Community Stabilization
Our team of Qualified Mental Health staff help children, adolescents and adults who are experiencing an acute psychiatric crisis that places them at risk of hospitalization. This intensive program is short-term, up to 7-10 days.
Individuals must meet all of the following criteria to qualify for Community Stabilization Services:
- The individual has experienced a recent behavioral health crisis (within 72 hours of admission) or the individual is transitioning from a higher level of care and
requires short-term support with identifying and/or engaging in the services necessary to maintain safety and stability in the community; - Documentation indicates evidence that the individual meets criteria for a primary diagnosis consistent with the most recent version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual;
- There is evidence from the individual or collateral contact indicating at least one of the following is present: a. High potential for crisis-cycling without this support; b. Individual does not have the ability and/or the resources to support maintenance of safety and/or stability in the community until longer term services are available/accessible; Individual has been engaged in alternative crisis services or treatment and no longer meet criteria for those services but continue to require community stabilization support;
- The individual currently has moderate to high intensity behavioral and/or emotional needs and without intervention, will further interfere with their ability to function in at least one life domain: family, living situation, school, social, work or community.
Our staff work with individuals in their home and community to stabilize their acute mental health needs at the earliest possible time and avoid psychiatric hospitalization. If the person served is a child or adolescent, it is crucial to the success of the program that at least one parent or guardian participates in services.

Psychiatry
In certain situations, medications are a helpful and appropriate approach to the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mental, emotional and behavioral disorders. Our psychiatric providers can improve quality of life and may even be able to prevent certain crises from arising by promoting mental health stability. While medication is rarely our first line of treatment, our providers know that mental health concerns are legitimate medical issues, often best managed
with medication.
Our psychiatric providers are qualified to assess and treat both the mental and physical aspects of psychological problems.They provide psychiatric evaluations and medication management, alongside the personalized support you need. Please contact the office today to set up your
