Behavioral health crisis situations are serious but do not always require a trip to the emergency room. Alliance provides access to many crisis services that aim to meet the needs of people with mental health, substance use, and intellectual and developmental disabilities.

If you need crisis services:

• Call your behavioral healthcare provider if you have one.
• Call our Behavioral Health Crisis line 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at 877-223-4617. Alliance staff will evaluate your needs and help you find the right service and care.

Behavioral Health Urgent Care

Behavioral health urgent care centers are a community-based option to help people in crisis. Visitors to a behavioral health urgent care center have access to a team that includes psychiatrists, nurses, social workers, and other trained staff in a safe and respectful space. As well as screening, you will receive medical care, access to medications as needed, and referrals to providers and other resources for follow-up.

No appointment is needed. You can walk into one of the locations below for care.

Crisis and Assessment Centers
At an Alliance Crisis and Assessment Center you will meet with doctors who will help assess your treatment needs when you are in a behavioral health crisis or intense emotional distress.

Some centers also provide community-based inpatient services and detox services, and other centers will add these services in the future. These services help people in an average of 5-7 days build the skills they need to work through crisis, begin recovery, and return to their community with continued treatment services. This also reduces the need for psychiatric hospitalization and emergency department evaluations.

If other services are needed, staff will work with you and Alliance to find the right treatment setting before you leave the center.

You should go to a Crisis and Assessment Center if you:

• Feel you want to hurt yourself or others
• Are hearing voices or are told you are talking to yourself
• Are using drugs or alcohol and have someone to bring you safely to a Center
• Are depressed or too sad to take care of yourself or others in your care
