The facility aims to provide timely intervention for individuals in crisis who may not require hospitalization but require more than routine care. 

The project was funded by nearly $3.6 million from Pasco County’s opioid settlement funds and is located on a campus that already offers inpatient detoxification and withdrawal management, allowing for seamless transition to higher levels of care when necessary. 

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.
