Crisis Stabilization Units

Crisis Stabilization Units (CSUs) are specialized facilities designed to support individuals experiencing mental health crises. They provide a safe environment where individuals can receive immediate care, assessment, and support without the need for hospitalization. CSUs focus on de-escalating crises, providing therapeutic interventions, and developing a plan for ongoing care. They typically operate 24/7 and are staffed by mental health professionals who aim to stabilize individuals and connect them with appropriate resources. Their goal is to reduce emergency room visits and prevent longer hospital stays by addressing mental health needs promptly and effectively.
