a police substation, with a specially trained officer
on duty who takes over and writes a report, and the
patient is under police control until they're diagnosed
by facility staff." The goal, adds Huelat, "is to keep a
lot of these people out of jail and get them safely into
a rehab or treatment program."
A local champion for this kind of program-
dubbed Diversion First-is Creigh Deeds, a Virginia
state senator, with whom the county has been
working to promote more progressive mental health
approaches. In 2013, Deeds was critically wounded
when he was stabbed multiple times by his 24-yearold son, who then shot himself to death. Deeds'
son had been ordered by a judge to be committed
for psychiatric treatment days before his attack
on Deeds-but no available hospital bed could be
found, and he was released home instead.
"This gives us a great, great opportunity to
reduce the stigma of mental health," says CSB's
Williams. "The department is working perfectly.
If someone is suffering from acute mental illness
or a severe substance abuse problem, they can
be brought here. They're not put in with the main
population, so there's little opportunity for someone else to be involved and maybe exacerbate the
problem. We have 23-hour beds where we can
modulate their medication, stabilize them, and, if
they need additional care or hospitalization, we can
refer them."
Not all emergency patients are brought in under
police custody, and Williams has seen a remark-

able difference for these individuals, as well. "Even
the most distressed persons come here and find
solace," he says. "People may be in a psychotic
state, and if they come into a place that's dreary,
that's dark, that looks like an institution-this may
hinder recovery. But now, they come into a bright
place. There's good lighting, which seems to really
play an important part. They can sit in emergency
services, see this very welcoming design. There's a
place where kids can play, where moms and dads
don't have to worry about little kids when they're
trying to help a loved one. There are people down
there to keep an eye on things, peer workers to help
intercede.
"It's almost night and day," Williams says. "It has
reduced the number of [violent] incidents and we're
able to do more for these folks."

The third floor houses
women's, youth, and family
programs.

A natural order
The unique programming within the building is
wrapped, inside and out, in a nature-driven design
theme built on the concept of fractals. "Fractals
are the basic geometry of organic design," says
Huelat. "They're formed by nature, and they change
in scale. Think about the leaf of a tree, and how it
repeats the shape of the tree as a whole: You'll see
the center stem of the leaf and [its veins] branch out
from there, and then you see the shape of the tree,
with its trunk and branches."
People, Huelat continues, tend to choose organic
pathways. "We don't live and work in a grid naturally;
