CRISIS RECEIVING & STABILIZATION
You Don’t Have to Face a Crisis Alone.
When mental health challenges, substance use concerns, or emotional distress become overwhelming, Bowen Health's Crisis Receiving & Stabilization services provide immediate support, compassionate care, and a connection to the ongoing services that support recovery and wellness.
To Receive Care
-
If you are unsure whether Crisis Receiving & Stabilization services are the right fit, call our 24-hour crisis line. Our team can assess your situation, answer questions, provide immediate support, and help connect you to the most appropriate level of care.
-
If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health, substance use, or emotional crisis, call or text 988 anytime for immediate support from trained crisis counselors. If additional services are needed, 988 can help connect individuals to local crisis resources and emergency support.

If you are experiencing a mental health or substance use crisis, you do not need an appointment to receive support. Come directly to our Crisis Receiving & Stabilization Center, where our team will assess your needs and help determine the most appropriate next steps.

What is Crisis Receiving & Stabilization?
An emotional health or substance use crisis can feel frightening and overwhelming for both individuals and families.
Crisis Receiving & Stabilization services provide immediate assessment, support, and treatment for people experiencing:
Suicidal thoughts or concerns about safety
Severe anxiety, depression, or emotional distress
Mental health symptoms that are worsening
Substance use-related crises
Co-occurring mental health and substance use concerns
Situations where someone needs urgent support to remain safe and stable
Our goal is to help individuals regain stability, understand what support they need, and begin the next steps toward recovery.
What Happens When You Arrive?
When someone is experiencing a crisis, uncertainty can add to the stress. It matters to us that you know what to expect when you or someone you love comes to Bowen Health for help. Our team is here to listen, provide immediate support, and guide you through each step of the process. We work with individuals and families to address urgent needs, restore stability, and develop a plan for continued care, because recovery is supported through ongoing relationships, services, and community connections.
When you arrive, here's what you can expect:
-
A trained behavioral health professional will meet with you to understand what is happening, evaluate immediate needs, and determine the safest level of care.
-
Our team works to reduce distress, improve safety, and address urgent mental health or substance use concerns.
Depending on individual needs, stabilization may include:
Psychiatric evaluation
Medication support
Nursing care
Crisis counseling
Observation and monitoring
Care coordination

Not everyone who enters crisis services needs hospitalization.

Inpatient psychiatric hospitalization when clinically necessary
Connected Care Beyond the Crisis.
Crisis Care Is Only the Beginning
At Bowen Health, we believe recovery happens through ongoing support, not one-time interventions.
Bowen Health provides integrated behavioral health, physical health, substance use treatment, recovery services, and care coordination, and our team partners with each person to create a plan that supports long-term health, recovery, and resilience.
For Families & Loved Ones
When someone you care about is in crisis, it can be difficult to know what to do.
Our team partners with individuals and families to provide guidance, support, and information so they understand available options and connect their loved one with appropriate care.
If you are concerned about someone's safety or well-being, contact our Crisis Services team for assistance.
When Should I Seek Crisis Services?
Seek immediate help if you or someone you know is:
Thinking about suicide
Talking about self-harm
Experiencing severe emotional distress
Experiencing hallucinations or significant changes in behavior
Facing a substance use crisis
Unable to safely manage symptoms without immediate support
If there is an immediate danger to life or safety, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.
