,000 individuals are served by the ESCSB.
