The CMHA-CEI Crisis Services Department provides 24 hour, seven day per week, triage for persons experiencing a psychiatric emergency. The Crisis Services Department provides evaluation and screening for inpatient psychiatric hospital admission for persons with Medicaid or those who are uninsured. Persons with commercial mental health coverage are typically directed to contact their health plan for authorization should psychiatric hospitalization be necessary. Crisis Services staff may assist with various aspects of the voluntary or involuntary psychiatric admission process, and may provide limited assistance to family members or others seeking to have a person evaluated for hospitalization. Crisis Services staff work closely with the Adult Mental Health Services Crisis Recovery Team to seek alternatives to psychiatric hospitalization if and when such would be reasonable. The Crisis Services Department evaluates persons who are medically stabilized first, and staff work closely with area hospital emergency departments to ensure persons are suitable candidates for mental health evaluation and that a medical condition does not result in an inaccurate mental health diagnosis.

Read more Nedra Y. 20-12-2012 Hits:645 AMHS Testimonials Jason Moon Before I started seeing ZoeAnn or Ron I had no confidence or self-esteem.  Depression was constant.  I wanted to hurt myself, I had no love for myself.  Anger ruled my life.  After coming here for many years my therapist helped me to turn my life around in a positive manner to love myself and have the confidence and self-esteem to “Git ‘er Done!”  I learned that I am a very special and loving person.  I am very proud to have come here and have had the love and understanding and support from ZoeAnn and Ron.  The saddest part about leaving this world some day will be leaving these wonderful people behind.  Thank you for all the confidence you have given me.
