Clinical Emergency Care Without Hospitalization
Many of us are used to visiting the ER when the unexpected happens, but it can feel different when you’re dealing with mental health or addiction. While intakes and long-term stays can be beneficial, the time they take away from other responsibilities can be off putting. But there is another way.
The mental health urgent care option at this hospital provides rapid stabilization and referral services to get you back on your feet and the right path. They try to avoid hospitalization unless it’s necessary, so you’ll only have an inpatient stay if an assessment determines it’s best for your current condition.
Community Based Recovery Groups
Among the case management services this location offers is a connection to community based recovery groups. These aren’t treatment centers but rather support groups that can aid you during treatment and recovery. There are numerous groups following different models or specialties, so you’re sure to find something that agrees with you.
