Crisis Stabilization Units

Adults & Children – Sometimes no matter how strong we are, life can overwhelm us or a psychological disorder can get the better of us. We may feel hopeless and perhaps think about taking our own life. Our Crisis Stabilization unit for adults and separate children’s unit offer a safe place where a Psychiatrist lead treatment team can assess what you or your loved one needs to get through the immediate crisis and start feeling better. Children in crisis have unique needs and our children’s unit gives children and families a safe place for inpatient treatment and the child-centered care required to establish balance in their lives again. Each crisis unit provides short-term inpatient treatment to individuals with serious, acute psychiatric illness. Examples include suicidal thoughts/feelings, violent behavior, persons who are court ordered for evaluation or other severe psychiatric disturbances that cannot be addressed as an outpatient. The crisis units serve as an alternative to long-term inpatient hospitalization by providing brief, intensive stabilization services. Individuals receive psychiatric/nursing assessments and treatment and group, individual and recreation therapy services as needed. Discharge planning and aftercare referral to outpatient or other services are also provided. Persons may refer themselves or be referred by family members, the judicial system, law enforcement, local medical hospitals, physicians or significant others.

Addictions Receiving Facility

Drug and alcohol, misuse, abuse, or addiction can devastate a life and it doesn’t matter what age you are or how much money you make. If you or a loved one is drinking too much, or are struggling with legal or illegal drugs, we can help. For many individuals, support and assistance through acute life-threatening withdrawal from alcohol and opioids/heroin use is an essential part of their recovery process. Psychiatric and nursing care, medication and monitoring of detoxification symptoms enables individuals to safely withdraw from addictive substances. Detoxification is a short stay program and individuals are provided supports to continue their recovery through the most appropriate outpatient or residential program to meet their unique needs. Recovery Specialists work with each individual to determine the best discharge and aftercare plan. Our addictions receiving facility provides voluntary and involuntary *(Marchman Act) detoxification service

*Marchman Act defined: Chapter 397 of the Florida Statutes is known as the “Hal S. Marchman Alcohol and Other Drug Services Act of 1993”.
