Lake County Crisis Triage Stabilization Center is a 23-hour Crisis Triage Stabilization Center. As part of the center, a Living Room pairs guests with a peer counselor and offers crisis intervention in addition to basic needs such as food, clothes, showers, and transportation. The county has also expanded its Living Room Wellness Center to include a police drop-off option. The service provider, sheriff’s office, and state’s attorney’s office provide funding for the expanded services.

The Crisis Receiving Center serves 12,000 adults and 2,400 youth a year. It offers various services, including a 24/7 mental health urgent care and a 23-hour observation unit for patients who would otherwise be “boarded” in the emergency room. Staff can also initiate medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals experiencing opioid withdrawal. The CRC was built with Pima County bond funds, with Medicaid payments funding the patient care.

The Deschutes County Stabilization Center provides short-term mental health treatment, assessment, and stabilization. Community members can walk in, or law enforcement and community providers can refer them to services 24 hours, seven days a week. The Center provides crisis intervention, peer support, case management, medication support, and a respite unit with recliners as a space to decompress and reengage in their recovery.

The Respite and Recovery Center is a peer-run crisis service model. By combining clinical and peer-based approaches for mental health crisis stabilization, the center offers the options to meet each individual’s current need while simultaneously working with individuals to engage in crisis planning to help avoid or better manage future crises.

Individuals can be referred to the Restoration Center by law enforcement, courts, the Mobile Crisis Outreach Team, the sobering unit, the Crisis Care Center, individuals, families, and behavioral health professionals. Individuals can also simply walk in to receive services, as is the case for many of its homeless clients. As part of the diversion continuum, the Restoration Center allows officers to drop off an individual experiencing a mental health crisis and be back on the street within 15 minutes to take more calls for service.
