Transitions Crisis Triage Facility
Lourdes Behavioral Health offers a 16-bed crisis triage facility, Transitions, which provides safe, structured and supportive care for individuals suffering from a mental health crisis. Transitions is a voluntary service, meaning patients must consent to treatment.
What is a Behavioral Health Crisis?
A mental health or behavioral health crisis is a situation in which a person’s behaviors and emotions escalate in a way that may prevent them from performing activities of daily living. The patient may also be at risk of harm to self or others.
Patients may be referred to Transitions by themselves, providers, case managers, crisis services, therapists, peer support, family members, first responders or the emergency room. A mental health professional will conduct an immediate phone assessment or screening to determine the severity of the crisis, eligibility and immediate safety risks. If necessary, the individual may need to visit an emergency room for medical clearance prior to admission to ensure they are medically stable.
Crisis Stabilization Services
Crisis stabilization typically lasts three to five days but can vary based on individual needs. A treatment plan is developed upon arrival with the patient, focusing on stabilizing the immediate crisis, managing symptoms and creating a safety plan for post-discharge. Additional services include:
-
-
- 24/7 supervision and care
- Individual and group therapy sessions
- Medication management, if needed
- Connection to community resources (e.g., housing, case management, outpatient services)
- Aftercare planning
