Crisis Stabilization

Crisis Stabilization services provide intensive short term mental health care to non-hospitalized individuals (of all ages) experiencing an acute crisis of a psychiatric nature. The goal is to address and stabilize the acute mental health needs at the earliest possible time with ongoing services, avert hospitalization or re-hospitalization; provide a high assurance of safety and security in the least restrictive environment, and mobilize the resources of the community support system, family members, and others for ongoing maintenance, rehabilitation, and recovery.
​
Individuals must meet at least two of the following criteria at the time of admission to the service:
