Adults experiencing a behavioral health crisis can now receive immediate support. The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services is partnering with 10 agencies across the state creating Adult Crisis Stabilization Units, also known as CSU’s.
Adult CSU programs focus on stabilizing individuals 18 and older with licensed staff within 72 hours, providing support until the individual is actively engaged in their next level of care.
Earlier this year, Network180, Kent County’s behavioral health care authority, partnered with Trinity Health Grand, began providing CSU services. Since then, Network180 has engaged in over 580 interventions and admitted over 260 adults to its crisis unit.
Pine Rest Christian Mental Health Services in partnership with Integrated Services of Kalamazoo are also developing CSU’s.
Once all sites are up and running, MDHHS estimates they will provide in-county access for behavioral health crisis for 57% of Michigan’s population.
A $32 million investment establishing CSU’s was included in the Fiscal Year 2023 MDHHS budget.
While these units are still in development, individuals experiencing a behavioral health crisis can call 988 for immediate assistance.
