The Behavior Health Crisis Center provides support for individuals in crisis. Our facility provides individuals experiencing a behavioral health crisis a safe place to get their immediate basic needs met (e.g. meal, shower, clean clothes) for up to 23 hours. Referrals can be made by law enforcement, EMS, hospitals and by walk-in. Their needs will be assessed and linked to services that are appropriate.

The Crisis Center is open for anyone:

• 18 years or older
• experiencing a behavioral health crisis
• that is ambulatory

The goal is to provide a safe and less costly alternative to getting help by diverting individuals from emergency rooms and jails during a behavioral health crisis. The services allow for crisis intervention, observation and stabilization while further working to connect the person to ongoing treatment and care. While it is not an “overnight” shelter,  participants may stay at the Crisis Center for up to 23 consecutive hours while staff works to connect them with ongoing support.

The Eastern Missouri MIH Network is a local “systems of care” approach on whole person care.  The service delivery model in Eastern Missouri capitalizes on the local partnership of Union, Meramec, St. Clair, Washington, Gerald and Lincoln County Ambulance Districts, along with health care providers including Compass Health Network, Mercy Hospital Washington and Lincoln.

MIH removes the barrier so many face in our community: access to care.  The program brings health care to the consumer in their home.

Services include:

Diagnostics (EKG)

Infusions

Vaccinations

Substance Use Disorder Treatment

Hospice Support

and many others.
