About the Program(s)

23-Hour Crisis Observation and Holding Services are designed for individuals who need short-term crisis intervention in a safe environment less restrictive than hospitalization. This level of service is appropriate for individuals who require protection or when an individual’s ability to cope in the community is severely compromised and it is expected the crisis can be resolved in 23 hours. 23-hour crisis observation and holding services include, but are not limited to, treatment, medication administration, meeting with extended family or significant others, and referral to appropriate services

A New Day Behavioral Health Walk In Clinic believe that access to services should be present prior to a crisis, but are also trained to support our community members in a crisis response. We hope that our welcoming space will help to assist with crisis of mental health and substance abuse. As an alternative placement for voluntary crisis care, A New Day will help with diversion from emergency departments, inappropriate placement in and inpatient hospital units, and jail.
