To be eligible, clients must admit voluntarily, be 18 years or older, and not have homicidal or suicidal intent.Build a Strong Recovery PlanThe CSU uses a recovery-focused approach, offering therapy, medication management, and group support. Staff work closely with each person to create a plan for getting better and staying healthy after leaving. Licensed professionals provide services like psychiatric evaluations, individual therapy, and help connecting to long-term support.Settle Into a Healing EnvironmentGuests stay in a calm, supportive environment with shared bedrooms. The unit includes shared bathrooms, daily meals, and indoor common areas to relax. While outdoor access may be limited, the center ensures a safe, structured setting.
