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.
