23 Hour Stabilization
What is 23 Hour Stabilization?
A core component of the Crisis Now model is 23 Hour Crisis Stabilization. This crisis stabilization facility is the behavioral health equivalent to a hospital emergency room. The facility offers 24/7 access to mental health and substance use care to anybody that needs the services in a relaxing environment.
Who will have access to 23 Hour Stabilization?
Any person in crisis will have access to 23 Hour Stabilization. The facility will accept walk-ins, at least 90% of all referrals, and all drop offs from first responders.
