Crisis Services

Mobile Crisis Services

A qualified clinician will come to the Emergency Room or talk to a patient via Telemed to determine which course of treatment is appropriate for the current situation. Please note that inpatient hospitalization is not always the outcome of a Mobile Crisis Unit evaluation, but the clinician will provide resources and community support if the recommendation is for an alternative to inpatient care.

ALSO NOTE: Crisis service providers vary by county.

Crisis Stabilization Units

The Crisis Stabilization Unit (CSU) is an alternative to inpatient treatment during the time of a crisis. The CSU provides crisis stabilization in a less intensive environment.
