Facility-Based Crisis Centers

What is a Facility-Based Crisis Center?

These centers provide immediate, intensive, and compassionate support services to individuals experiencing acute crisis situations. Designed to offer a safe and supportive environment where people can receive immediate assistance during a critical time, the facilities have the goal of stabilizing individuals and helping them begin the process of recovery or transition to long-term solutions.

The comprehensive care and expertise offered by these centers not only help individuals regain stability but also empower them on their journey to improved mental and physical well-being. In times of crisis and vulnerability, RHA’s facility-based mental health and substance use crisis centers offer compassionate care and a path toward recovery and renewal.

The staff at Neil Dobbins Center were the kindest and most compassionate people. I wasn’t nice when I came in, but y’all didn’t hold that against me and you kept helping me anyway. The nurses and the CPSS/Tech team helped me overcome my shame about needing to come to treatment.
