Destruction of Records

When you are discharged from services, GPCS retains your record for:

  • 10 years from the date of your last contact for services to adults,
  • 24 years after birth for services to minors, and
  • 2 years after the end of limited services, such as request for services or assessments that did not lead to admission or crisis only services.  

After the retention period, your records are destroyed in a manner consistent with HIPAA and state guidelines.  Record destruction will occur on October 25, 2023.  You may exercise your right to request access to your record or transfer copies of your record to another provider at any time before destruction.

The ROOT Project

The Rural Overdose & Outreach Team (ROOT) Project is a collaborative effort between Goochland Powhatan Community Services and Emergency Services Solutions. We envision reducing and eventually eradicating the number of substance use disorder-related emergencies and overdoses, and ensuring recovery support is available to all residents of Powhatan County who are impacted by the disease of addiction. By meeting individuals where they are, ROOT hopes to plant seeds of overdose and relapse prevention, which will then take “root” and grow into a healthy lifestyle of recovery.

Prescription opioids are a growing cause of overdose and youth are at risk of misusing opioid medications. The #1 reason youth misuse prescription drugs is the ease of access. Locking up medications is easy…and important!

If you live or work in Goochland County or Powhatan County you can request free tools to help secure not only your medications, but handguns too. Click here to go to the form.
