Plans for a new behavioral health center estimated to cost nearly $50 million are underway in Collier County, Fla., Gulfshore Business reported March 13.
The 87-bed facility will feature 45 adult crisis stabilization units and an emergency services assessment center, aiming to decrease the cost of mental health treatment in jails across the county. It is expected to cost $49.9 million, according to engineers.
Construction on the 60,000-square-foot facility has yet to begin, but plans for the center were approved in a unanimous vote by the board of county commissioners March 12.
