Crisis Intervention Services

This service provides assessment and pre-hospital screening through a program known as Psychiatric Emergency Services (PES). PES provides emergency evaluations 24-hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week. Individuals arriving at PES are seen by a clinician, then by a psychiatrist, who work together to gather information, provide therapy, and prescribe medication when necessary. Patients are then referred to the proper inpatient, outpatient, or specialized service provider. PES is NOT a medical emergency facility, but their proximity to area hospitals allows ready access to physical care. Service Provided By: Portage Path Behavioral Health

Crisis Stabilization

The Crisis Stabilization Unit (CSU) is a sixteen (16) bed unit which provides a structured, short-term residential environment where individuals are voluntarily monitored and treated according to individual need. The goal of CSU is to manage the crisis in the most effective manner, then refer the individual for follow-up treatment services. Service Provided By: Portage Path Behavioral Health

Intake and Referral

Diagnostic Assessment

A diagnostic assessment is a clinical evaluation provided by a qualified professional in order to assess client needs and functioning, determine appropriate service / treatment based on identification of the presenting problem, evaluation of mental status and formulation of a diagnostic impression. The outcome of the assessment is diagnosis and recommendations of appropriate services/treatment and / or the need for further assessment. Maybe we can put a statement somewhere about the fact that our agencies have specialized co-occurring treatment programs, or that they are able to meet this need.
