The Crisis Stabilization Unit is for people in crisis who need more intensive psychiatric treatment and observation. It is a 16 bed, licensed unit on the second floor of the NPC. Trained medical personnel including a psychiatrist, nurses, and clinical social workers work at the CSU.
Consumers are here voluntarily. They stay here for 3 to 5 days. After that time, staff help them find other places in the community for help.
Referrals to CSU generally come from the PES or other outside hospitals or therapists.
