Staffed by multidisciplinary teams, these centers provide short-term stabilization, assessment, and referrals for individuals experiencing mental health or substance use crises. Services may include detox support, medication-assisted recovery, and counseling.
These mobile teams come directly to homes, schools, and community settings. Made up of clinicians, peers, and trained responders, they provide on-the-spot assessment, de-escalation, and stabilization without requiring travel to a facility, unless necessary.
Crisis walk-in centers and mobile crisis units are typically publicly funded crises services that may be unfamiliar to many, yet are available in communities across the United States. They help reduce unnecessary hospitalizations, emergency room visits, and law enforcement involvement.
