The DWIHN Crisis Assessment Center (CAC) is where consumers are evaluated to determine their
medical necessity for crisis level services. The CAC needs to accommodate individuals that can
walk-in, are escorted by law enforcement or paramedics, receive professional mental health
assessment, and referral to services including psychiatric hospitalization. The Crisis Assessment
Center staff will work with community partners to triage individuals to the most clinically
appropriate setting in DWIHN’s crisis continuum. Access to services are 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week, 365 days a year.
The goal is to expand the availability of resources designed to meet this level of medical
necessity, which further serves to divert adults with serious mental illness,
Intellectual/Developmental Disorders (IDD), and Substance Use Disorders (SUD) from higher cost
inpatient services, as well as children with Serious Emotional Disturbance (SED), IDD, Autism
Spectrum Disorder and SUD, and alleviate prolonged stays for individuals with mental illness
from the community's emergency departments.

Total Bed Capacity = 38 Beds
Crisis Stabilization Unit (CSU) Crisis Residential Unit (CRU) Sober Living Unit

Capacity 15 Adult beds Capacity 5 Adult beds
The CSU is where individuals can
receive crisis screening, crisis
intervention and psychiatric
evaluation/consultation.
Individuals can be observed up to 23
hours (Note: current legislation is
scheduled to go through the Senate
allowing for a length of stay of up to 72
hours) The adult and children’s units
will be separated.
The CRU is a 24-hour Level of Care
Utilization System (LOCUS) level 5
service. The CRU is a short-term, up to
14-day, voluntary program that provides
trauma informed treatment, crisis
intervention, and recovery skills. Services
may be extended and regularly
monitored, if justified by clinical need, as
determined by the interdisciplinary
team. Services may be used to avert a
psychiatric admission, or to shorten the
length of an inpatient stay when clinically
indicated.
The Sober Living Unit is a 23-hour
program designed to monitor individuals
who need withdrawal
management services and have no
health risks associated with the
withdrawal process. The Sobering Living
Unit will emphasize peer and social
support programming while
continuously monitoring medical
condition. The goal of the program is de-
escalation of the individual with peer
support and appropriate follow up
referrals. This is a voluntary program.
