Crisis Intervention/Crisis Stabilization

Aspire’s Behavioral Health Crisis Center provides crisis intervention and stabilization services for adults.  The Crisis Service Center operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to provide outpatient crisis stabilization for adults facing an acute mental health or substance use crisis. The Center offers three levels of care starting with the Crisis Services Center unit that receives walk-ins, transfers from emergency rooms, and involuntary referrals for evaluation. The Crisis Service Center serves as an important alternative to waiting for care or a trip to the emergency room. Our dedicated and highly trained staff can help stabilize the crisis and facilitate a smoother transition to higher levels of care when needed.
