Crisis/Emergency Services
Much like a hospital’s Emergency Department, Crisis/Emergency Services are available to our community for anyone in a crisis situation. Examples of crisis situations could be suicidal feelings or wanting to harm oneself, medication interactions/reactions or other instability requiring immediate intervention. Services can be accessed by individuals, family members, schools or law enforcement authorities.
Hospitalizations
Voluntary or involuntary hospitalizations are coordinated in Crisis/Emergency
Services. If recommended by your psychiatric team or the court
system, Crisis/Emergency Services can provide referrals and make
arrangements for inpatient care.
Hospital liaisons help consumers return
to the community
Crisis/Emergency Services also provide a clinical liaison for
Guilford County residents as they transition out of inpatient
psychiatric care. In addition, Crisis/Emergency provides court-ordered
psychiatric evaluations for citizens in the court system.
How Do I Receive Services?
Our Crisis/Emergency Services are available 24 hours a day, seven
days a week at our Greensboro location. Crisis services are available
during business hours (8am-5pm) at our High Point Center. After-hours
services are available in High Point at High Point Regional Medical
Center.
To help speed the admission process, bring insurance forms or proof of income when you come to the Crisis/Emergency Center. If this is not possible, the fee setting process can be done at a later time.
At Crisis/Emergency Services, someone will determine if you need immediate treatment or if we can schedule you to meet with an intake clinician within the next few days.
