Community crisis centers are safe places where you can get help from a licensed clinician, without needing to go to the emergency room. Some are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Get support for social or family situations, depression, anxiety, thoughts of suicide and alcohol or drug use.
There are two kinds of crisis centers where you can go:
- Go to a Behavioral Health Urgent Care (BHUC) if you need immediate help but not hospital-level care. Almost all are open 24/7 and can support you for up to 23 hours.
- Go to a Facility-based Crisis Center if you need more intensive care and a safe place to stay for more than one day.
Any of these centers will help you in a crisis, and you don't need an appointment or insurance.
