Crisis Stabilization Facility

The Crisis Stabilization Facility will offer rapid access to voluntary, short-term residential care to individuals experiencing a behavioral health crisis. The program will provide individualized crisis support on a 24/7 basis and operate as a licensed Community Based Residential Facility (CBRF). The facility will have a capacity of 10 beds for exclusive use by Dane County. The program will provide services such as psychiatric prescribing, peer support, and multidisciplinary treatment. The goal of the program is to reduce the level of risk present in a behavioral health crisis and prevent placement in a hospital, institute, or jail. • The program will operate 24/7 with awake staff at night and at least two staff within the facility at all times. • The program will dedicate at least 10 beds for exclusive use by Dane County. • The program will establish screening, triage, and prioritization standards to reflect the urgency of timely disposition for individuals in crisis. • The program will provide individualized support to individuals who engage in substance use and facilitate warm handoffs and the exchange of relevant clinical information. • The program will maintain licensure in good standing as a CBRF and meet requirements to bill for services at Tier 2 as a crisis-dedicated stabilization facility.
