Behavioral Health Access Center

The Behavioral Health Access Center is ideal for those patients experiencing a behavioral health crisis without an accompanying medical emergency.

Patients with medical emergencies (including severe bleeding, head trauma, seizures, breathing difficulties, dehydration, and serious bacterial infections) should go to the Emergency Department.

Patients who are medically unstable or withdrawing from drugs or alcohol should also continue to be seen in the ED.

All Access Center patients meet with a registered nurse and a crisis worker for a mental health screening. They will also receive a medical evaluation by an emergency room provider. Depending on the level of care needed, some patients will receive resources and outpatient appointments for ongoing care and follow-up. For some patients, the best option is inpatient hospitalization in the behavioral health unit for more intensive treatment and stabilization.

We are open 24/7. Our main door will close from 9:00 p.m. until 5:00 a.m. nightly, but if you need to visit during these hours you may enter through the Emergency Department.

The entrance is outside the building and located at the Southwest corner of McKay-Dee Hospital, adjacent to the Emergency Department.

Our main entrance will open soon, so please use the Emergency Department Entrance to access Behavioral Health Services until further notice.

Children under the age of 18 will continue to be treated in the Emergency Department for all behavioral health crises.

We are dedicated to providing our community members with the highest quality of care, regardless of ability to pay. Financial concerns should not prevent you from seeking out or receiving treatment.
