Crisis Stabilization Unit (CSU)

Provides emergency psychiatric evaluation and crisis stabilization to adults experiencing a behavioral health crisis. As an outpatient facility, the CSU may evaluate and treat clients for no longer than 23 hour and 59 minutes; i.e., the client does not reside at the facility. The primary goal of the CSU is to help stabilize and treat individuals in order to refer them to the most appropriate, hospital diversion when indicated or to facilitate admission to psychiatric inpatient units when the need for this level care is present.
