Division/Department/Program:

Adult Crisis Stabilization Unit View Point Health is a partner with DBHDD that provides individual and group counseling, medication management, recovery and crisis stabilization services for behavioral health and developmental disabilities. We serve adult clients with psychiatric crisis intervention and stabilization services as well as substance use disorders. We offer a multidisciplinary approach to treatment services. Our recovery approach is with Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mental health clinical support services, substance use support and medication management. Our goal is to provide person-centered care and utilize a trauma-informed approach to our client and their treatment. A Crisis Stabilization Unit (CSU) operates 24 hours/7 days a week (including weekends and holidays) to provide a safe and structured environment for clients experiencing a mental health crisis. The services are like residential treatment but provide a higher level of care due to our acuity of the clients who are in crisis. Our units operate much like a psychiatric hospital. A client typically stays at the CSU about 5 7 days to ensure he/she is stable from the prompting event of their crisis prior to discharge. Clients do not leave the facility during their stay with us. Additionally, we offer a Temporary Observation Unit (TOU) at the Adult Crisis Stabilization Unit. In our TOU area, we provided evaluation services within a 23-hour period to determine whether an admission to the Crisis Stabilization Unit or inpatient psychiatric facility is needed or if the client would be able to be stabilized with more intensive outpatient (rather than inpatient/hospital) service setting. During time on TOU a client may or may not be on an involuntary status and will be assessed by a nurse, physician, and clinician. A paraprofessional and CPS may also provide services during this time to assess the clients overall needs and level of care. In addition to the initial assessment, clinicians may also provide crisis intervention services, individual and family counseling services as well as case management to assist in determining client plan at end of their 23 hours stay.
