“The mission of the Mental Health Division is to promote recovery and safety.”

Acute Mental Health Care

Acute care is provided in emergency situations where an individual is gravely disabled or is likely to do serious harm to self or others as a result of a mental illness. Acute psychiatric inpatient treatment is provided in a community hospital or a certified freestanding Evaluation and Treatment facility. The purpose of acute psychiatric hospitalization is to evaluate, diagnose and stabilize acute symptoms and is of very short duration. A determination of medical necessity is made by the RSN/PHIP for publicly funded services. For publicly funded services, call the RSN crisis line and request an evaluation.
