Southside Behavioral Health intends to develop a Crisis Receiving Center (CRC) that houses the Crisis Services Department, offering the Crisis Intervention Team Assessment Center (CITAC), 23-hour program, Community Stabilization, and crisis intervention for voluntary individuals.  The CRC will receive individuals who are under Emergency Custody Orders (ECOs) into the secured CITAC area.  A nurse will be onsite 24/7 to obtain VS’s, labs and assess the need for additional medical clearance in the event that inpatient psychiatric hospitalization is recommended by the evaluating Certified Preadmission Screening Clinicians.  Individuals who are medically compromised may be redirected to the hospital emergency department to ensure rapid medical response.

The building will be located in South Hill, VA
