The transition follows the announcement that UNC Health would stop services at the end of September. Alliance Health — which operates the Raleigh facility — and Wake County have selected RI International to resume operations of crisis services.

Crisis services will return to the facility in phases, starting with the estimated reopening of its walk-in crisis center in January, Alliance Health COO Sean Schreiber said in the report.

At the Becker's Fall Behavioral Health Summit, taking place November 4–5 in Chicago, behavioral health leaders and executives will explore strategies for expanding access to care, integrating services, addressing workforce challenges and leveraging innovation to improve outcomes across the behavioral health continuum.
