Open 24 Hours a Day, 7 Days a Week
Emergency Care for Individuals Experiencing a Mental ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ Crisis
The Receiving Center at Huntsman Mental ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ Institute (HMHI) helps adults ages 18 and older get help during a mental health crisis 24 hours a day, seven days a week. ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ are supported by a skilled team of mental health care professionals who help patients receive care and helping to create a connection to community resources.
The interventions are short, highly intensive, and focused on resolving mental health crisis in the least restrictive manner possible. This approach leads to better patient outcomes with lower cost to an emergency room visit due to reduction of unnecessary inpatient care.
The future of crisis care is underway with the Kem and Carolyn Gardner Mental ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ Crisis Care Center, and expansion of the Receiving Center care model.
