SpectraCare Health Systems in Houston County has been added to Alabama's list of mental health crisis centers.
On Monday, Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey announced the expansion of the Alabama Crisis System of Care with two additional crisis centers for fiscal year 2023 — SpectraCare in Houston County and Indian Rivers Behavioral Health in Tuscaloosa County. The two centers add to the four existing centers in Huntsville, Birmingham, Montgomery and Mobile, currently serving individuals with mental illness and substance use disorders at staged levels of care.
The two newly awarded centers in Tuscaloosa County and Houston County will serve large populations in those regions with additional special populations, including veterans and young adults. The current crisis centers are located at AltaPointe Health in Mobile, WellStone in Huntsville, the Montgomery Area Mental Health Authority in Montgomery and the Jefferson, Blount, St. Clair Mental Health Authority in Birmingham.
Mental Health Crisis Centers are designated places for community members, law enforcement, and first responders to take an individual who is in mental health crisis. The centers offer both walk-in access and the capacity for first responders and law enforcement to transfer individuals to the center for crisis care for a warm hand-off to staff, short-term admission, medication management and case management.
